Ive driven it, owned 3 other M157 engines. The car is strong in both acceleration and sound. The transmission is weak via paddle shifters but the S+ mode is fine and every M157 Ive owned had a tune and with this tune the car shifts better and the throttle is awesome. I obviously drove a stock one but the 577hp is very prevalent along with the 590 lb/ft of tq. Good car.

Looks are subjective but the front needs some acquiring. I drove this exact car a few weeks back and its actually not bad in person. Boy does it sound good and I love the way the car roars from a launch. I always felt the F10 and F13 (owned both) cars lacked sound and this car kills it in that category.
