Default RUF 550 997tt as fast as a 997 GT2

quoted from RC at Rennteam

Not a test but a real life experience:

997 Turbo RUF 550 vs. 997 GT2
almost head to head acceleration with a little gain (third of a car length) for the 997 Turbo up to 200 kph, status quo up to around 290 kph with a tiny closing in of the GT2 by around one meter or so up to 320 kph. All kph values are SPEEDO values, not real speed values.

Meaning: there is no difference in acceleration between both. Pretty impressive. 997 Turbo Ruf 550 was Tiptronic.

If we're lucky, I may post some pictures next week (weather depending).

Might have to check out the ruf550 upgrade...I get my car back today after round 1 of upgrades. I put on the techart lowering springs, ssk, fabspeed powdered coated tips, and painted the wheels black.
