Max bias engaged…
Initially I thought I’d never own it because of looks. Seeing the actual car in Black Saphire Metalic that’s no longer the case. I really like it from most angles, and don’t hate it from the less pleasant ones.
The S58, carbon buckets, and carbon roof are all very appealing and I had a moment last night where I considered turning my 2017 F87 into a 2023 G87 but one thing stopped me.
The weight:
My manual, slicktop N55 M2 weighs roughly 3390 and a manual, carbon roof, carbon bucket G87 weighs 3790+
I use these cars as a dual duty daily and weekend track tool and just can’t live with 3790+ on track, lap times be damned. There is more to track driving than lap time.
The power/weight of this G87 is worse than a FBO BM3 N55 F87 so it’s impossible for me to justify. I’ll be putting my sheckles towards Recaros, more power via HPFP/TTE460, and my track tire budget.
