However, the way CarWOW stages its races puts the GT3 at a disadvantage due to the selected gears and does not properly depict the performance difference between these two cars. The pull from 50mph in 3rd gear has the GT3 lugging at 4,300rpm, less than half of its redline and well below the meat of the power band. The result would have been different if the GT3 would have been in 2nd gear instead @ 5,900rpm. Even the 40mph pull would have been different if the GT3 would have been in 1st gear @ 7,500rpm. Not saying the GT3 would necessarily be in front, but at least there would much less gap.

True, but watching at 100-200km/h time for both cars, the GT3 would still be "destroyed" because with 6,59 sec. the CSL is in another league and holding its own with the big boys such as M5CS!
I guess you know German, but the guy also states that the ZF in CSL is even faster than DCT!
Very impressive car!
