That specific conversion has about 355 HP at the crank, so I don't think it could dyno at 373. Maybe 300 with a 15% powertrain loss figured in.

These conversions run well north of $25K by RUF.
Actually, this conversion runs just about exactly $25k.

Right, sorry for not being complete. The engine from intake to exhaust is $25K. The entire package is about $40k including suspension and body, give or take.

At PCA palooza this year RUF was of course there like every year. They were talking about a supercharged conversion that puts 440hp at the wheels. Wow, would that be fun!

The car above, that's a lot of money for a conversion. If it was a RUF factory built car, I could see that sort of change being dropped but, at the end of the day that's just a converted Porsche.

Wow, given all that was spent on that car it's amazing to me that they still didn't deamber the headlights or taillights - just the side markers... silly Rufians.

At $25K this car would be a steal.

At $35K this car would maybe be a fair deal.

At $45K this car is simply a stretch... too much coin for such a high mileage car

The owner of this car was asking quite a bit more for it a couple of years ago when the conversion was done. He's now moved on to a GT3 and I'm sure is anxious to unload it. Never was quite sure why he put it up for sale so soon after the conversion. RUF usually asks premium prices for the cars they have for sale. The folks there are super nice and will let you crawl all over the cars for sale and will take you for some spiritied test drives.
