Thoughts...

Hi

Been away for a while.
Hope everyone is doing well?

Am looking for some inspiration...

I'm contemplating moving the CSL on but struggling with what to change it for. Current thoughts are a 2007/2008 997TT manual OE an R8 V10.

Thoughts on these two as a alternatives or any other suggestions?

Budget is max £70k but ideally <£60k. Use is as a weekend fun car. Ideally one that won't lose a load over time too...

I'm planning a Ring/Spa trip over Easter which may be the last hurrah in CSL so looking at changing around then.

Ta muchly

Hello mate

I've been thinking the same but can't bring myself to do it,

My thoughts were
997 gts
997 gt3 "expensive"
I looked at R8 but think they are a little footballers wives
C63 Amg
M6
Cayman s

No name a few

GTS might be a possibility ad I like the idea of a 'special'.
Not keen on the others.

Still gave a deposit down on an M2 CSL/GTS but no news on them yet...

My choice would be an Exige cup for a weekend toy. Had a ride round Donny, very impressive.
Next would be a Caterham, or Atom. Fond memories of my few years with the Caterham & Atom was lovely on track.

Regarding Pork I preferred the Cayman over the 911. Both driven at PEC with one of their instructors. Would love to have a go in the gt3 versions
Had a Cayman recently for two consecutive weekends, while a nice drive I just found it boring.
Funny wife loves the r8 and I find it interesting, but I think it will be too large on the road. Maybe I should listen to her and take a test drive.

In my opinion theres not much that is compareable to the enjoyment of driving a csl apart from GT3's.

Porsche Turbo - Very fast, but the imo the fascination wears off rather quickly. Just doesn't feel very special apart from the horsepower.
Also has no sound :whistle:.

R8 V10 - Looks stunning imho but i have not driven one yet, so can't comment. But definitely not a good track car, if you have that in mind.

Just to give you a few more ideas, lotus exige v6, corvette c6 z06, Ferrari 360/F430 those are not a nightmare in maintenance compared to older ferraris.

I did say, not a money pit?!

Can't see how any Fezza can be described as reasonable maintenance cars?

I didn't say reasonable :blalalala:

If you avoid the dealerships its not anymore expensive than an R8.
