For those of you who can get it, buy this weeks Autocar magazine. They have done their annual 0 - 100 - 0 challenge and have various porsches in the line up. The best bit is they have figured a an original RUF CTR. 0 - 100 mph in less than 7 seconds, from memory it matched the Ferrari Enzo !! The only area that let it down a bit was the braking, otherwise it would have been challenging the Caterham R500 evo !!!!

I was lucky enough to have a ride in one a few years ago, when I used to have my 3.2 Carrera serviced by RUF in Weybridge. It was *%@"ing quick.

Hope you enjoy the article, even though there are no 964's present.
