CSL or GT3 the age old question

came very close to selling my M3, using some of the profit of the sale of my flat and buying a very nice 996 GT3 which i even went to view

decided against it in the end and spent some money tidying up a few bits on the M3 and really finishing off what I had started with it

reasoning was 2 fold really.........

would I get more driving pleasure from the GT3? yes they are special cars but having flashed most of them out the way at the ring and out dragged a few out of corners, I know there really isn't much performance benefit in the change

would I be more anal about the value of the car and this would distract from the driving pleasure? yes it would..........

for me at least it came down to want and not need, very glad with my decision to stick with the m3

my ultimate dream car is however a 997.1 RS in orange, was lucky enough to spend alot of time in the passenger seat of one at the ring on a trackday recently, this one has a few tweaks too.......

it was incredible and if finances allowed I would have one in a heartbeat, the noise, the looks, the engineering, the noise

did i mention the noise?

brilliant cars
