What to expect?
I recently came from a Black STI ...................awesome car throughout.
The only downfall with Black cars is the cleaning of it. You will soon be very knowledgeable and profficient in the art of car care but when they shine, they shine fantastic.
You will feel more confident with the handling and braking over the WRX and noticeable improvement in pace.
Your street cred will also rise somewhat.
Good move.

Good luck tomorrow mate. I bet you don't sleep tonight 
Hopefully it won't be raining, nothing worse than picking up a new motor in the rain IMO.
It won't take you long to get used to that extra power !
ENJOY

Picked it up and what a differance over my WRX, So much stiffer inside the car, Much pretier being a black car and the kids aprove of the interior(thank god for that) , Much worse on fuel but to be fair i have been giving it some before the wife and kids saw it, AWESOME performance in fact it's going to take a while to get used to it, I was genuinly scared twice today as it seemed very twitchy, I'm not going to knock it though i think i just need to get used to it, I'm going to get the geometry checked out before having some big fun!

If you've got re070s fitted they will add to the on the road twitchyness (great when the tarmac is great crap when it's not) also I found 4 wheel alignment helped no end!
