Ruf ctr-2
I'm surprised no one has commented on the Ruf CTR-2 that sold on ebay for $96,100. More than I would (could) pay, but a pretty steep price drop considering they are $280,000 new. I really like the way the rear opens and the intercooler location is interesting.
Nice car.

Anyone know If running two separate and smaller I/Cs as RUF does improve the cooling vs a stock one? I guess it should if they do it, however I cannot seem to understand how unless there is some kind of ram charge effect and ducts blowing more air on the cores. What exactly is that piece sitting on top of the TB and how does it operate?
I Might consider doing something similar since I am changing the rear quarters and tail. I also have the same RUF bumpers but I was going to change them for a GT2 look.
Thanks

Awesome ride! I'd much rather spend $96k on this one than for example used 996 TT.
Jean,
That piece is air intake and yes, that spoiler directs are into the I/Cs where air then gets out through those vent on rear bumper.
996 TT has similar I/C set-up btw.

FF,
Thanks for your input, I wish I could find a diagram somewhere to see the whole setup.
Piece of art, the red intake manifolds, are stunning, they must be aluminum rather than the stock plastic ones, although plastic flows better..
This car has one lucky owner who should drive it with the rear lid open!
Thanks for posting it Greg.

Correction, I forgot it is a N/A conversion hence the aluminum manifolds and narrow body for better top speed. I guess they must be extrude honed at a minimum..

For $96 I would have found some way to buy it

This or a 996TT? would not trade it even for a GT2 or GT3 unless it is only intended for track usage. This is unique.

Just kidding!
Unfortunately, I don't have this kind of money laying around, just wanted some of you guys to spill your coffee on the keyboard (I hope Kim doesn't choke on his donut thoug)!
