What a fabulous car. I was lucky enough to see it in person (both a couple of years ago and a couple of weeks ago). Mike Schatz drove this back-to-back with a CGT, and said this car was just about as fast. Georgous condition. Amazing mods. Oh... the Ruf magnesium wheels are about $8000 lighter than the aluminums.

BTW...Thank you Steve Michaelson (ca993twin) for the traveling photos!

Here is the front. If you look at the second photo it will show a close up of the functional brake cooling Techart ducts as they come into the inner fender.

Oh damn! Sweet. Do I have to be a responsible adult, why can't I buy a car like that? Love them RUF wheels no matter how many years they've been out.

98993c2s It is an early version (so I have been told) Bilstein coilover but uses H&R springs. There might be some experts that can chime in. It rides much softer than the C4S with JIC's..

SC - I don't know the weight of the aluminum wheels. These are lightweight for 19's as they probably weigh about the same as 18" hollow spokes. With tires they are 41.6lbs. front and 45.8 rear. I would like to find out what the difference is between the aluminum and magnesium.

Love the brakes as well! Looks as though the front rotors are installed backwards unless Brembo asks for these to be installed that direction. May want to have a look at this.

The car looks to be very well kept and clean!! Keep the pics coming
