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.

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

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

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..."
