I got my CSL some time ago and a couple of years ago got a 996 GT3 to go with it. The Porsche is definately more in your face (mine is a lairy colour) whilst the CSL is a little more covert. I am still not sold on paddle shift (I shall take cover for that comment) but am loathed to get rid of the CSL and then regret it as many have. Again the CSL has other advantages like being able to take four wheels in the back to the Nordschleife or my bike and of course other passengers relatively comfortably.

I am not sure if a C4S would really compare. I think the turbos are four wheel drive too but will have that straight line speed if that is what you want.

Will it be a track car, a weekend car or something to commute in - ?

Try and drive both and then decide what you want it for and how practical it will be for its intended use. I would also add that I think that Porsche are slightly more expensive to run which you should also bear in mind.

Good luck.
