r tune in a v8s ?

The difference is apparently solely software - the engines are mechanically identical. With that said, the R coupe isn't markedly faster than the V8S - it's not going to be massively noticeable. I've genuinely never been driving the V8S and thought to myself, "you know, the one thing this car needs is another 50 hp".... And when the top down, it sure feels faster (and louder) than driving in a hardtop.

That's because you have not experienced 550HP or even 600HP. If you had you would love that little bit extra. It does make a difference.
I have a little over 600HP in my 997 Turbo S. It is markedly quicker than the V8S. Do I wish the V8 S came with the 550HP the R does, oh hell yea!
If you are a pilot, which I am guessing, you can never have too much power! (Well within reason of course)

my daily driver is highly modded e55 with 539rwhp, my last 2 seater supercharged z06 with methanol injection running over 640 rwhp... car was a blast to drive i just didn't like the interior , i just like having more power than i need , i like the power on the v8s just always want a bit more from a stock car... I've had it less than 2 weeks and still breaking it in , hope to drive the snot out of it soon. was getting a bit curious about a tune and or a tune and pulley upgrade

*What you feel in your aircraft is not the SHP of the engines, but the thrust. In the same way, you can only feel the torque (as multiplied by the transmission) as this is what the engine in the Turbo S actually makes. Put simply: In a car, BHP is (potential) top speed; Torque is how quickly you get there.

No doubt the tires take a beating, but oh the torque! I think when you start getting into the performance range that these cars are in all wheel drive starts to make a lot of sense. I know it adds weight but especially in 1st and 2nd gear at WOT the AWD makes huge difference hooking up.
Wonder if we will see an AWD option in the future as the F Type gets even more powerful.
