Nevetas,
Congrats on a fantastic purchase. As you are a previous CSL owner I'd be very interested to know how you feel the two cars compare...
I don't know how soon, if at all, you intend to 'track' the car but really all I want to know is how exploitable you feel the car is on the road.
I have a CSL and at times feel that, as much as the car is a joy to own and drive, a large reserve of the car's abilities lie off the road and on the track - my impression of the GT3 and especially the RS is that this is even more the case.
I realise such opinions take time to form but would be interested in your early impressions.
Cheers,
Steve.

Very nice!
Im surprised you can afford to buy stuff like that on a staff job salary. I would have assumed you actually ran your own company to be able to justify that sort of purchase!
I guess everyone gives in to the sins of credit sooner or later
