OT: Ruf vs Farnbacher Loles
If you had a Cayman S or a Boxster S and you were going to do some mods...would you go with Ruf or Farnbacher Loles? If you selected Ruf would you go with the engine swap or Kompressor conversion? thank you in advance for your views...

Ruf or Franbacher Loles? If you have the budget to build a Ruf car than go that route. Remember a car with Ruf mods is highly regarded. Farnbarcher Loles builds some interesting stuff but they are no Ruf.

I'll paste my useless post from the cross thread...
Can't really help you but will put in 0.02, anyway. I think Nordschliefe has driven a SC 3.8, and that seems like the ultimate wet sump version. I assume either place will build what you want for $$, even if it's not listed on a website as an option. The recent thread about a turbo transformation (996tt motor, I think), and of course the occasional comment about a GT3 engine are most interesting to me, but noone seems to offer that - at least not obviously. All else being equal, I'd take a Cayman S with a GT3 engine it it, please.
Not that resale is really an issue with a modded car (mod=loss, usually), but RUF might hold value better than FL among general Pcar people. FL perhaps would do better among trackmeisters? I don't know.
Either way, a souped Cayman or Boxster would be a hell of a lot of fun!
Good luck, and let us know what you end up doing.
