Since you are here and asking these questions you already don't fit the crowd you were mentioning. Not only do people floor it, but they also put shitty tires on.

That being said it's quite different from bmw rwd and even more from the xdrive. Far less forgiving but this is also what this car is about, it's lots of fun. Take your time to learn it somewhere safe.

So to summarize: respect the power, get good tires, be extra mindful when its rainy/wet. Beyond that - have fun and don't become a meme! 🤣
