Tiptop Topcat said:I believe you will find that the 964 based 911 turbo was first launched with the 3.3 SE turbo engine producing 330bhp (I think) rather than the 300 bhp of the previous generation 930.
That was subsequnetly upgraded to a 3.6 turbo that seems to be referred to as the 965.
tonyp said:Thanks, the owner says its a 3.3 Ruf and has some history, but doesn't seem to know too much about cars! he says "Make me an offer" as he needs the space in his garage.
demonfish said:965 was the code give to the turbo 964...
so its a 964 turbo, but chassis numbers start 965...
Dave Wilkinson said:All 964s - whether n/a or turbo - had a 5 speed gearbox. There were none produced with 6 speed 'boxes although some have had 993 transmissions installed subsequently. I believe Ruf DID do a 6-speed 'box for the cars they converted but it wasn't mandatory.
The 993s certainly DID have 6-speed 'boxes from the start. I really don't know about the 928 although many of those were automatics anyway.
