Your looking at this the wrong way. The GTR is a absolutely fantastic car. And with the right exhaust it sounds like a jet taking off. It was built to be usable everyday and its quite simple to get in and drive to work and then thrash around the track on the weekend. The CSL which is my all time favourite car is a track day and no way can be driven everyday. And it isn't very hard to get the GTR to go sideways like a RWD car

Are you saying that a CSL CAN'T be used as an everyday car??
Well i've used one as an everyday car for the last 4+ years and it has done everything i have asked of it superbly

And me, granted not the best family car but otherwise is an all rounder

Not quite right. OK, it's no family car but I used mine for myself everyday for the first 6 months I owned it.

Dazza has used his everyday for some years now.

Totally agree on GTR point though. I think they are brill for a fun everyday car. As long as running costs don't get crazy but I wouldn't know about that.

Sorry Buddy, the CSL is def an everyday car if you wish it to be.

Appologise if you have taken offense to my post about the GTR, but thats just how I found it!

Well from my experiences the CSL wasn't a everyday car. I tried to use it for 6 months as a everyday car but it didn't work. I currently have a GTR with around 650bhp and it is a rocket. The only way I can describe the GTR is that its a tool to go fast and it does that well. I've not driven a car anywhere as good. To use the CSL everyday you have to be bonkers. I could never drive it without acting like I was on a track because thats how it makes you feel. Don't get me wrong though if i had to choose between the two I'd take the CSL every time but fortunately I don't have to.
