Auto trader UK: You need to step up your game. We really deserve better from you.
Why?

When I sign up for a track event, I show up and drive whether it rains or not.

In my F80, the stock OEM wheels with PS4S are my rain setup, and in the back seat I have a dry weather setup with slicks. At the expense of some convenience (mounting and dismounting wheels), I have a flexible setup.

With the CSL and GT3, I think you are constrained to run whatever the car is shod with. So if you show up with both to the track in the rain, the CSL will be harder to drive than the GT3, by quite a margin.

And if you show up in the dry, rest assured, the situation will be the same.

No matter what, the GT3 is a better track car. Both are compromised street cars.
