Hmm, I noticed that, but I thought the owner had changed it, or that RUF used the Porsche emblem...

Real RUF, note the emblem...

*EDIT*~Yes, that is the world-famous RUF Yellowbird CTR...

Ruf - Porsche's Tuning company. They actually change so much on the cars though that they're now an official manufacturer.

One more thing...

They give you more satisfaction as well as a challenge at first, but when you get used to it, it's a great feeling.[/cough]

Is it still a great feeling when you're upside down, paralysed, in a wet, muddy ditch at the side of the road coughing up blood?

And what do you mean "when you get used to it"? You cant get used to it! you cant predict the unpredictable! The reason the 911 is a bad car is because its unpredictable.

I can totally see why you'd want one though, the engines are good. But at the end of the day, id rather have a bog standard 924 and keep my life.

U gotta live life dangerously CC... Otherwise, it gets boring and unchallenging, and u end up becoming a serial killer, or worse yet, a farmer...

I did live dangerously this year, i raced a metro with a totally rotten subframe this year, could have collapsed at any moment

 

[lesofprimus]

That coulda been ugly....

I do some racing of my own... !/4 mile racing.. I own a 1970 Plymouth Hemi GTX... Dyno's out at 550hp... Just about completely restored...

 

[cheddar cheese]

[lesofprimus]

RUF is a manufacturer because it manufactures cars.

They have their base parts supplied by Porsche and then they proceed to construct them with those parts as well as their own.

That's why a RUF is NOT a Porsche.

there's nothing wrong with farming................

 

[lesofprimus]

To a farmer theres nothing wrong with being one... To a upper-middle class suburbanite, I'd rather have bamboo shoots jammed under my fingernails.....

 

[cheddar cheese]

[GermansRGeniuses]

Yeah, me too!

That is one nice rubber burning, gas consuming, wheelie popping beast!!!

 

[lesofprimus]

Ty Ty.... Next to my son, its my pride and joy....

 

[cheddar cheese]

No No, In my life, the car would come first In a literal sense it would be the other way round though...

GrG, it wouldnt be able to pull a wheelie the weight over the front wheels is too great, Hemi's weigh rather a lot you know...

 

[lesofprimus]

I've never been able to pop a wheelie in it....
