If the difference between a depreciating asset you don't enjoy and one you do enjoy is determined by putting the power down, an investment of under $1,000 would resolve your concerns.
If you re-shod the F80 with it's 255/275 MPSS OEM rubber, yes it has trouble hooking up. If, you spent a bit more per tire and put on RE-71R, or 265/295 MPSS, or MPSC2s or the same Alfa tire - the F80 will hook right up.
Only speaking from my personal experience going to both RE-71R and also 295 MPSS out back though, what do I know.

Nice theory, but it’s not the tires. Even with snow tires on each car on a dry road the Alfa hooks up better. I had both in the garage at the same time. There is a meaningful difference.
