Wow, all the top tier places got hit hard in the economy. Seems the only ones really doing well are the guys putting 24s on escalades.
GL to RAC nonetheless.

RAC is a great group of guys, I am sure they will continue to do well with the other Tuner companies they represent.

This makes, by my count, the 5th US/Canadian RUF approved center/dealer to opt out of carrying the line after a few years of doing so.
RUF offers excellent products and Automobiles but I think some of their competition is a little more business friendly.

Wayne and Hans are the best. I have done several cars through them, including a Turbo R conversion. They are working on my new Turbo now. The fact RUF is no longer a product option doesnt sway me in the least on sending new or older porsches to them. Wouldnt trust anyone else with my cars.
