RUF 997 Turbo Conversion Test Drive...
By me! Well, kind of. I was a passenger going more than 250 km/h
. After that, I stopped looking at the speedo. I happen to get some videos of the crazy guy (Ruf employee) driving it too. The car is a 997 Turbo converted with some Ruf parts..ie the RT12 motor, etc. It has more than 600 hp and is the demo car for when customers are thinking about buying an RT12 or a Turbo conversion. The videos and pics were taken using my small and compact Canon SD750. I didnt have anything better to film it with
.
To start, let's see a pic of me in my Ruf overalls and a CTR3 Prototype
:

All the videos have the same title except for the last digit. There are six videos uploading and four have uploaded so far. The fourth will probably be available to watch soon.

Very cool. I'm jealous. The CTR3 your standing next too is sick. So where was this taking place, were you in Germany? I see where the Big Red name comes from, lol. My favorite RUF is still the CTR Yellow Bird.

I am working for Ruf in Pfaffenhausen, Germany (leaving thursday, got here two weeks ago). Anyways, I worked on 2 CTRs and 1 BTR, amongst a bunch of other new cars (RT12, RTurbo, RGT, Etc.)
