I think if I was looking to move out of the CSL, this would be high on the list.

Hopefully mine turns up next month

I have not had a test drive in one but going off the reports it looks pretty good admittedly I dont expect it to be a CSL but for me its a work car and maybe the odd trackday. I'm not really bothered about a LSD okay it might lose 1-2 seconds a lap but on the road it wont really matter, i'm just glad its got some decent brakes and tyres, a nice interior and importantly an Auto. It comes standard with leather sport seats and them fancy lights I forgot what they are called

so if I do turn up on a trackday it should be fun wet or dry for when I'm on track. It comes with a 3year warranty, 5year servicing package, fandango suspension, 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and 38 to the gallon all for 28k
