Running low 9's, making it look easy. Doesn't even look like its going fast (obviously it is!).

Maybe its just me. Yes that crazy quick for a tweaked, production car but does anyone else just think these cars look too alien like or similar to an insect? Id much rather have a Ferrari 488 coupe. Who cares if its slower? These cars arent made for the dragstrip anyway and any of these cars are insanely quick as is. You just keep hearing about these 720s. I know they're a technological marvel and all but Im just not feeling it. Honestly, I think my Viper is better looking.

A friend of mine is the tuner of that car. It is pretty crazy to think that 10 years ago he was building turbo kits and tuning Honda's and Ls powered cars. He moved down to South Florida and now he's building and tuning all kinds of supercars. The other day he had pics of a Ferrari he twin turbo.

488 front end looks very outdated. I think 720S looks awesome in Paris blue or Papaya orange .vipers are nice looking cars too specially gen2 and gen 5

I’d rock a 720s for sure. Almost bought one but decided to buy another house. Anyone else notice the in car footage of the 9.18 second pass? Dude just rocking an almost 8 second pass with jeans and no helmet. Ferrari doesn’t have shit on Mclaren when it comes to the $300k-ish cars, in terms of performance

The 720S is bad ass! Wish the Ford GT had something for these cars... but sadly... no

I’m on my 2nd 720s. Just traded my white 2018 for a 2019 Solis. I’ve had a 488 also and it does not compare in the slightest to any part of the 720. I’ve also had a 570s and it will walk a 488 all day long for about $80-100k less. Not just faster, the ride is as smooth or smoother, just as quiet on the interior, and it also has a better stereo sound from what I could tell. I think the 488 had a slightly better look than the 570 but for the price difference I’d take the 570. When it comes to the 720 it is in a league of its own. Stock 9s in the quarter all day long and take it on the open course and be in the top times with dedicated “track” built cars
