Thoughts? "It's a 996 GT3..."
It does look a nice one though...!

I keep looking at these........but then the voice in my head keeps saying....
1. I've really only driven the CSL at 5/10ths and there is plenty to "discover" still...
2. IMO CSL's are WAY cooler than GT3's, though I accept it is widely acknowledged that the Porsche is the better car...
(sit tight, learn how to drive properly and maybe RS in a couple of years)

Much like you are thinking, I only sold the CSL because I had driven the CSL 100% of my ability, next step was the barriers:hahaha:.
It was and always will be the best car I have ever owned,
Drive it to its full potential then move on, GT3 IMO is the logical step.
RS, IMO is not worth the extra outlay, you will be nearly as quick in a normal GT3.
Keep the CSL, get more to the 10/10 stage, then the 997 GT3 will have shed some more value?

996 GT3 will no doubt pose bigger potential repair bills.
I'd rather plump for a 997 GT3 personally :thumbs:

Lovely looking car, i've always had a soft spot for GT3's however, are they really worth 10k on a good CSL? I'm not so sure.
Personally, i'd wait and get a 997 GT3 in the future, the 996 looks a little dated now imho of course.
Still a fantastic car, and i'm sure it would be lovely to wake up and get one out of the garage in the morning :thumbs:

Unless you live on a racetrack, I'm not sure the GT3 is worth the additional outlay. They're horrible road cars frankly, unless of course the road is billiard table smooth.
Running costs are also in a different league.
Still loved mine, but I'm fairly certain I love the CSL more.

Speaking as an ex wanker myself of course ;)
However, the Porsche forums generally are all full of c--ts with a few exceptions. I remember asking a question about mine and basicaly being told that I 'didn't deserve to own a Porsche' :smt090 :birdman:
BMW owners are a much friendlier bunch.

Only if your M3 is <= E46. Nearly always exchange a wave, :thumbs: or headlight flash with them, but I find the E9x crew seem to just blank you

I agree.
The E30 lot is also OK.

I agree with the guys Yanto, you have many good times ahead of you in your CSL.
Hold tight and enjoy the ride for a while longer :thumbs:

Lovely car, and a good investment possibly, but I'll send you a copy of the review that said the CSL was 90% of the car for 50% of the money (Autocar admittedly) ;-) [it's now around 30% of the money - and that's prob a high miler CS!]
