Yes, definitely less visceral and raw than the F8X. More smooth, in both power delivery and the way the car goes down the road. Where an F8X always felt on a knife edge to me with the way the torque was delivered, I feel like the G82 I drove, at least in base form, was much more linear. The steering is also more reactive off center and sharper. The car feels much more planted than the F8X does - that may be due to the wider tires and revised damping (the car rides far better and is less crashy).

The one thing I will say is that the F8X feels more.....on its toes than the G82 did. But I was extremely impressed and loved my time in it.
Similar feeling when I drove an M3 comp. fast all around and mostly linear delivery but not sure that is what I want in a car. I am sure I would happy in a G80 but nothing about it is making me have to have it like the F80 did.
