Am I making the right decision?

As others have said, you are probably not making the right decision here.
We obviously don't know your family and financial information but those two items need to come first before diving into a purchase as serious as a GT3.
Also, let's not forget your insurance ... it's going to go up with a GT3, so you have to factor that into your monthly or annual payments.
If I were you, I wouldn't purchase it until 100% of the cash is in the bank ... then I'd finance a part of it.
OTOH, I do understand the need to get a Porsche into your system. There are lots of great alternatives for far less money. Think 997.2, used 991 C2S, etc. Lots of bang for your buck at half or less the cost of the GT3. Apples to Oranges I know, but still lots of fun none-the-less.
There will be way better cars coming out of Stuttgart in the future, don't think for a second the 991 GT3 is the end-all of great cars from Porsche.

The GT3 is not a "payment"car. I once had a a corvette payment that was $1367 per month, but I didn't care because I could have paid cash and only financed it because they offered 0%. Like others said, if you are not comfortable writing a check for the whole amount, then don't finance it.
