The S3 that I test drove in September had an intoxicating engine sound and awesome power. I knew right there that the S3 would be my next car. Great brakes too. Made me feel like a teenager again
I think my S3 is in the same boat going to San Diego. Arriving Dec 5th.

I really want to see the Panther Black in person as I'm leaning heavily towards Sepang. Luckily I have a couple months before my car will be built so I can change my mind.

Dynoflash (otherwise known as Al) was a universally hated tuner in the Evo community, I hope you didn't end up a victim of his crappy tuning. I've seen first hand the many horror stories about his tunes and his attitude back from 03-09 when I had my Evo 8. I spent a few long afternoons helping friends re-tune their cars after Al was done with them.

Where do you live? I'm in the NY/NJ tri-state area? Send me a PM if you really need to see the color. But what I can tell you about the color is that it is beyond nice. Very very deep. During one evening there was a certain angle where it looked like the hood was a black hole, it looked like outer-space, like you can put your hand through it. The hood of my car looked like the Hayden planetarium without stars.

The color also shifts, It remains deep black but during certain angles in the day you can see the subtle colors. The colors shifts from the grey color of the pic I have of the hood above, to the purple of the fender during certain highlights (but still always black). Its really hard to explain. And it night you cant see the highlights, it just looks like the deepest black that I've ever seen. I've seen the Sepang, Panther Black is a much nicer color IMO, it also cost $1075. Almost twice the price as the Sepang. There's a reason for that.

Big Al? No comment.... My car didn't blow up... But I should have went to IveyTune. Thanks

I'm too **** to own a black car, but what a great color combo and the wheels look amazing with the black exterior.
