I agree, those seats are cool but rest of the bits (especially the center console) are bad. But I'd tolerate them if I had those friggin' flares!

I love the color coded green lock that is being cut off in the first photo. A hint of green things to come. Awesome machine. Thanks for the photos.

This is one AWESOME car, not the color combo I would have chosen but unbelievable nonetheless. This is certainly one car where the clear side markers make a HUGE difference.

RUF hauler - I could never do your job, I'd probably be fired on my first day. Nobody would be able to find me because I'd always be out TEST DRIVING the cars.

You would not have to have all the green details inside, nor would you have to have the green wheels. You can have it built understated with few options and maybe it would be a little less.

Jeff (Icon) call Hans Hoffman at 888-783-6872. I have Wayne Corleys mobile phone number of you want to pm me.

Are you guys (with an RS allocation) going to get same door panel? Those are pretty simple just like the in the early days.

I am...didn't order the full leather option, so I guess the door panels will look plain and simple.

when racing in dry weather, remove the rubber sealing strips, it makes the interior much cooler. But do remember to re-install them when it is wet.

Its not really suitable for street cars, apart from not having a window winder mechanism - you just remove the window in the pits. It doesn't have any side intrusion protection as the car has a full race rollcasge with side proterction, street car roll cages tend not to have this.

Ruf does have a lightweight door with side protection as an option.
