Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I have just returned from the Cotswolds having had the pleasure of my first ride (passenger) of a 993 Ruf conversion (I think it was the VTR).

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

Rufs are quite rare and usually very expensive, in comparison to normal Turbos. Search for 'ruf' in the Porsche section of www.mobile.de and see what comes up. You will find that a 993 Turbo offers 'adequate' performance with 408bhp and although RUF may arguably do the best conversions, there are other extremely able tuners able to liberate mega bhp from the 993tt. Derestrictor has one pushing out 490bhp currently, with more to come. The 'standard' 993 Turbo Ruf had a claimed 505bhp if I remember. A PHer sold a LHD 993TT Ruf earlier in the year - see Dr Alex's review in the Porsche section - for about 36k, which was a bargain as it was commanding no more than a standard 993tt. However, they are specialist cars and items like clutches can punish the wallet more than normal. I believe the aforementioned Ruf cost its owner a relative fortune given the miles travelled in it, so bear this in mind. Cheers Domster

POST 2Original post

A business associate is seriously into RUFs,they are astonishing cars but " good value"...er,no. >> Edited by alex33 on Tuesday 22 July 13:26

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

point taken re 'good value'. The car in question started life as a standard C4 before being sent to RUF. Not a cheap excersise but the owners estimate of it's second hand value got me thinking.

POST 4Original post

There is a difference between RUF conversions and RUF cars.The latter will obviously be more expensive.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have just returned from the Cotswolds having had the pleasure of my first ride (passenger) of a 993 Ruf conversion (I think it was the VTR). My guess is that these could rather be good value, especially if sourced from the continent. I would be quite happy with a left hooker. My current car is a Griffith which should be enough, but the Porker was truly fantastic. 1) What are we looking at for a 7-9 year old car? 2) Is it better than the standard turbo? 3) Anyone fancy a Griff? cheers Patrick
