V8m3 to CSL - Page 2

I have gone opposite way. Both great cars, very similar but at the same time very different.

Csl feels "old school" compared to the e92.

Csl out the box is far more motorsport than the e92 is.

E92 with exhaust is a different car, the whole experience changes completely
Whereas IMO the Csl needs nothing changing to be great

The dct is a little detached compared to the smg, but fundamentally in performance terms is better. Smg feels cumbersome IMO at slow speeds. Smg is perfect at high revs, but lacks the finesse lower down. The dct is great througout the range giving kick in back in s6 at warp speed that smg does.

We shall see at croft how the e92 fares on track against the Csl boys.

Both cars have pro and cons, right now for me the e92 has more pros than the Csl does, I did say it was an itch I wanted to scratch and I'm currently scratching like a flea ridden mongrel

I keep looking at Csl thinking I will return, someday I will, that's for certain.

Biggest plus for me is cruise control

Going to Germany is far easier cruising along with legs stretched out, the trip in the pork turbo was great because of this.

Thats one thing that never bothered me in the slightest matt, mad it may seem, but I never thought about it in all my days. If it was a daily driver then yes, but for a balls out weekend/track car it was great. Besides cold winter months heater was on, hot summer months windows where down taking in the aural delights.

That's one way of looking at it Shane

though I agree about the "windows down = aural delights "

I hope you don't start ripping the E92's A/C system out in an attempt to shaving off weight

HAAAAAAA

LOTS OF TRAFFIC

But squeezed a 2m 52.6

SD Card filled up for last session

Overall I think sub 2m 52 is possible for me but in think sub 2m 51 would be very hard, need a perfect Lao and bigger balls
