GTS at Lloyd's

fez · 25-11-2010, 02:52 PM

If you are near Lime Street, there is a nice shiney Orange GTS loitering. BMW did a talk to us Lloyd's Motor Club members. Sorry about the poor quality iPhone picture. Sounds nice but no way a worthy successor to the CSL.

Why did they choose a similar colour to that of some of the Porky GT3 RS's ??

Exactly, I love orange, don't like it in that colour at all, even if I had the dosh to buy one, I would not touch it with yours

I think the gts may be just a bit of a quick fix really, "bolt on this, bolt on that and paint the fooker orange that'll reel em in" thinks the beemer man looking enviously at the gt3's as they pass him on track....

I am probably wrong by the way I generally am in such matters

What i didn't like in a CSL at first is that the engine is not much stronger compared to standard M3. At least this time round - BMW have increased the capacity, making it able to compete with 997.2 GT3 RS.

CSL compared to 996 GT3 RS gets left behind by quite a margin. Dissapointing IMHO.

As for corners - I am confident M3 GTS will hold its own against 997.2 RS but the price of the thing..................!!!!!!!!!!

Its just not worth the dough.....

I wouldnt be tempted if it was the same price as a GT3, let alone an RS...

As previously said, looks like a privateer in the BTCC....so much more choice available at that money - two year old Gt2 anyone (and change for a CSL) ??.

Ltd numbers argument doesn't cut it imo.
