I got smoked in Wolf's SLK
Hi all,
I cannot believe I wouldn't play but I had a Porsche come up behind me on the 14 freeway today while driving the SLK that wanted to play a little
It being a holiday weekend and there being both drunks AND enchanced patrol presence I decided not to go more than the 80 I already was 
Well, he came up behind me then went next to me then would kinda get in front and then fall next but when he saw I wouldn't bite he just dusted me. I was going 80 and it looked like I was standing still! Not sure what kind of Porsche it was but it was older and had a big tail on the back and the letters RUF on the hood and side. Is that like Kleeman or something? Gorgeous car!

Holy Crap...if that is the car I am thinking of....that was a MONSTER.
I believe anywhere from 530-650hp of tire smoking... cornering on rail power.
Yikes.
It may still be new to most of us but it didn’t take tuner RUF long to tweak the latest 911 incarnation. The 2005 RUF Porsche Rt 12 Turbo 05 sports twin turbochargers that produce horsepower in the range of 650 and get the body amplified 911 to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds. There are three different turbo stages that also include 530 and 560 hp. But who wants to be in something with those puny numbers. Check out Serious Wheels for more wallpaper size images.

RUF is kindof like kleeman, but i would say they are more comprehensive. They do a lot of turbo upgrades, stylining, interiors, wheels, suspension (which come to think of it Kleeman does all those too), but RUF does turbo stuff for porsche like Kleeman does SC stuff for MB. They build FAST cars, incredible stuff. I remember hearing about 900+HP RUF cars, insane.

I would say it is either this or 1 generation earlier maybe. Hard to tell from a side photo and I am not great with Porsche to begin with. But it definately had RUF really big in front and side.

RUF is the best and most reputable Porsche tuner, is more like AMG
to Mercedes and Alphina to BMW...I beleive they are recognised as production manufactures (Porduce thier own model based on P cars)...
Very.... faaast...even old generation ones...Yellow Bird is Crazy one...modern Galliardo, Dodge Viper or 996 Techart 530HP can hang with it, when it runs full boost...

You need a S8 kit for you SLK then you have good chance...

This is exactly what it looked like right down to the color and writing on it. I googled Ruf Porsche last night and found this picture.
