Thought the price was fair and if i had some more time and space to park it would explore... looks quite nice.

anyone in the texas area know the car?

Great looking, get some green gauges and confirm the intake and other RUF performance pieces.

Looks sharp! The GT2 nose is interesting. I wonder why they didn't do the RUF front fascia. The ad say it is and this is the infamous RAC that doesn't seem to know what this car is. Wow...

Regardless, The GT2 front aero is actually more expensive than the RUF setup. That being said, I think it's a relative value even if it's just a RUF Exhaust, RUF Spoiler, RUF wheels, RUF Shift, RUF mats, RUF pedals and GT2 bumper.

Looks like has the R turbo package and engine mods etc I believe plus some neat RUF parts. Like this so much more then a standard clean 996tt. Hoping the nose is genuine Porsche parts not aftermarket if it's not a RUF nose etc and would remove the high rear wing kit that looks like it has.

Very nice looking car. I think it's worth a look for anyone that might be considering purchasing a 6TT and adding these Ruf bits. If it's really got the R550 engine package even better. I wonder if the GT2 bumper is installed as a fully functioning conversion or if it's just the bumper cover?? Either way, interesting car.

Great car RAC wouldn't put a questionable car up for sale. This is a great deal for a well optioned monster.

Looking at the engine bay picture, it appears to have the Rturbo engine package. Could be the 520 or 550. One way to help answer the question is to have RAC take a picture of the RUF ECU for you. It should look like this and it will tell you what you have. It actually says it right on the ECU. The "program" # will end in a 520 or 550 depending on the Rturbo package.

It depends on which sales person is handling the sale. If it's a bad one, trust me, they would. This car does look like a good deal, but don't jump on it without going through it with a fine-tooth comb.

if it has the RUF power kit this is by far the most bad *** 996tt for sale right now in the 50-55k$$ range... assuming you appreciate RUF. If clean and good title car looks well modded and great color to boot....

That one is a WO9 vin and a RGT, much more rare than a the other cars listed above. To bad for that horrible color combo.

Still can't believe with a supposed 7 past owners no one knows that grey R turbo 996tt at RAC.

If I were in the market for a 996tt that car would be top of my list to explore no doubt...
