I'm interested in seeing measurable data as well as a seat of the pants report.
Seat of the pants and head to head race reports are as follows: from the driver's seat the car felt completely normal in Eco and comfort. Kicking it to sport and stepping hard on the gas the car still feels pretty much like a stock i8 initially but soon you notice that the car is pulling a lot harder at speeds where the electric motor isn't assisting as much. During our race the tuned car was getting a slight jump on me (I attribute that to the increased torque) then as speed climbed the gap kept getting bigger thanks to his extra 56whp.
