Default Finally joined the club!!

I have had a Porsche in the garage since 2013 but this is my first GT3. Last night I took delivery of a 2018 Racing Yellow that is nicely optioned. I'm very excited to have finally made the jump! It will ultimately be my track rat but I need to take some time to get used to this amazing machine. It already has a half cage and 6 point harness so I'm happy about that! I will keep updating as I start modding and tweaking it. I have already learned a lot from peeps here and hope to be able to contribute a bit as well!! Here are a few pics for now.

You’re going to love it. I’ve had a Porsche in the garage since 2006 and I can say since my 991.2 GT3 came in Jan 2018, it’s been so much fun. I also think we’ll look back fondly on the 991 GT3 design, not saying the 992 isn’t a great machine but I really love the 991.

Congrats! I picked up my mine on Friday (white one) and the dealership had just taken in a yellow 991 GT3 on trade. The yellow looked much better in person than I was expecting.

Welcome to the club and you have a very nice GT car specimen there...and your garage is the bomb. I am so jealous...all I have is a GT car/Surfboard closet. I look forward to your updates

Thanks for all the compliments! I'm really loving it so far! I had it on the track on Sunday for a few "get to know you" laps. The Cayman R in the pictures will be retired from track duty, the GT3 will takeover very soon! I took a video as well but the wind buffeting over 100 mph kinda ruins it. But it was awesome on the track! The Cayman has been amazing but it was time for an upgrade. I did confirm that the GT3 already has a IPE full Ti exhaust. It sounds amazing!!! More to come....
