    either way you can apprentice in one of em or start your own aftermarket company. personally the imports are where the money is. if i had a chance i would have wanted to start hamann, ac schnitzer or even brabus. i love euro cars!

    I would love to know myself! But always remember CR is just a calculation cylinder pressure is whats important.

Deffinatly a sweet ride look for it in the pump gas drags coverage in an upcoming hotrod magazine.

    I screwed up. I meant the post to say "worlds Greatest sports car". I almost got a perferct all around score. Jcstomper is correct. Ruf actually has his own VIN #'s. and he is VERY conservative with his HP. The fastest all round car (blows the doors off the MClaren) is the Porsche Dauer 962 top speed (and yes it is street legal) 0-60 2.6, top speed 253, and quarter mile in a little over 7 seconds....truly an amazing car

    http://www.ruf-automobile.de/


    and as for top speed there's no way that 212 is fast enought to get that title. the old mccaren hits 232 mph and thats cause it runs out of gearing. they could change the gearing and it can go even further. but of coarse that car isnt legal in the USA. and then of coarse it isnt the fastest either, the vector is
    i love RUF, but this car absolutly SH-TS on any RUF

    check this out: http://www.chem.ucla.edu/~na/mclaren.html
    The McLaren F1 is probably the most exotic of the exotics, and definitely one of the best looking. Contrary to popular belief, it does not have the top speed of the street legal production cars, sinc the Vector Avtech takes that honor at 249 MPH. However, with an incredible 0-60 time of just 3.4 seconds, it's definitely one of the fastest off the line. There are only a handful of these made each year, which is just as well, since with a price tag of $1,000,000 only a few people in the world can afford it. Currently there are only 7 in the U.S., and Ralph Lauren owns two of them, one of which he is selling. Anyone buyers? Another one is owned by a visitor name Justin and his father, who is an avid collector of exotics and classics, who I would love to becomes friends with! Can I have a ride? The most incredible stat about the McLaren F1 is that it accelerates from 0-150 mph in 12.8 seconds, or just slightly longer than the 911 takes to reach 100 mph! The F1 LM, or the Le Mans version, is the racing version of this fine automobile. According to a visitor name Chris, only 5 of these beauties were ever built, and all of them have already been bought, even with a price tag of well over $1M! The year F1 debuted it won every race it entered except for one (again, thanks to Chris for this info). The car is made of all carbon fibers and the door swing up and out, similar to the Lamborghini Countach. Definitely the crown jewel of any collection.
