This month in European Car....

Ruf Cayman RSCoupe

They unfortunately are only building 49 of these....

Why?

They should build 10,000 so the price goes to something i can afford when they are 8 or 9 years old.

Geez!

That back window is sort of stupid, will be an aero faux pas, looks sharp though

yet another failed attempt to dublicate the side intakes of the original Boxster prototype/showcar

Put it down if you want, but I would trade all my cars, my truck, my wife and the kids, heck I'd even throw in the dog for one.

my favorite feature of the car is the changed rear hatch to give it sail panels...i think the cayman should have been like that originally

I'll take a stock Cayman.

I was talking to several vendors at the SEMA show about the Cayman, we all seem to agree that it will out sell and done right out perform the mighty 911.

Brenda wants a Cayenne for the family, but I would be willing to buy a Yukon or something and pick up a Cayman S for fun... How can I do this... Nah.

Am working on an article right now for those with a Boxster to add a hard top that will give it the Cayman coupe look. Will be out in the next issue around the first of December.

Looking forward to working on them in ~5 years.

Really?

It's just a car bro. Don't get so excited about what you read.

I personally won't give up on my 30+ year old car that can still put most of the newer bling cars to shame. Yes, I said it "bling cars".

Mine is paid for and I wouldn't loose too much sleep if I were to wad it up someday at the track.

Your DISGustang probably has more power and is a convertable to boot.

indeed, the cobra dyno'd at 451 rwhp and that comes out to about 535 at the flywheel.

it goes sideways down a city street. That is really cool.

okay, so if I keep my 914, the cobra, the truck and the dog and

just trade the wife and kids for one would that be too much to give....


hmmmm

I think I just came.....
I love it. Sucker looks wicked.

Man, I would give my left nut for one of those --

Oh wait! hehe I already did for most of the parts on my teener ----

Well, lets see, I am 35 now, can't see me raising a rugrat at 50 ---

OK!! done deal, I will sacrifice the remaining one!

I hear Brittany may be looking for a new boy toy. Perhaps you could be so lucky to be kept by her and you would get your very own RUF Cayman RS Coupe (it would probably be hers, but what the hell).

Just a thought.

Posted by: Randal Nov 9 2006, 11:16 AM
