Where do you go after a CSL? - Page 2

M3gts. I need a boot for the golf clubs

By the sounds of it most go to GT3, GT3RS, GTR, and then forever bleat on about wishing they'd never sold the CSL.

I would not want to sell mine as it is worthless

but I'd like to have a Black Series CLK for the road

Instead of changing why not give it a few updates? Maybe supercharge it or something, then it would piss on a GT3 and stay up with the GTR and GT3 RS.
Hasn't someone around here gone for a new EVO?

I had 2 CSL's then got the standard M3 had it a week sold it then back in a CSL sold it to fund a second house.

Bought an EVO5 got the power bug sold it now and going back in a CSL

If I had the money it would be fun to have a GT2 RS

Hard to find alternatives with the sharpness of the CSL for the same money (buying and running). 1M is a cracking car, it put a huge happy grin on my face every minute I was driving it. But it's no where near as sharp on the track. A 1M with a bunch of mods might be something to consider!! But... naaaaahhhh... I'm going to stay in the CSL

I went from my CSL to this

Only driven it a couple of hundred miles on the road and so far although great fun doesn't like the bumpy roads around where I live, I think it's been set up for track use so I might get someone who knows what they're doing to soften it up a bit.

As I posted the other week, I've spent the last two weeks umm'ing and ah'ing about selling my CSL for a 997 GT3. Looked at the RS, but nowhere to put kids and that means very limited road time for it. Then looked at a (sweet) GT3 with carbon buckets and Alcons at JZM, who offered to bung in rear seat belt fitting as part of the deal and offered me a good trade in on my CSL.

All good, you might think. However...

...GT3 is somehow less emotive. Also, a lot less flattering if you're not a hero driver, which I'm not. So...

...off to Simpsons next week for APs, Supersprint and some fettling. Saves me £35k too. Going to the DN day at the 'ring in March if anyone from here will be there.

CSL is the best all round car ever made !!!

On track i like my 996 GT3 more but its a bitch to drive on the road .

I sold my daily drive RS4 and now i'm using the CSL as a daily drive and the GT3 is standing on my driveway , i don't used to drive around time and stuff .

My CSL is modded for track use but is still fun and good to drive on normal roads and is fun and quick around the track .
