Will be tough to get that boosted HP and not deal with heat issues and performance consistency given what's already happening with FI M-cars. With exception of guys who track them, for most prob won't matter. But agree that around an 8.0 lbs/hp doesn't look as interesting as some of the earlier speculation (around 7.6-7.7) and makes a trade up to the new model a little less compelling on the margin (however, the more I see the F80 M3 sedan looks wise, the more I like it).
