Finally gave it the Beans...

So I've had my G87 for about a month now, have a whppping 450 miles. I usually follow the break-in process, make sure the vary the RPM, warm the motor up, don't go over 4K RPM. I was at the stop light and looked at the virtual owners manual which said for the first 600 miles, keep it under 5K RPM and over 600 get it up to 6K. I'm like, F it I'm close enough.
Open road, threw it into M2, put the gauges into track mode and hit it up to 6K.

Current mods are KW H.A.S. and spacers on stock wheels.
Power delivery, compared to my 2020 F87C, totally different experience. Where the F87C felt like a muscle car with low to mid range punch, it ran out of steam in the top end. It overwhelmed the tires and was a hoot.
The G87 though, feels like an old school turbo car where the power delivery is all up top. When it hits, it hits and hits hard. The car seriously pulls after 4K. Again, I got it up to 6K so the sample is relatively small but for people that are worried this car doesn't perform, forget about that shit. It's absolutely fucking fast.
Another difference between the F87C & the G87 are the handling characteristics. The G87 has sharper turn in and is able to put the power down. On a track, I guarantee you, the G87 is faster.
It's just a different experience. I loved my F87C and I'm absolutely loving the G87 so far.
Instead of bitching and moaning about a car changing, drive it, the thing is absolutely a monster. After the break-in, I'll give yall the full report and a honest comparison between my F87C. But for now, take my word for it, this car absolutely rocks.
