Ultimately this differentiation between base and competition is mostly a marketing ploy as most will pay the premium for "more" horsepower even though its actual benefits may not worth the additionally cost.

So basically like in Europe instead of paying 81.000 euro for the pure and instead pay 90.000 euro for the competition model not worth the cost? It’s not like we are talking about a 25.000 euro pure car and a 34.000 euro competition model.
I mean if you are willing to pay over 80.000 euro for a car why then not spend the extra money for a factory (and thus warranty) tuned version that comes with xdrive, and 8 speed auto box. Imho it will certainly be worth the extra money.
Sure if you are not planning to use it as a daily driver or are not always stuck in traffic then go for the base or pure model with RWD and manual transmission.
