Not going to crap on the i8...but with 150k in hand...i8 or 10 year old F430....BMW...all I'm saying is make the i8 what it should have been all along

Sigh. It's a transition vehicle that BMW let us drive. Its point is not to have a huge amount of horsepower or lots of weight. It's a demonstration in compromises.
Stick with your 10 year old Ferraris. Trust me, you'll be happier. |
Eh, I've driven 430 plenty of times. I think in the real world the traction and torque of the i8 would make the performance pretty similar until speeds got up there.
Ferrari is obviously much more raw and fun though. Hard to beat the prancing horse although if the i8 had 100 more hp and wider tires it'd be unreal.
Also, with what lease deals are on the i8, it's basically a $100k car to me. I know MSRP on mine was $150+ but the lease price just doesn't reflect that. Taking that into account it's a bargain.
