Ruf know how to build an engine; it is by far more powerful then any of the competitors, and available in AWD... the S7 is not the twin turbo

Nice and interesting so see the RUF and Saleen being set up against the SLR and Lambo!

That RUF is one serious car!

Interesting read (even if a little complex, the translated german ;)) - I have sat in and been a passenger in the SLR for a short drive... and always thought it may be "more car" than the RT12 as it is very exotic looking and feeling... and especially after having spent a day with the RT12 on the orad and race track it still seemed very purposeful and business like (almost, but not quite boring in appointment and detail) - btu to read that in a head to head with the SLR, LP and event the Saleen that the RT12 totally kicks arse is great.

Cause thats how the car felt after "getting used" to it - it always seems to have more left to give... more acceleration, more braking, more grip, more stopping power - if you are willing to keep pushing.

But not being a pro, it was hard to tell if I was getting the right messages from the car - and it seems I was.

Now I am 110% sold on the RT12 being the ultimate road car, bar none. Period.

Usable, comfortabe, practicle and about the quickest thing around. Think of it as the Z06 of Uber-Cars ;)

I will have one one day - yes I will ;)

p.s. When they say 0-300kmh in 25s or so, they are not exaggerating.. let's just say pulling 10 car lenghts on "YellowBird" after 30 seconds flat out on the freeway is not impossible ;)

Did I mention I love that car? :P
