Normally I like to squawk about "car tuners" getting manufacturer titles, but RUF definitely deserves it. They build some pretty wild cars.

The dry-sump 4-cam 4-valve-per-cylinder design produces 550 bhp at 8500 rpm along with 369 lb.-ft. of torque.

I'm surprised at the torque figure.... They need to turbo it or something!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

At least a normal 911 has a flat engine to lower the center of gravity and help offset it's horrible placement. I'd rather see a V8 Cayman converson.
