Yumm P-head

if that is what RUF has in mind, then i think Porsche should seriously reconsider their GT line-up. Smack in the middle of the GT3 and GT2, this car should be able to give both a real tough time. BTW did u know, RUF is registered in Germany as a car manufacturer? Strange, since DC doesnt get that kind of recognition back home.

it's definitely going to give the GT3 a run for its money, the GT2 i'm not sure, especially since this year it gets a power hike to 483 bhp. but there is such a fine line between a car that makes 400 bhp and one that makes 450 and another one that makes 500 bhp. there is no way you can exploit the full potential unless on a race track, where i think the GT2, will kick some butt. especially with the PCCB. but then most people wouldn't mind going in for the RUF, i know i wouldn't. looks much better with the GT2 too. especially since it harks back to the Carrera RS, it automatically earns brownie points from me.

coming to RUF being a manufacturer, reminds me of the discussion i had with rehaan the other day, about tuners replacing the company monikers with their own. i support that, these international tuning companies put an amazing amount of work into their cars and deserve it. DC, well the lesser said the better.
