Picked up my GT3 on St Patty's day
I absolutely love this car! Though I have to admit the experience is somewhat dampened by the break-in chore...now have 430 miles on her this weekend...all under 4000rpm. Arrrghh!
I can already tell how amazing it is though.
PTS Arena Red, Aluminum wheels, PCCBs, full leather/Alcantera with CF. (sorry for crappy iPhone picture...was over at friend's house...lighting not the best).

It's amazing how it changes color in different lights. In my garage with fluorescent lights it actually looks quite purple (which I don't like), but in the sun shines with a metallic burgundy with gold and brown background.
The manual tranny is very sweet...though I have to be very careful going from 5th to 6th...it wants to sneak into 4th. Maybe just needs some breaking in.

Re 5th to 6th, after 1k miles I still have the same issue and have to be conscious of it when shifting. I’ll get used to it, I hope!
Sport mode and rev matching too has taken some getting used to while going into corners aggressively. It’s all a learning curve but so engaging and different to PDK. Enjoy!

Very Royal , special elements coming together presenting beautiful GT3 Style -- enjoy -- the break in thing yea self imposed pain but will yield your gain ultimately, at least that's what I kept telling myself with .1 back when

I have to use extra caution as well. It is not a confident shift like the old mezger cars were.
