Starter topic for the new CSL section - CSL Verses GT3

[m12_nathan]

As seems tradional in either CSL or Porsche forums we should have this topic

[markxw]

Or how about CSL and Elise - two for the price of one GT3?

Well i got one instead of a GT3!

Still want a GT3 though

[m3desmo]

I have the CSL, but have to admit to a desire to also own a MK2 GT3. Not as practical as the CSL though. Maybe I'll end up keeping the CSL and getting a GT3 too!

I'll have a 997 turbo with higher torque option ticked if anyone's buying.

The GT3(996) is a fab car, had many fun tussles with them especially round the ring. I've heard the GT3 is a harder car to drive when really pushing on, the CSL is a pussy cat IMO and if all the suspension/camber etc.. is tuned its bliss. From what I have read the new 997 is phenominal and definately a lot quicker than a standard CSL and depending who is piloting I suspect a "tuned" CSL.

The bottom line for me after nearly 3 years is the CSL ticks every single box.
1. Handling
2. Performance
3. Noise
4 Practicality......ehhh? I can get my BBS track wheels/cups, luggage for 2 and a small passenger to the ring and back in comfort.
5. Looks. Mine is SB with all the tweaks, I still cant stop drooling over it!!!

So.....what car next? we all probably in same boat with that one, If we had 95k would it be a 997 RS in orange/black?

Where DO you go from a CSL without huge outlay? Good point.


Erm used 996 turbo? Used M5 V10? Used TVR Sagaris?
