CSL vs. 996 GT3

[Bealo]

Lovely car and one of only a few that i would consider if i was to move away from the CSL.

There fetching not a lot of money these days and you get a hell of a lot of car.

Decent power is fairly cheap to achieve if you so wish, i know i would want more :thumbs:

i haven't seen one on track yet but i guess they go very well.

Whats going on with the low milage CSL that you did not buy in the end?:whistle:

It's a 2004/04 TT X50. The performance took me by surprise, easily the most rapid thing I have ever driven. Nothing else has come close....you wouldn't expect it to be a hell of a lot quicker than a 420hp M3 (like i recently sold) but the difference feels dramatic. I have considered some subtle mods - 600bhp is apparently easily achieveable, but at the moment it's under Porsche Warranty which would of course be invalidated by as much as an exhaust change!!!


Re the CSL, the sellers gf was involved in an accident in France and until a couple of weeks ago he was in France with her waiting for her to make a recovery. He refunded my deposit and said he'll contact me when things have settled down. I'll see how I get on with this, who knows I may still get the CSL

Drove a Turbo at the beginning of the year..bloody bonkers fast, pulled like feck in any gear ....lots of performance for the money. They have gone up in price over the last 6 months...there was few good one around 27k now they are around 33k.

Enjoy :thumbs:

I sold mine for 30k earlier in year with 35k on clock. Rapid car.

I have a carbon fibre look rear wing, slightly bigger than the standard one,
looks cool imo.

ill post a pic up, if youre interested let me know, if you have the 6pots fitted i have pf discs and pads and i also have a brand new sfs silicone hose kit available.:thumbs:

[m33ufo]

I'm going to keep it looking pretty much standard. The exception could be a second set of wheels which I may finish in a dark grey or black. I like the idea of the hoses but again these would probably invalidate my Porsche warranty.

X50 TT = AWESOME road car! (and no, not much will be quicker in real world driving)

Congrats and enjoy in good health :thumbs:

I doubt the hoses will invalidate your warranty, if you change your mind just pm me,

Nice car by the way, very different to the csl.
They are devastatingly fast with a little remap and exhaust

Goes like absolute stink! Grip is immense and the 4wd makes it feel very planted - biased 95% to rear until it's required.

Cheers, I'm going to check with Porsche in the morning. Although nothing would surprise me given that the terms and conditions of the warranty state that even tyres need to be replaced by your friendly neighbourhood OPC!!!!

Probably coz the only track you visit is that one out in the sticks where few people can be arsed going... :gayfight: :hahaha:
