Default GT3 delivered

It's finally here - got it delivered on Friday. Breaking in done (1500 km in two days lol). It's my first Porsche and I need to say that it might be not the last one

Beauty. Seeing people taking delivery on these things is killing me! So envious.

Congrats! That is some serious driving in 2 days. Now open her up to 9k rpm!

Can you share some interior pictures when you get a chance?

Thanks! I'll post some extra pictures in the coming days.
What's 'funny' - the car was delivered without a second key because of chip shortage

Gorgeous!! My build isn’t too far off. Will be my first Porsche as well. Can you share your impressions on how the car drives?

I'm currently daily driving an M3 F80 (520HP/700Nm). GT3 feels much more direct - it's basically difficult to even compare the two. You just touch the steering wheel and the car already turned
The steering feel is magnificent. It's planted - M3 wants to slide all the time where the GT3 is really stable and just want to go faster
The suspension is hard but I don't see any issues with driving it daily. I wouldn't call this comfort but who's looking for comfort in a GT3?
I was really worried about it being so low but with the front axle lift so far I have had no issues (and Polish roads are far from being perfect).
LWB seats fit me really well - I've done more than 4 hours of driving without any stops - nothing to complain about.

Beautiful car! Way to break her in quickly so you can experience the full rev range. Enjoy in good health!

Congrats. Enjoy your car in good health.
I would really appreciate if you can share the height of the front lip in order to compare with my 991.2 GTS and decide if I will include FAL on my build.
1500kms in 2 days is serious driving.

I just measured it and it's almost 5 inches :O Of course, brake ducts are lower than that.

Keep in mind that the GT3 splitter protrudes further forward, so even if the heights were the same, the GT3 would have a somewhat worse approach angle.

Amazing! What do you think of the color? Was it what you expected?

Exactly - the newer cars have almost a triangular front spoiler lip that gives them quite a bit worse approach angle clearance than some of the previous gen cars (997, 991.1 GT3's). 991.2 kind of started with that newer design - aero improvement I suppose but less ideal daily.
