I've never went down the GT3 rabbit hole because I'm too poor and impatient, but it's gotta be in the top 5 of best sounding street legal cars, right?
Makes my M4 sound like the X5 in the driveway.

Absolutely!! You don’t need a radio when driving a GT3. The sound is sick!!!!!!

If there is any task the CLS and GT3 are not built for, it is drag racing. But, carry on if you must.

Since this is the UK press car, I would assume PS4S.

Good point!
In those conditions (temp and damp) the CSL might not even have got off the line on Cups…

Just made for clicks, no comparison, different league and pointless..

I can help myself. If this was twitter I would post a spitting drink meme.

The second part of the video where they are both taken on track for a track battle.

I continue to be amused by the reduced price delta between BMWs and Porsches in the UK vs the USA. $40k base price difference between the two cars here (no options added, no ADM considered) vs. the stated (in the video) price parity.

Is BMW ripping off UK buyers or is Porsche giving them a discount? Both?
