Cetainly looking forward to that noise everyday

James.

Top buy

I test drove this one and couldn't fault it. It is a very tidy car. Have you took the warranty out on it?

You will have tell me how it compares to the RS when you get it as my brother has an RS. Not letting him drive my CSL

Welcome to the fold! It's an amazing car and I bet that this week can't pass quickly enough.
Believe me, youtube clips will help a little but you'll struggle to sleep.
Really rate the Focus RS and the R34, very impressive cars both. I'm sure you'll find it a different challenge in RWD N/A in comparison.
You'll struggle to decide what to replace it with when the time comes - hopefully that'll be a long way off. ;-)

Welcome mate.

The CSL is an addiction!

Thanks guys.

The revrant- Focus RS was a more focused and cuckable car than the R34, that was larger. Problem with it was that with the 4 wheel drive and steering it felt a bit clinical, couldnt feel the road through the steering.

Jaw F430- Nice, did seem really tidy inside and out. all the alacantara looked new, will be taking out the warranty out aswell. I have a robert stern close to me where il take it. From the first experience with the car it felt very much like the focus. Very pointy, gocart like. except in the CSL all the power is there without any lag. This was quite bad in the RS and the torque steer was quit scary. Very much looking forward to the end of the week now

Think it will go slowly though...

Was your RS standard? You will love the CSL, but the week will go soooo slow

CSLjimmy · 08-11-2008, 06:52 PM

lol yeh, want to go into hibernation until its time.
The RS was slightly standard. had a decat, titanium exhaust, new manifold and an uprated ECU. all i did to the body was fitting those cosworth vents.
Love the way the CSL is perfect as it is. (for me anyway lol)

Hi James

Great choice of car! I have had my csl now for over 4 years and it still makes me grin every time I drive it!
