CSL's natural competition

Is what, would you say?
A question asked on New Year's Eve which few present could answer.
Or is it unique?

Over to you sobering up souls.

So we are looking for cars which don't cost the earth, are very fast, yet useable on a regular (if not everyday, all day) basis, reliable, quick and nimble.

Mitsubishi Evolution FQ360 is one candidate. Drove one last week and was very impressed. Huge mid-range shove and fantastic grip and handling.

Image is irrelevant. BMWs have got a dire image in some quarters.

The wheels on the Evo 360 are lightweight 17" Speedlines and good enough. They weigh less than the 19s on my car.

All that has been said is correct.

Is the only logical conclusion that nice ones must start increasing in value ?

Has this ever happened before to a production car (Sporting version of a mass produced production car)?
I think the CSL will contine to depreciate for some time yet.
Sub £30K cars are rare at the moment when openly advertised, but some BMW dealers are alredy offering under £25K for PX at 30K miles.
I don't think the CSL will bottom out until it is down to £15K and this will be a few years away yet.
Weren't E30 M3's originally around £30K new back in the 1980's. Nice examples of these are only making £10K

Rarity and ability will keep the CSL values high.
