I think he likes it... :smokin:

[Trawler]

But still prefers the new gt3.

but how can it lap the N ring 10 seconds faster then the csl? they have almost the exact same spec, weight too. someone explain :banghead:

More modern tyres and suspension technology. Lower COG as well, I reckon. Mid engined set up is usually faster too.

Nice bit of kit :thumbs:

Because it's a much better car?

Just because a car has the same power and weight does not equate to equal track times. Maybe similar accelerating times.

I just wish they did the gt4 in pdk!

[glendog74]

But still prefers the new gt3.

Well of course he would... At twice the price too!

[glendog74]

+1 :whistle:

But look how he was raving about having a gear stick & clutch pedal. Obviously flappy paddles do not spoil the fun.

you are right. guess im too obsessed with the csl, but 10 seconds wow

The CSL underneath is hardly any different to a stsndard m3:
Whereas the GT4 is half gt3 and half custom to gt4.

Bmw did a fantastic job with the e46 chassis, no doubt.

Brakes - well not just brakes, COG, gear ratios perhaps but most CSLers swap out the standards for more substatial . . . substancial . . . errrrr . . . bigger brakes pretty quickly.

no audio options? You have almost everything else....

how do you feel about tracking the PCCBs?

[Loaded]

Yes, i will leave the audio stock from Porsche. About the PCCB, from my previous experience with this kind of brakes i can tell you that it needs the proper temperature to work. I can't say
that there are the best solution for street use though. I want the Cayman for track use only although i've heard something about an upcoming version of it for the track, the cup version. I will have to make a decision soon!
