Anyone Know this Car? Black Porsche, tag is TURBO

Anyone know this car? Guy trash talking on another forum post claims a Black 700+ hp RUF. Note: Mass plate is TURBO, but he is from CT?

Years ago we used to have a guy named Taku Inoui (sp?) that ran a twin turbo Ruf. He got beat by a turbo Supra, sent the car back to Ruf for bigger turbo, larger flared fenders for bigger tires,etc. for $50,000 more. He and Rick Long's Cobra used to have some great battles.

Interesting. This guy (from bits and pcs I gleaned from his threads) is maybe italian, the car is black, Mass plate is TURBO, has the fender flares, etc. He (supposedly) has done all kinds of racing the past 30 years, about 55 yrs old. I invited him to join and come up to NHMS in April to show his stuff rather than be a poser in the forum. We'll see...... Just thought there was a wild chance someone would recognize the car.

Briefly, he had complained that his Mazda3 shuddered when trying to engage the clutch after installing some aftermarket motor mount. Then he flamed the guys who suggested he needed more practice and needed to learn how to slip the clutch a little. It went on from there........

No, or at least I don't beleive so.

I thought the same thing when I saw the name on the TV shortly after seeing him at COM events. From what I could discern the guy in COM was a guy going to school in the US.
