Mate i am in no way knocking the car as i think they are great and possibly one of the best looking motors on the road as stock.
You obviously know exactly what i am saying
I have actually had a drive (only short) of the CSL (lightweight version, yeah?) M3. Great power and great sound (horrendous fuelling lol!). You made me the offer before and i appreciate it.
Like the others have said though i will like it a bit too much and then start looking elsewhere which at this time isnt practical for me, yet.
As for the Evo/RS6. Hmmm you have a bit more refinement with the M3 rather than the Evo. It also depends which evo you go for.
I aint that much of a fan of the VIII and IX.
A mate of mine own owns his own gym and supplement range had the XIII (FQ320) for approx 4mnths. 2 clutches and plethora of problems. Brand new out of the showroom as well and Mitsubishi arent the best customer service orientated ppl either. Suffice to say he sold it and got a Monaro the VRX 420bhp model.
Now the electrics on that ******* up things. It had that much torque and power going through the rear wheels the ABS kicked in all at the wrong times and sent you ******* sideways. I almost did on a mini-roundabout. Vauxhall hadn't refined that thing down well enough to make it drivable which is a shame.
Again lovely and rare car but just impractical. He sold that within 2mnths of owning it. Now funnily enough has a black soft top M3.
If you get a chance take the Evo VI out as a comparison. I had the Tommi Macinnen edition given to me to me by my mate whilst he was in the Algarve. 320bhp, just a straight through exhaust system, induction and that went like sh!t of a shovel although it hurt your arse after a while especially on our crappy roads. In my opinion still the one to go for as i like IV-VI.
BTW the fastest thing i have drove is the w@nkel engine (****** lol) based RX-7. That left everything for dust. I had the chance to buy that from a mate for very *** money but couldbt @ssed with the ****** ****** up on me as i would have torched the it.
