GT2 vs R Turbo

[bimmerlover]

For some time now i have been curious which one is acually better for overall performance in everyday driving and on the track. I'll post stats from both of the cars and give reasons why you would have one over the other


Porsche GT2

Price: 180K USD
Engine: 3.6L Twin Turbo Flat 6
BHP: 462 @ 5700 RPM
Torque: 620 Nm
Layout: Rear Wheel Drive
Transmission: 6 speed Manual
Weight: 3,806 lbs

Top Speed: 196 MPH
0-60: 4.0 seconds
0-100: 8.5 seconds



Ruf R Turbo

Price: 182K USD (117K pounds)
Engine: 3.6L Twin Turbo Flat 6
BHP: 520 @ 6800 RPM
Torque: 720 Nm
Layout: All Wheel Drive or Rear Wheel Drive
Transmission: 6 speed Manual
Weight: 3,241 lbs

Top Speed: 213 MPH
0-60: 3.6
0-100: 7.9


So which one do you prefer?

[Sean M3]

DEFINITELY the RUF R Turbo. Look at the specs, it is almost 600 pounds lighter, 58 more hp, and 100 more ft. lbs. of torque. Also, it's faster

So basically, for almost the same price, the RUF R Turbo is a much better buy

The r turbo is only 2k more and has more power and less weight.
unless there is something i am missing, i would take the r turbo

Turbo R all the way!

where are you getting 3800lbs for the GT2? porsche.com says 1495kg, which ~3200, including 75kg worth of passenger/luggage

i think they must have tested it with two sumo wrestlers in the car.

Dude, you're a little mixed up. The GT2 goes 0-60 in 3.6-3.8. The TT goes 0-60 in 4-4.2.

Um, call me an idiot but the GT2 actually has an interior... the R Turbo is nothing more than two seats and a roll cage if I remember C&D correctly...

actually the standard RUF has a fairly supple interior, however, like the rest of the car, you can order it however you want. Hidden rollcages OWN

sfhighroller ,0-100 km/h (62 mph) 4.1 s taken directly from Porsches site. The reason I had to add this is because if you dont look at magazines times you will pretty much only see 0-60 times for Porsches at 4.0seconds. Ive noticed this for the past couple years, Porsche only puts out 4.0 but magazines will go lower. Aslo the older 993 Turbo S supposively did 0-60 in 3.6, and the 996 TT is faster then that so the times are easily in the 3s.

I'm guessing the reason why Porsche says 4.1 is so they're conservative and won't be sued for false claims. It's understandable.

[UrineMachine]

can't be sued for false claims... they note a professional driver and closed road. Therefore, they can use any natural occurence as a reason they shaved .1 sec... they do have to be able to replicate the times, but 1/10th a sec is like taking the spare out.

[sec edh]

The GT2 weighs about 3190 pounds owing to lack of front-wheel drive assembly. The R Turbo is simply a full-interior Carrera 4 (only narrow body, not the C4S) or 2 with twin turbos added, a new steering wheel, some metallic pedals, and an integrated roll cage (Excellence magazine).

I SAW THEM BOTH TONIGHT
My friends dad took his GT2 out, and I drove by a club and saw the one that was in the gumball.
