Default Bugatti Veyron 16.4 v RUF 911 Yellow Bird

funny to see how badly a car that traps 133+ in the 1/4 gets whooped by lol...


http://videos.streetfire.net/video/a...d200ad455d.htm

here's some info on the RUF, so you see it should be a good race against anything streetable, hell it runs over 210mph!!!

Model Ruf 911 CTR (Yellow Bird)
Years of production started 1987
Layout Rear-engine, Rwd.
Engine Flat-6, sohc, 2v/cyl, twin-turbo.
Capacity 3.4 litres
Power 469 hp
Torque 457 lbft
Gearbox 5M
Weight N/A
Top speed 210.7 mph*
0-60 mph 4.0 sec*
0-100 mph 7.3 sec*
1/4 mile 11.7 sec* / 133.5 mph*
*R&T87'
Porsche 911 was one of the favourites to car-tuners. Among all tuners, Ruf could be described as the "specialist among specialists". Alois Ruf created the "Yellow Bird", Ruf 911 CTR, which stunned the world in the supercar contest held by Road & Track in 1987.

R&T gathered 8 of the fastest production cars then - Ferrari 288GTO, Testarossa, Lamborghini Countach QV, Isdera Imperator 108i, AMG 560E, Porsche 959 Sport and 959 Comfort; and three highly-tuned Porsche 911 turbos from Ruf, RS Tuning and Koenig. They were tested in the Volkswagen Ehra-Lessien high-speed test track. At the end of the day, the Ruf 911 CTR beat all other supercars in top speed by recorded an astonishing 210.7 mph two-way average. It became the fastest road car in the world !

Suprisingly, Ruf based his car on the narrow-track 911 Carrera body, its lower drag might be the key factor to its record-breaking top speed. The engine came from the 911 turbo, with slightly larger capacity, twin-turbo instead of single, higher boost and bigger intercooler, power rose from 300 hp to 469 hp, even more than the 959. The engine drove a Ruf-made 5-speed transmission (in then the 911 turbo had only 4 speeds) and then 4 sets of 17in wheels wearing Dunlop D40 tyres originally developed for the 959. Brakes also came from Ruf itself.

I cannot quite understand why the Yellow Bird could be that fast. Compare it with 959 and you will understand my mistery - Yellow Bird was obviously less aerodynamic-efficient than the 959's 0.32 Cd, while its power advantage was only 19 hp, I can hardly see why it could be 13.7 mph faster. Because of taller gearing ? Unlikely, because the 959 had the additional 6th ratio. No one knows what magic Alois Ruf did in his car.

who knows, but I know this.. I had a Magazine back in the late 80's that had 3 RUF's in it as well as the AMG Hammer, a Koenig Ferrari Turbo, etc. that was an all out performance challenge, including top speed and the RUF's were all 210+ one even hitting 230, I highly doubt they only pushed out "450hp"..

check this list out.. quickest 0-60's on record in any Mag.. wish it had the 1/4's too!

" 2.7 2000 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Concept [7] "

HMMMM with all these high priced cars in this line up I think it is funny that a Camaro is even mentioned. Granted it's a ZL1 but still. Back in 96 the ZL1 prototype which then became the SS and was given a different powerplant smoked the Mcclaren and Hennessey Viper. I think it did 0-60 mph in 2.3 seconds, ran the 1/4 around 9.5 and had a top speed of 230 mph.

Was that the sweet black Camaro that they put like a 572 in? I wanted one of those so bad.

Does it seem odd to anyone that the Veyron doesn't appear to have any traction problems?

Can I put $900,000 into my terminator or an LS1 and race those? Bet i know who wins.

Nice cars, though. I'd definitely be out of place driving one of those.

oh damn, that's some fast crap. I seen some reviews on both before. Both quick no doubt.

Be nice to have a million to buy one of those babies. Point is, some people have enough money to buy it, when you make that kind of cheese, a million bucks is pocket change when you make 10+ a year, rofl.

What does the Bugatti trap in the 1/4? I thought I read it was around 140mph. Wicked fast.
