It is actually not as bad as you would think... in the right hands that is
We had a little rolling start race on the straight and WoW did that thing blow my 997tt to bits!!! We took the turn between 80-90km/h and as we straightened up both cars were pushed... and the YellowBird would not stop inching away

That's really impressive considering how old the car is. Credit to Ruf for taking an already awesome car and making it better!

Hi Gray TT,

Thank you so much for this..when I see and hear "RUF"..my Porche heart starts beating - much faster.

The yellowbird was/is a tremendous car..and this probably the most ultimate 911 driving ever - I havent driven one - but I can only imagine what it would be compared to a 991 for example.

Now my main question to you would be: since you also own a GT2RS - which one is more raw/fun to drive?

PS: My teenage dream was the RUF CTR2 - based on the 993. Accoring to me it also looks better..this is heaven..
