I kept my CSL and got a 996 GT3. I still hanker after a GT3 RS and it would have to be in orange or kermit green if I stretched to one. I do not think there is a great deal between the 996 and 997 aside from satnav, computers and driving aids that I am totally against anyway. A radio does me as I enjoy the driving and let us face it one you are doing 100 plus you cannot hear much anyway.

The Porsche definately seems more raw and edgy and out of control which does add to the excitement but you cannot carry four spare wheels in the back so despite having four Michelin Cup shod wheels for over a year, I have yet to use them.

If I had the extra cash would I 'upgrade' to the 997RS, possibly yes but for the extra 400 quid in road tax and small performance improvements, I am not sure the money would be well spent.

Without question if you polled all current and ex CSL owners on what the next car would be ... it would read :

GT3 996/997
GT3 RS 996/997

Was contemplating TerryB's Manthay 996 M1 GT3 but am now waiting for a report back on a Manthay 996 M2 GT3. Hopefully it will work out but it's as close as I'll get to an RS for now..
