Great post I found

 

Amazing!!

 

wow i remember C&D did a article on the yellowbird back in the mid 80's

 

Wow the car looked like it was a handful to drive

 

my friend has an old yellow porsche back from the 1990s. straight mans car... no radio no nothing, except the lights and wipers.

 

Didn't they nicknamed that thing "The Widow-maker"? Beautiful!

 

The Porsche GT2 gets that name (someone correct me if I am wrong) b/c it gets more power than the Turbo but loses the AWD.

You're right. For some reasons every time I see pictures of the Yellow Bird I immediately think "Widow Maker".

 

Yes, I do believe the GT2 is called the "widow maker".

 

Or was it R&T?

either way, I cut out the pages with the RUF yellowbird and put them up in my room.

I read recently that the original RUF yellowbird was test-driven in San Francisco. Recently, as in the last 2 years.

 

yes excellance magazine had a big story on it, summing up saying even with all the new supercars, the Ruf yellowbird, still holds it's own.

 

Love the sounds from the in-car audio. Wicked driving, too.

 

The sound of those air-cooled engines wound-out is like nothing else.

Amazing white knuckle vid.

 

The guys on bikes have to be nuts with cars whizzing past.....that driver almost bought it a couple of times..classic.
