ruf is an unknown quantity at this point
Back when I was a punk college kid, I came up to a stoplight heel-toe-ing into second then first behind an 850csi. I guess I spooked him because he took off like a bat out of hell. No tire squeal, no exhaust note, just ridiculous acceleration. Looked like it was being towed on a rubber band. Most reviews describe the engine as locomotive-like, it just keeps on pulling. The 850 engine is the basis of the engine in the McLaren F1 supercar.
