Er... actually its Hesperus... Hugo is from Romania I believe, i'm from S.E. Asia

and yeah... "Track Hos" it is... started out as "track bitch*s" several years ago since we try to find our way to the track at least once a month, but someone in the group came up with TrackHos and it sort of stuck...

Am I the only that finds the RT12 design to be significantly more elegant than the GT2? The GT2 so much more boy racer, not as refined. The cost of performance aside for the same money I'd way rather have the RUF look than the factory GT2. Still, stunning the both of them, thanks for posting.

Comparisons...

Our drive was mostly on open highways, no twisties to speak of, so I can only speak on straightline speed. No real surprises there, as we've all seen the 0-200kmh (125mph) and 0-300kmh (186mph) acceleration numbers of both cars, and with its HP advantage, the Ruf is obviously faster.

I'd expect that if things got twisty, the GT2 would have the advantage, as it's lighter, has firmer suspension, and much stickier rubber than the RT12. Again, we had no opportunity to test this.

What I did find interesting was how seeing the two cars side by side, reminded me of how the GT3 looks so much more "athletic" and "lithe" beside a Turbo. The GT2 beside the Ruf looks the more "athletic" of the two cars. Kind of like putting a middleweight beside a heavyweight. You know the heavyweight has a bigger knock-out punch, but the middleweight is more agile and mobile.

Gt2 looks fantastic in those last pics. Can someone please photo shop the side and rear shots with the lower side and rear black rubber skirts done in white? Many Thanks.
