Very cool. How do Ferrari drivers act around the 8? Stereotypical snubs?

This guy is the guy who owns RUF AUTO CENTRE in dallas. He is an anasthesiologist, dont know how to spell it, and owns RUF for fun. He lives three doors down from me. I can get u guys some better pics if you want of the RGT3! Actually, the wing is badass. He doesnt track the car anymore due to the fact that he got a race ready 944. Anyone take a look at the other thread about the CTR3? its badass too!
=) alex
EDIT: those wheels fit on the 8 i think. pattern wise! :rock:

I think if some guy start whipping out his camera and point it at you, you would look too!! i'm always afraid to do it ( taking pictures of other's car while they are driving) because it seems.... illegal.
:dunno:

If that career lets me get that car, sure I'll pursue it.

JTtheDude 04-25-2007, 09:26 AM Makes sense he's a doc we figured that. there is an endoscopy office right behind us which is probably where he was at.

There were actually 4 Ferrari's we were cruising with. Only managed to get pics of the 3 red ones, there was a silver one but I forget which one. They all looked like they were corporate CEO's going for a drive. They weren't racing or even going fast.
eviltwinkie 04-25-2007, 10:10 AM Haa...as this past weekends HPDE a green Porsche GT3 (apparently the third on US shores) was there with the dealer paper plates STILL ON...
Talk about break-in period...

That pic is actually of Steve Bedor's race car. I tried to sit in it at Texas Motor Speedway once when he was racing the infield. Keep in mind im 6'8" and his doors are fixed. Ill try to get more pictures as soon as I can, but he is car getting more work done to it. Something is wrong with the exhaust and he wants the suspension a little tighter. He should have it back in a couple of weeks though. They have a new RGT that came to RUF a week ago. Imagine the same car, same wheels, but with light blue paint and no stickers. Now thats a show car that you could take to the track! check out the CTR3 btw. i think its even cooler. Its pretty much an extended cayman with a 3.8L engine. Oh yeah, the RGT in the pick has a 3.8 too. Dallas people, come to Texas Motorsports Ranch on weekends and you will se him. Hes fast!!!!!!
EDIT: for some reason i think Mark Plumber was racing the CTR2 sport that day. but it is Steve bedor's
EDIT2: steve bedor is in the pic too. hes driving it. IM GOING CRAZY!
Umbra 04-25-2007, 12:00 PM Unfortunately the current lambo's are butt ugly.

the first day I get the RX-8 i have this girl meet me at a restaurant...
we go outside to my car...to show her the new purchase and what is parked behind me
a fucking brand new Corvette
come on!
she really liked the 8 though and we chatted for awhile driving around aimlessly
so its all good
AND - yesterday at the gas station...a random girl came over and sparked up a convo asking "what kinda car is that"...talked for about 20 minutes at the pump
ended up exchanging numbers ....had to give the 8 a lil rub as I drove off
RX-8 - worth every penny

I watched a show where they dropped 2 turbos on one of these bad boys.. Was just insane..

BigRed 04-27-2007, 03:48 PM I think the ferrari red is usually a lighter more pale red. it still looks good though
fobjr101 04-27-2007, 05:23 PM Wow that green Porsche is so freaking nice. Ahhhh I want!!

That's sooooooo cool!
Which one of these is true?:
1. He's getting ready to pass you.
2. Your 8 makes about 400 hp.
3. You are the greatest driver on the planet :worship:
imput1234 04-27-2007, 08:26 PM The Ruf is awesome!!
I've had a couple of moments, no picture tho (don't carry camera on board).
Today, the light turns green and I take a left, 1/8th down the road and I see a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale going on the other lane, looked amazing, had white stripes running through the middle.
I was about to take an U-turn at the next intersection, but I see the Ferrari and then all of a sudden he was on the throttle it disappeared
About a week ago, I was at a Stop light and see a Lamborghini Gallardo, and an F430 flying past me.

The Challenge Stradale is an amazing car, and would smoke our 8's but in that pic, your 8 looks so much better!!!!
MissyK 04-27-2007, 09:59 PM hahaha I think its like "get the f*k out of my way"

Oh ... I thought it was from all the force caused by your cornering at super high speeds that pushed the track over and the fence was pushed along as well!
MissyK 04-27-2007, 10:08 PM bahaha I wish.........
Not sure which porschas these are, there were 2 GT3's there that day but I dont have any photos of them
