But I agree. 444hp is more than enough for the F80. More power is not the issue.
Maybe it will get a little boost for the M3? I agree 520 would make sense. Though again it absolutely doesn't need it.

I've read that the Competition package on the F80s puts the power down better than the "base" cars like mine, but I haven't dug into it enough to figure out what the differences are. My car is definitely a little squirrely under hard acceleration, but honestly it's a nice contrast to the clinical, near perfect thrust of the Model 3.
