3) sport plus throttle is ok, compared to F80/F82 which sport plus is too sensitive

4) use sport plus suspension, but use comfort steering

5) you will use much more gas than you expect... like nearly 1/2 tank for a 25-minute session

6) under heavy braking you will feel the weight, but it will handle extremely well

7) take advantage of the 4WD and power out of corners

8) on the non-comp version, I found manually shifting at 6,000 - 6,200 RPM faster than taking it to redline

9) don't use the massage seats

10) enjoy!
Agreed... except #1; I tried both... plus DSC off and I even tried RWD (which obviously mandates DSC off). The latter was as laughable as my talent and perhaps the lack of that is why I found MDM preferable but full DSC stepped in too quickly for my tastes.
