Read evidence and context
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.
Discussions that contain suggestions

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suggestion
The 996.2 RGTs run close to $100k if I recall correctly.
Leading evidence: 'Run close' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run close' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

They did! It was labeled RGT and was based off the GT3. Lots of goodies on the car including upgraded camshaft and exhaust; it hit about 380HP and had a top speed of 190MPH. It came in RWD but there was an option to AWD as well.
They offered both FI and NA version 996 including a m96 based supercharger version.
Models offered were:
RTurbo
RGT-RS
RGT
RKompressor
There's a member here that has a genuine yellow 996 RGT. He's posted in the pic threads a couple times.
I was thinking if RUF every modified a regular 3.4 or 3.6 NA 996 motor.
If so did they address some of the 996 early issues or have similar issues in there modified cars.
Ruf did have a boxster where they put the 911 3.4 and later 3.6 and called them 3400S and 3600S respectively. I'm not sure what, if any, parts of the engine internals have been modified.
Here are some pics of mine.
I agree, but they would have to have been able to first identify potential problem parts on a very new engine.
On the rgt, they seems to have addressed some of the issues later discovered with the fuel pump and the rubber lines. Mine have all braided lines from factory. They however did not identify the coolant fittings issue from factory so I had that done last year as preventative maintenance. They also didn't realize the Porsche lsd would not hold up so i now have a guards.
No, they tried to partner with us back in 2007, we decided to build our own brand rather than coupling with them.
The cars they built generally had engine conversions with larger stock engines. I have 3400S Boxster here now with a failed 3.4 engine. The car is very well built, but it had a factory reman 3.4 996 engine installed that made it 49K miles before failing under the original owner.
The M97 is roughly the same power plant, different designation, some of the old problems and some new ones. They did not want to delve into the development of the engine internals, and thats what we do.
I learned long ago that the one ship that will not float, is a partnership.
Wondering if there are any real RUF 996�s for sale. Seams to be people keep them and rarely ever sell them. I�ve seen a couple RGT�s pop up on eBay but never a real Rturbo.

There was a 996.1 RGT for sale when I bought my 996, it was orange x burgundy for $56k. The 996.2 RGTs run close to $100k if I recall correctly. There were around 27 996.1 RGTs sent to the US*, so they don't pop up all that often.
Man I looked at that 3400S for a few minutes and I think it's going to take me a few minutes more to stand out of my chair. My knees feel weak. I wonder what they're asking for it? I know...
if you gotta ask.
That's my uncle's car. I got to drive it around rural VT for a weekend a couple years ago. Just an amazing car and it's the car that got me to buy my 996.
