Oo la la! My favorite color! Nice! Congrats! If I am in the market for an S3, this would be my #1 color of choice.

How does it compare to the B8.5? And actually, how does it compare to the R, as well?

More refined than the R... smoother stock power .. the tech is off the hook...better handling, suspension seems tighter. Still needs APR I IMHO.
I'd like AWE to cut off the tips and put their black tips on... and I'll stick w the stock exhaust...
Next up...

Ditto on both of your comments! The only that I "hated" about my 2001 Imola Yellow S4 was 1) keeping the rocker panels clean (that bright yellow showed everything!), and 2) I got more speeding tickets in that car than ALL of my others combined!! LOL Could be the driver though (maybe).

Nice looking ride MuRaNODaddy! Btw, I like the Black Optics on the yellow S3 more than the equivalent of the RS3 because the side view mirror housing is yellow instead of black. Looks nicer IMO.
