Awesome car, but was it just me or were both cars constantly fighting understeer... the car pushed every corner and when he got off the throttle the car swung around... I dont prefer those handling characteristics

If that was an AWD RT12 they are a little understeery on the entry, but its very progressive and controllable, and all you do is feed in the throttle and it does pull around and pulls like a locomotive on the exit.

I think he was also being a little flamboyant and was working the car for he camera.

The ruf are so well build and engineerd
And the most amazing thing is a proper ruf can keep up 99.9% of cars on the road and on the track.
They also have full interior no stripped interior.
And how erfortless a ruf drives.

Only because the Porsche underneath has improved so much.

We compared the AWD Yellowbird to the AWD RT12 back to back - 1993 vs 2006 cars both capable of the same astonishing feats.

The difference is that the 2006 car was as quiet and luxurious as a Caddy, while the 1993 car was a stripped interior, full bore race car for the streets - thats what advance in technology does for you.

The point I am making is that RUFs have become more refined over time only because the 911 platform has become faster yet more refined over time as well
