Hugo, I found on trips more then one hour my back was on fire from those seats, same experience for you ever?

 

no never, same for me with the Ferrari seats and the sls, better than the comfort seats

 

Hmmm, the lack of lower lumbar support kills a herniated disc I live with in my lower I guess that's why for me.

 

That is too true!

 

Although I could not agree more, I believe the only yellowbird with the ducts is Alois Ruf's personal vehicle. The remaining 28 do not have the ducts. Gosh that car is scary especially on a wet day at the Ring! Lol

 

I think they purchase the shell from Porsche but everything else is all Ruf. Some cars like the CTR3 is all Ruf. I think a few years ago Porsche threatened them with a lawsuit butni don't know the background.

 

love it!

but then, i'm obviously biased...




back in '06, at the 'Ring, before shipping her home


this one zapped by a highway patrol radar gun. doh!!!
(obviously in kmh!!!)

 

^ That's insane! Was it on a restricted stretch of the 'bahn? If so what happened with the police?

 

it wasn't in Germany!

long story short... new highway... highway patrol have new radar guns (big deal in a banana republic)... some phone calls later and a deal is made:

the coppers get to test out their new toys... and we get to test out our toys. someone gets "caught" (wink-wink nudge-nudge). the po-po get their picture taken with the cars... and everyone goes home happy!

(the cops radio'd ahead to make sure the highway was clear, or just about. i think i only saw 2 other cars in front of me the entire run)

 

That's just a tiny bit faster than how fast we went in a rTurbo. 213 mph. The feeling that one gets at those speeds is an absolute sense of surrealism.
