550 conversion, exhaust, ECU, air filter, clutch, LWFW, Damptronic coilovers with rear sway bar, forged wheels, carbon fiber decklid and carbon fiber wing.

You forgot to mention the wheels - they look great!

Thanks guys!

Forgot about the wheels...forged wheels custom painted. I love'em...

I think this is the closest I'll ever be able to get to a Ruf...maybe I'll be able to afford an RT12 some day.

I took an RT12 price sheet and configured my dream car - it looked OK in Euro's then I converted to $'s - you'll really appreciate your RUF conversion now.

I decided WTF I'm gonna get their exhaust and be done with it!!

Thinking about this car. Does anyone know this car? I don't know anything about RUF. Am I in over my head. Is maintenance going to be wickedly expensive. I don't mind spending 50k for a cool car but I don't want to get stuck with another 50k of maintenance bill.

Where can I get this car service? At the dealer? At any porsche shop???

Thanks

I think you are a little confused. The 550 is a tuning package for the 997TT...it's not a car.

Maintenance is no different than a 997TT. The total cost is about $20K for the tuning package + the cost of a 997TT (at least $70K used, $130K new.)

The car can be serviced by any dealer service department or independent shop.

I don't about you but i wouldn't trust just "any dealer service department or independent shop" with my RUFs,mine go to RUF !

Well, in the US, my one and only Ruf dealership is 1100 miles away...I'm not shipping my car there for an oil change. Any dealership should be able to handle a conversion. If I had your CTR3, then of course I'd send it for service.
