CRT is amazing.

The GTSs are stupid, imo-- once you get rid of the back seat (for a cage), you might as well buy a dedicated sports car instead of one compromised by being a 4 seater at heart. The GTSs undermine the entire point of M cars to me-- a practical car that's also great to drive.

... but I'd still take a CSL over a CRT. 400 lbs lighter is a huge dynamic difference (and more like 440 lbs lighter after the IMO mandatory 6mt conversion of the CSL)
