I am in the process of buying a Rt12 and am thinking about ordering a shorter gearing. What would be your recommendation?

Many thanks & congrats on your car!

P.S.: I would rather not install the aero kit or whatever optical package you have in mind. Your car is perfect understatement as it is now

Actually Iīve never driven the car with regular shifting. With regular shifting top speed is 363 km/h with my gearbox the car is quicker up to a lower top speed - approx 330. My logic, when ordering the altered gearbox, was that the standardversion is optimized for autobahn. In track and on roads outside autobahn 330 is fast enough.

RUF promises 650 but allways deliver more and thereby creating a myth that RUF hp is stronger than other hp. My car delivered 714 in the bench and then I installed a few goodies that should add 20-40 extra hp. I donīt know the final result, but I can feel it in my but when driving.

Whats the truth? 650 or 700+?
We have sold a 650 hp kit which is what Ruf guarantees with pump gas (98 octane). So as long as it's not below 650 we're all happy.
