CSL to Porsche!

[Silver Bullet]

Gone the to the dark side a couple of months back now with a 7RS

Love this car to bits and took it to the ring recently (same time Lawsy was out) with T$ and the hooligans, car felt awesome and soon got used to it after some initial shocking laps getting the feel for it!


Just wondered who else has gone from a Cecil to a 997 gen 1 GT3/RS or beyond and what their thoughts were after "the move!"

Mine are all positive except everything costs twice a much but i guess thats just how it is.
Would love to have kept the Cecil as well though and would have one again if funds permit

Both awesome bits of kit :thumbs:

I am a big fan of the porker gt3 RS and if i could have a 997 in orange I would but I was abit surprised how close in performance my CSL was at Spa a couple of weeks ago. Must have been 20 gt3 997 RS's and not one got away and only pulled two car lengths at the end of the straight!

Was expecting more but I would still love to own one :drool:

Did our paths cross on track?

There were a few out, I passed a fair few, but no UK ones stick in my mind.
I had a good tussle with a couple of german plated ones.

What days were you out Alex.

They are awesome cars, how is T$ getting on in the PDK turbo S, bet he is quick in that

Nice one Alex,sounds like your enjoying it:thumbs::thumbs:

Good looking cars Alex, and quick when you get used to them.

Do you get as big a roof rack on it?

Lol this is why we love Cecils i guess!

That said they do feel quicker and that 60 odd extra horsepower does make a difference:smokin:

Not just that though its the look of thing when the garage door lifts up!, sad but true!!

Alex,

The RS looks cracking, definitely a good move up from the CSL!

Although, I am glad you sold it, as I now have a mint Cecil.

Cheers

Just made the step across to the dark side, as said on here really don't expect it to be much quicker than my CSL certainly will not be until I get used to it and how the pork handles and doesn't forgive as much as the CSL does.

But just needed to tick the box, four weeks in and to early to really tell / compare anything, will wait till I've tracked it and had some long runs, but it already brings a smile to me when I wander up to it and start her up.

It squeaks and rattles and skips all over the place, feels edgy but alive at the same time, need to get confidence and knowledge in its ability and im sure it will begin to really become what I expected in a GT3 ...

Love the 997 shape too, and want to play with it a bit, V3's exhaust etc , but need to hang on a bit till im used to it std ..
