Default Selling my 996 C2 to get an CSL

Right... I've decided, I'm going to sell my 911 (996) C2 to get a CSL, the exclusivity of the CSL along with the anonymity to most people attracts me... I'm tired of people treating me differently because I drive a Porsche and the wife always gets embarrassed when I pick her up from the Gym...

No doubt everyone on here agrees that I am making the correct decision!

I very nearly bought a 997 C2s before the CSL (wife put a stop to it because of the rear "seating")....

Glad I went the CSL route now tho

Yes, I have 2 kids, aged 7 and 10, the 996 is getting a little tight now.. I thought about growth reduction pills for him...

How long have you had your CSL and what car has it been closest to for you?

I've had various things, E34 M5, E30 325 Con, E55 AMG, 944 turbo...

Only had the CSL for 2 weeks.... Before that I had a 420bhp Mk2 Focus RS, several Cosworths and way before that E30 325i and a E28 M535i.

It's hard to compare it to any of the others but for me as a package it just seems right from the outset, the seating position, the ride comfort, the power etc all seems "right" without having to spend £1000's modifying the car (which for me is amazing lol)...

Sold my 997 C2S (which constantly broke down) and replaced it with my CSL. No comparison, CSL is much better all round. Still have a hankering for a GT3 but cannot bring myself to sell the CSL.

They are probably looking thinking, why did he buy that and not the turbo


Yes you are making the right decision, if you said you were selling a gt3 to buy the CSL, hhhmmmm not so.

Good luck in your search

I love Fords... my other car is mark 1 Escort with Ginetta 1800 zetec fitted... I've never had a Cosworth... nearly got a Escort Cossy... but the CSL seems more appropriate for my age
