Obviously, the story would be different if the power was delivered to the rear wheels; the downward pressure generated would help with increasing power output.

Could you run an experiment on the upgraded i8 and see if you can get a better 0-60 than a stock i8 while only on e-drive? If you succeed, I want to know why. Was it because of improved suspension?

PS: I'm actually not an expert in this area. So, feel free to correct me if I'm incorrect about how I understand things.
next time we tune one, I'll record it!
