RUF's test driver's nickname is "sideways Stefan" and supposedly the car could only do four laps before one of the rear tires would blow!
Lets not forget this RUF yellow bird was teh first production car with: super low profile tires of 17's inches, 450 HP (& 2400lbs!!) and the first car with a production MT6! Boy how times have changed!

Absolutely love that video. The Yellow Bird is amazing and a death trap in its own right. Gotta love them running with zero safety gear on that vid! lol
