Slawboss · 02-07-2023, 07:53 PM

And holy SHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

That is all.

Mosaud1998 · 02-07-2023, 08:03 PM

Did it blow up?

Chi_weezy · 02-07-2023, 08:11 PM

Lol. That’s all I use. I left a restaurant the other night, dropped my friend off at his car after a cruise. Anyways, punched it in 1st and left some possie tire melts for about 30’ and bounced off rev limiter and made some of the sickest pops and bangs I’ve heard in a long time. Sounded like a machine gun and lots of turbo noise. Was great.

How long did you own the car before this event?

Slawboss · 02-07-2023, 10:28 PM

I took delivery on Friday.

Oldgixxer · 02-08-2023, 04:15 AM

Congrats. Report back after your 1st launch control attempt

DanG · 02-08-2023, 04:42 AM

Remember that he is still in the 1200 mile breakin period. No launch control should be done until after the breakin service.

Oldgixxer · 02-08-2023, 05:11 AM

Silly me for assuming that was a given

Burrcold · 02-08-2023, 06:03 AM

What year did you end up in?

OP's forum handle used to be "Slowboss". No longer.

Lj_F80 · 02-09-2023, 12:04 AM

I remember when I first picked up my F80. Flew out of state to pick it up and drove it about 9 hours or so home. Was an absolute blast. A couple STIs wanted to race......didn't end up well for them. The next day I realized there were different settings and holy shit did it blow me away. Drove the entire 9 hours in effecient mode

quandary · 02-19-2023, 12:43 AM

Launch control is a blast. I remember how scared I was. Enjoy!

Joy15779 · 02-19-2023, 02:06 AM

The other modalities are useless...

Y'all know the difference between Eco, Sport, and + modes is just throttle mapping not HP, right?

correct but i think you're missing the point. you can't do sport plus stuff in eco mode even though they have the same hp. can maybe do most of it in comfort + stick in sport mode. but sport plus and esp sport plus with the stick to the sport mode + DTC - absolute untamed beast unleashed.

Just keeping everyone straight. I had an argument on another board and see it on YouTube where people actually think there is a HP difference. "My butt dyno tells me..."
