hehehe!

i thought about you when i was posting actually... i know the feeling

not sure what the writer was on about the groaning sound coming from the center diff... i never noticed anything of the sort with our car.

i'm wondering if HP and Stefan and all those journos flogging the blue factory car have taken their toll on the poor thing... i mean, that car has done way more than just a couple of autobahn runs!

I rode with Stafan Roser in about 1993 in Ruf Rwd turbo around a track,
quite an experience.

tires on car were "gone" in 2 hours.

is the zero to sixty time of 3.1 accurate? Because that is just rediculous.

i think the car in the video was AWD... i'm not sure, but i seem to remember either Mark or Alois saying it was that car, and indeed AWD...

but i'm not 100% sure!

hmm... that's inaccurate actually. Road & Track (together with Erik, I might add) got a GPS tested time of 3.2 seconds, and 11 secs dead @ 133mph.

I love this Rt12 some much, I'd fly Germany to RUF just to test one...

Congrats to both Hesperus and Leon for the cars.
