As I understood, much of the initial criticism was addressed after the first year of production. The snappy oversteer and the feeling that "it wanted to kill you", vanished as from 2016 production and not only in competition guise. As I'am not mistaken, much was related to the differential set-up.

The few occassions I drove it, it excelled because of its torquey engine, aggressive DTC, nimble dynamics (felt light weight) and on the few mild oversteer hairpin exits I provoked, it felt progressive.

Nonetheless, I understand the G80 is an entire level beter.
I had a 2016 F80 (6/16 production) that wanted to kill me each and every time I drove it…
