I hear alot about Gemballa, so i'll go with them... but I dont really have much experience or knowledge about Porsche tuners (or porsches in general) so its just from vids ive seen.

Gemballa is very high quality. (RUF is also, just not many in the US)

Ruf Cars look nice, but the fastest street legal car on the Nürburgring is the Gemballa Biturbo GTR600.

I like the RUF-tuned porsches most

I thought that record at the Nürburgring was broken by the Radical SR3?

I would definitly say RUF. Unlike other tuners like Techart which sends their engines for modification, RUF does the mods itself, and their cars are not just showcars, they are everyday use cars designed to be as reliable as a Porsche that comes right out of the factory. moreover Ruf has a long history in modifying porsches and Aloïs Ruf is world reckonned for its job: he doesn t anounce irrealistic performance numbers and allows sports car magazines to verify them...
PS: I don t work for Ruf, it s just a personal advice!

and it's based on the Boxter. too bad that only 3 are to be made...

Stola you say!? do you know who does their engines? no? Gemballa does! so that counts as another Gemballa vote

no but i agree on the stola when we are talking about styling! but that depends on wich model and so on!

BUT!

I think there is only ONE tuner who really tunes Porsches in the same spirit that Porsche themself build them!
RUF
They dont whant big BHP if they loose the low rev torque , like Gemballa biturbo on a boxster!
they dont just slap a couple of springs on it , they build themm from the ground up!
and they care about every single car that leaves there little factory!

it so beautiful...i am gonna cry.....
i gotta get a Boxster 3600!
