seems like the main sticking point would be to own them both. I guess depends what you are after.

I think we can only tell you to keep the CSL becoz from a $$$ perspective its done with its depreciating, whereas the 997 GT3 has a renewed model that will affect its supply/demand equation. In other words, you are selecting between a limited edition and a unlimited edition.

If you are after the drive, experience and the overall Porkie image I would go for it. Just get what you enjoy and what floats your boat.

People tell me the GTR is too digital etc etc. But its not. They tell me keep the LP570 Superleggera (luckily I didn't, prices will tumble soon as the new one is released). Based on your priorities, select on your criteria's, not other peoples wishes.

Both magic cars. Just one won't tolerate fools as Clarkson says.

I'm getting a 991 GT3 becoz a fool can drive it and the mrs will enjoy it due to the flappy paddle PDK. Manual box is something that has stopped me from getting one period. Hence, as you can see my needs are way different to most petrolheads. Your choice, your needs and your love!

If you do get one, you getting a RS version? That wing on the back can support a mini picnic. Lovely piece of kit.

its does look bigger, but the PDK is the main selling point for me as the mrs can drive it to the shops etc, and I can use it for the occasional blast. Its going to loose alot of $$ too.

If I had it my way I would have a 997 GT3 RS instead as it won't loose much and I'd never touch its limits anyway. Leave all the nanny stuff on as "I AM A FOOL"

But the CSL continues to stay with me. Mrs, doesn't understand why I still love it so much. I had my moments in selling her, but hell I'm so glad I did not.
