Car felt fantastic, though above 300kmh you do have to push the car, but it is nice to feel a considerable shove when you accelerate!

Much easier than the equivalent speed in the CTR,

all the best

Good to see sensible progress being made when safe. We need more of this sort of thing in the UK.

Nein herr daz just a speedo that massively over-reads in mph but is actually pretty accurate when we use it in kmh(the digital speedo was showing 314kmh at the time i believe).

I think i should send monbiot this pic, that would be fun

Ruf rules..

Ludicrous & jolly well done, there's frankly every need for this type of gratuitous speedolatory.

I particularly approve of such hurculean velocitities in these days of the troublesome 150mph everyman mobile from, well, frankly all the mass manufacturers.

This struck me earlier tonight when out clearing some errant carbon from a cylinder or eight.

At some lights, Dufus von Quioxte in the inevitable lowered Leon Sportiff was right up the ragged chuff, all the way up the doubly measured echelons and it wasn't until what seemed to be a new form of trialing autobahn beckoned forth that it became possible to properly spanka di oinko, as it were.

Hugely liberating once you're up through 160, what oh?

[mikial]

160 what Der,........... heart rate or pulse, or both?

[gunner]

not to hijack your thread Adam but can I ask whether you've driven the Ruf RGT RS and if so what you thought of it?

[adamt]

Been a passenger in one during its shakedown tests.

Was very impressed, especially by the lightness of the car. The suspension felt excellent also,

I also loved the instantaneous response from the NA engine, and how it just loved to rev.

Good car,

all the best

I'm sure a blat in the CTR would make up for it

[Adamt]

Of course, CTR is much quicker
