Another poster was asking where one goes after an M3 CSL and it got me thinking.

When you sell YOUR CSL, what do you invisage yourself getting?
What car would be a logical (or even illogical) choice next?

I was thinking in terms of a 4.5 Cerbera, or perhaps an EVO X when it appears. Maybe a used 996 turbo or even something like an Audi RS4.

Thoughts on cars post-CSL?

99% of my car use is on the road though. I am not really talking about race track use.
I have a Westfield V8 for track days.

Talking as a road car what would be good next?
I liked the Vauxhall Monaros i had, a 5.7 and a 6.0 VXR, so one possibility is another big American V8 and the new 7011cc Corvette looks, sounds, handles, stops and goes great. So that's a possibility.

Mapped 335i per chance, if someone wants something softer but very fast and capable?

I drove the new Corvette in California in November. Very impressive i have to say.

Maybe what's best is a car for the road and another one for the track, then no compromises need take place or at least far fewer. Even cars like a CSL are highly compromised compared to a proper racing car.
I just bought a Westfield Seight for my trackday fun this year, leaving the CSL and whatever thereafter replaces it to do the road yards.
Westy = 210 bhp. 230 lbs-ft. 595kgs. Should be quick!

I'm about to sell my CSL (couldn't resist a decent offer). Considering 997 GT3 Clubsport as the only car in the current production lineup that would fill its shoes IMO.


What did you get for your CSL and how many miles did it have on it?
