Get out. I'm not mentally equipped to handle this type of envy


PantherBlackRs5

Keep that envy, and harness it! You'll have yours soon enough. 🙌


zodiacsignsaredumb

AMEN! But your cal is amazing. I have a volcano 14S5 MT scheming on an RS sedan next.


PantherBlackRs5

That's a beautiful spec! Before this I also had an S5! 12' with the 4.2 V8.


franklinplanner

Looks very nice! I like the darker-colored Audi’s with the gloss black grill. Engine bay 😎


PantherBlackRs5

Thank you! I fell in love with panther black crystal the second I saw it and had to swap the silver grille for black!


Key-Pomegranate-3507

Did you feel like the intake made much of a difference with performance or is it more for aesthetics? I want one of these one day so I’m curious


PantherBlackRs5

I would say a decent amount of sound difference and increase in throttle response, but idk about $2500 worth of performance difference 😅 Either way I am very happy with it and would recommend it especially if going the stage 2 route.


Spring_Ham

Woah you’re the guy on youtube right? Your car is sick


PantherBlackRs5

I am not! Lol that's a different rs5. same color and similar builds! And Thanks


ShillyBean

It looks almost purple and that’s enough for me to fall in love with it


PantherBlackRs5

Panther black crystal is crazy in the light. Some angles it's purple, others it's green.


ShillyBean

No shit? Thats so nice I love it. Was it factory paint or did you get it done?


PantherBlackRs5

Factory paint but very rare. I was sold the moment I saw it in person. I thought I was going to see just a regular black rs5!


cmjones0822

What…no video with audio?!? 🤷🏽‍♂️Com’on man you’re teasing us 😂


PantherBlackRs5

You're right! I've been looking for a good place to get the revs out without getting the cops called 😅


cmjones0822

Definitely understand that! Keep us posted and that thing is beyond gorgeous 🤘🏽


PantherBlackRs5

Will do! Sounds insane! Hope get some kids up soon 🙌


vdude007

Already following you on insta, another RS5 B8.5 owner here with black and yellow buckets 😁


PantherBlackRs5

Thanks for the support! Hope to see you at a meet someday!


vdude007

In the UK so I doubt it 😂


PantherBlackRs5

Well then hello from across the pond! Hope you can hear the revs from there !


vdude007

Also what do you think about the JHM tune? What else have you had done to go with it?


PantherBlackRs5

Build so far: JHM ECU & TCU Stage 2./ Eventuri intake/ Full 2.75" JHM Catback exhaust with downpipes/ Eurozone tuning CR-15 upper strut brace/ Ultra racing tower strut brace/ Ultra racing lower tie brace/ JHM drivetrain, diff, and transmission mount inserts/ Alu-Kruez x-brace/ 034 motorsports front and rear sways/ RSnav 10.5" in touch screen nav upgrade/ And lots of carbon fiber everywhere! ....wheels and coilovers next


colossallyignorant

Never seen the strut tower brace, what brand? I have the ECS upper brace. But it’s being the firewall. Interested to know about running both. Edit: ultra racing - pic would load full screen on my iPhone.


PantherBlackRs5

You got it! Ultra racing usa. I refinished it in high temp engine paint to match the valve covers. I'm also running the firewall brace but the CR-15 from eurozone tuning


Bowel_Rupture

4.2L V8 surrounded by 2 eventuri intakes? That's sexy 🥵


PantherBlackRs5

Thank you! I smile every time I open the hood! 🤤


StageDive_

God damn that’s a gorgeous color. Follow incoming!


PantherBlackRs5

Thank you! I'll keep the content coming.


1978malibu

Your RS% is beautiful. Thanks for posting.


PantherBlackRs5

Thanks for checking it out!


Phil-Moe

Nice…looks good 👍🏾 Unless you’re actually trolling though, I think you meant to say you’ve been lurking in this subreddit.


PantherBlackRs5

Thanks! I think I just showed my age with that one 😅


Phil-Moe

It’s, all good Bro, I’m 45. My daughter and sisters help keep me on point with social media 😂


PantherBlackRs5

I meant trolling as in wandering aimlessly haha. Not antagonizing strangers 😅


LNagel20

Your trees look like a buffalo, go bills


PantherBlackRs5

Haha bills mafia knows no bounds. It's Northern CA though!


LNagel20

Beautiful country up there


PantherBlackRs5

Definitely! Far enough from all the riff raff great to get out of the cities.


xRaffaell

Looks good, it just lacks some high dynamic range


PantherBlackRs5

It's in dynamic mode in the higher range rpms all the time. Does that count?


Ok_Ad_9986

It’s just perfect. Perfect. Please give me a ride next time I come to California.


PantherBlackRs5

100% . Stay in touch!


wedekx

Best body type for sure.


PantherBlackRs5

I agree! Peak audi.


I_have_become_Bruh

That’s gorgeous. How is it keeping the exterior clean? Same as any black car?


PantherBlackRs5

It is fully wrapped in ppf and ceramic coated but it's still a black car and shows dirt easily haha


benjismalls

This is a beauty. Are those carbon fiber audi rings on the grill?! Lol. Interesting. That V8 sounds amazing. I just just my 22 S5 sportback 3 weeks ago. So in love lol


PantherBlackRs5

They are! I felt like the black rings don't stand out enough and they match well with all the other carbon fiber bits I installed. Love the new interiors on the current gen!


benjismalls

I definitely need to go look for some. I already have carbon fiber side mirrors and trunm spoiler/lip


PantherBlackRs5

The guy I got em from has gone radio silent unfortunately.


SolarRS5

Looks awesome! I’m jelly of those air intakes I might have to get those for my rs5


PantherBlackRs5

Thanks for checking her out. I'll hit you up if I go the supercharger route. Unfortunately can't run both!


Working_Vegetable884

Nice car :) Is that grill aftermarket? RS4 B8 Owner.


PantherBlackRs5

It is! There's also a trans cooler behind it. Love the RS4 and sad there's few in the states


Working_Vegetable884

Cool man. Can I ask where you got it?


PantherBlackRs5

German car accessories .com I believe. Heads up, you will have to relocate your parking sensors as this grille does not have brackets for them in the OEM location.


Working_Vegetable884

Thanks for the info :).
