ich meine is jetzt eine auslegungssache, aber "wir" sprechen "RUF" eher kurz, also nicht so mit zwei "oo" respektive "uu" von der betonung her, eher ein kuzes "u"...!???

ah...scheiß an... :lol:

Ist aber meiner Meinung nach die beste Möglichkeit es den anderen hier zu erklären... :wink:

there was a tuner featured in Car n Driver a while ago called Roost. they supposedly tuned a Turbo to get to 0-60 in 2.9 sec...enzo speed..cool thing too look at except the price

2.9 seconds omg that is fuckin amazing...would blow all the cars away...but the price would be amazingly high im presuming

Done. He's put a deposit down with Porsche for a 911 Turbo and a deposit with RUF for the R Turbo conversion... He's getting a special paint job at an absolutely eye-watering cost... :shock:

It's 630bhp, (same spec as Alois' own car) but i forgot if it's RWD orAWD. Can get more details tomorrow if people are interested...

From the 'Faszination On The Nurburgring' video by RUF, the narrator definately pernounces RUF as 'Roof' (bit like Kanga-ROO) :D

zmydust823 09-24-2004 03:00 AM

im kind of at a loss here ..i think in england porsche is called RUF but in germany and in europe all as whole do they call it RUF, or just porsche...
