I thought they didn't modify 944/951/968 cars? Maybe just some quick tune-ups by the pros? In one of the images there is a 944 with turbo twists and the camber looks REALLY off, maybe even broken? He has a RMB too from the looks of it. That must be loud!

Thought I would share. You are welcome Doug for the ece bump!

Here is a pic of the 944

well, they service cars, they set up race cars, and there was even a watercooler get together at the RUF in dallas not too long ago - their business is not 100% 911TT conversions

that grey 951 on the lift is interesting; I actually saw it and talked to the owner briefly this summer out at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson for a bmw cca event - its a pretty nice car; I wonder if the owner is a 'lister...

quite possible one of those belongs to a tech, however I am no longer able to focus after the pic of the RT12.

Love the picture of the older (964) 930. The fender flares on that thing are awesome!

Bob M. at RUF in Tx setup a 924s for Gateway Racing which runs 20+ Hour enduros. The car is also now equipped with our Wilwood brakes up front.

Tell it like it is John!
TD speaks the truth! Hauns, Bob, and all the guys at Ruf have always given me the time of day and help me set the watch as well.

aeronautica86 951 = 944 turbo

Some more info? Perhaps about engine (obviously) and especially drivetrain (trans, drive-shafts etc) ?
