A year without a CSL

raCedeSignLtd · 20-12-2008, 09:05 PM

A year to the day that my CSL was replaced with the GT3 as my track car.
Am I quicker ? yes but not by a huge amount
Have I crashed it ? yes at oulton
Has it been dearer than the CSL to run? yes spent in excess of 10k upto now!
Should I have kept the CSL ? probably
Would I buy another CSL ? Definately
Wouldn't sell the gt3 as it's a fantastic car but am really considering getting a CSL too as they seem to have dropped in price a little so can afford both now

is GT3 a harder car to drive? I know GT2's clutch is a killer in traffics... how about GT3? Equally as hard to step on compare to BMW's M range cars?

Thanx!!!

cheers,

Love th GT3....is it a 997 or 996...Interesting thoughts and comments as always fancied a 997 GT3 next. Sounds like they are trickier on the limit then?

It is trickier but it is vey satisfying to drive hard.
The clutch is heavy but TBH I only the car on track so I don't mind.
My GT3 is a mk1 clubsport spec with RS aero, cup brakes, manthey exhaust, h&r suspension, polybushed and a few other tweaks,
Just been wrapped in white with the gt3cup graphics kit

Always prefered the looks of the mrk1 over the mrk2. Sounds great do you have any pics you can post?

I think I'll be going 997GT3 next time. Its the next step up IMO.
