It's a bit ugly though is the 996. I couldn't swap the CSL for one. It's not just about driving the car for me - i like to take a beer into the garage some nights and make sure she's still there... if you know what i mean
I've had a 997.2 GT3 before so know what i'd be getting myself into. 7.1 is near as dammit as good (for me), and tbh i don't drive them hard enough to notice the extra 10-15% improvement of the 7.2.
A bigger garage and deeper pockets is what i really need though! I might take some photo's of CSL when i get the chance and try it at £45k.
Cheers all for replies
