Where do you go after a CSL?

Barry C · 29-02-2012, 10:46 AM

So we all obviously love our CSL's and many of us will own them for years to come but if you were to change to another car what would it be?

What is the logical step after the CSL?

I'm thinking it has to be a GT3?

Any other choices? I'd love a Scud or a Challenge Stradale but they're not realistic for me to buy any time soon

Like a lot of others, usually back into a CSL.

If it was regardless of money, probably a GT3RS for me, but they cost 2 or 3 times as much (996 / 997).....are they 2 or 3 times as good? I did look at a 996 GTRS, but I couldn't get the image of a standard 996 with a body kit out of my head?

In terms of value for money, reliabilty and depreciation - I can't better a CSL.

After 6 years, I still don't know.

I too think GT3/GT3RS but as has been said before, it isn't as practical.

GTR if anyone wants straight swap

I put the csl back on the road after winter god it was so good to be back behind the wheel i forgot how quick and how good they are.I don't think i would ever sell it but if i did maybe i would get a 997 turbo?.

Would quite fancy a 964 Carrera RS. That one at Mondello got me thinking again Barry, but they're too much cash for me!

Like the CLK Black too, but same problem as above

For me it would be a 997 GT3 Club Sport or RS (GT2 if i was rich enough) however from what i've seen the running costs are on the moon.
There was an Akrapovic rear silencer on PH the other month for one at the bargain price of £5k

mattCSLnut · 29-02-2012, 07:29 PM

For me there isn't anything out there that I'd want to replace the CSL with. Sure there are other cars I'd like to have a play with (when I win the Lotto

) like the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera or the Datsun R35 GT-R Spec 'V' but these would be in addition to the CSL

not instead of

Stradale

Assuming I can afford.

Wonder where Chris Harris' 997 GT3 ended up, as he'd put an Akrapovic on that. Think he got rid of the car when he bought a new RS 4.0 at the end of last year
