Thanks will do PT3! Everyday I think of how blessed I am to be able to drive this machine and that will continue for as long as I have it!

Enjoy your GT3 and never look back. I sold my 2015 Jaguar F-type R to get my GT3 and could not be happier!

Absolutely! Haven't even thought about the f-type or any other car for that matter since I put the order in and I don't think I will be for the near future with this beast in the garage!

Finally got the car on Monday, laptop died on me so couldn't post any pics but have some now! I must say listening to that engine is really something else, I love blasting music when driving but with this car I find myself lowering the music so i can sit there and enjoy the noise of the engine. Haven't gone past 4K as i am following the manual on the break in, but I did notice that the car has a significantly different tone at 4k than at 3k, seems like the exhaust note goes about the next level. The lift has definitely come in handy with my crappy driveway, and some of the terrible entrances seen out here in Mass. The ride itself is a lot smoother than I expected, especially when compared to the GTR. The steering is very nice and the control you have with this car is something I have not encountered with any other car, feels like the road is being hugged by the car. I really like the ability to go in neutral while holding down both paddle shifters i think its a neat function and definitely something i can see being of use. The Xpel has already been put to use, as some guy decided to park next to me out of all the empty parking spots, and when he opened his door hit my bumper thankfully have xpel coverage over there. Going from an altima to this I think one neat aspect is the fact that others get excited over your own car. I had a guy and his wife pull up next to me where his wife was so excited she was giving me a thumbs up and taking as many pictures as she could before the light turned green, I couldn't help but smile and just think back to how fortunate I am to be driving this beauty!






Love the Frunk!











This is one of my favorite parts of the car, need to get a better pic of it!











Love the contrast of the black on the lower trim of the side mirrors!











Didn't order red stitching on the steering wheel but somehow ended up with them!











Need to get rid of the pillows!











Pretty cool clock, even if the app isn't great!





Love the touch the fire extinguisher brings to the car!





Kinda wish I got the customized illuminated sills after seeing some creative ideas on RL!





This picture represents the color of the key better than my previous one!





Love the Porsche logo!

Your first Porsche a GT3! Actually that was me too- not this one, but my 997.2. As you can see, I haven't turned back!

Congrats. Looks great. I really like the black on the mirrors. The exhaust valves open around 3,800 rpm- that's why it gets louder.

Thanks, this week is perfect, as its going to be sunny all week, and all the snow we had gotten last week was melted when the weather jumped to 50 degrees!

Thanks, i really like the black mirrors, too definitely gave it the feeling of being consistent with the black rims, headlights, and lip! At first i was a little worried when i pushed it to 4k and it made such a distinct change in noise, but as i did it a couple more times, thought that it might be opening up , good to hear that it is normal as suspected!

Wait until you hear the noise/sound at 7K - 9K rpm.

Awesome. Your gonna love it. Mine is a year old and still puts a smile on my face, just like the day I got it, every time I walk in the garage and especially when I turn the key.
Enjoy in good health.
