So the owner that never tracks the car is alway some what wishing for “more” rawness/feel or engaging interaction. However that is almost never reached on the streets.
The owner that tracks their car is always wishing it was less heavy, more power, stiffer chasis and so on. But when they drive it home they forget that all that weight makes it comfortable, that chasis flex more compliant.
I like the OP’s points of view cause it offers insight, the only thing I can say is to anyone reading this thread is that everything can be looked at in a different light.
The weight that the G80 has gained is not an issue at the track the car rotated and was super stable under breaking. The grip is insane honestly I can’t wait to put on sticky rubber on.
On the street, yea you can feel some of the extra mass but again if you put this in perspective name other cars that can honestly offer 70-80% the track experience and 70-80% street car fun. I will wait and yes I owned 911’s previous F80 with DCT.
Anyway long post over I’m just happy they still make such a capable all rounder of a vehicle.

Thank you Spacecowboy
Great perspective
Indeed, the G80 is not defined by its size nor transmission. . . I look forward to further exploring ALL it has to offer.
