But I agree. 444hp is more than enough for the F80. More power is not the issue. Last edited by FC; 07-28-2020 at 02:36 PM. |

Agreed ... grip to handle the power is an issue though I read on the Competition they improved it and with the new model having AWD that will resolve that issue as well. Last edited by Alan; 07-29-2020 at 05:49 PM. |

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. |

Don’t kid yourself, most new cars are clinical.
