Upgraded CSL vs GT3
Instead of a 997 GT3, I am considering buying a M3 CSL (I live in Germany where I can buy a CSL for about 50,000 euro) improving the brakes and suspension - and adding a supercharger. For 70,000 euro this would create a car that could beat a GT3 on the Ring while still providing four seats and luggage space for business or family use. I like to own just one car and drive it for all occasions, including long-distance and hot Nordschleife laps. I don't want another heavy Turbo.
Even in standard form the CSL Ring time of 7.50 is close to the 7.45 of the GT3 (although the new GT3 cup tyres may be slightly less sticky than the old MPSC used on the CSL).
How do you think a CSL with motons, big brakes and 480 HP would perform in comparison to a new GT3?
How do you think such an upgraded CSL would feel in comparison to a new GT3 in terms of driver satisfaction?
I have driven a standard CSL on the street and liked its near perfect balance of performance and practicality.
BTW, the new GT3 has been weighed at 3223 lbs, making it heavier than the four-seat CSL. http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/showthread.php?t=320653
