You are going from an Altima to a GT3? Good God, man, that has to be a first.

Get in contact with your local Porsche club and inquire about high performance driver's education. It is a great way to experience your new car in a controlled environment with the benefit of in-car instruction.

Yep, altima was my first car ever, this will be my second, will be keeping the altima as well for winter driving until the lease ends, then can get an actual winter car.

Yup next step is to learn how to properly enjoy this car, although I will be waiting a little bit so I can save some money up first!

Again thanks all for the well wishes, I will post some more pics once the car is delivered home!

I don't think you yet understand the gravity of your decision, and luck, of chasing down and getting a GT3.

You have just entered a world of no return! You will soon find out what the rest of the RL community has commented on! Its almost explainable! My advise....drive the crap out of the car and enjoy every minute of it!

Thanks! I hear ya, especially after combing through this forum, I know that there will be no return! Thats why I plan on keeping the car for life

The search for this car was frustrating for sure, especially since I thought I had no chance at it, but after going through the process, I know I am very very lucky, and to tell you the truth, it just hit me that I am getting this car when my SA sent the pics today the smile that has been on my face all day isn't going away anytime soon
