Numbers look pretty good for just downpipes and a tune...

Had my previous 570s done and they are mega fun, not much difference between a DMS 570 and a standard 720 but it seemed more manageable due to the analogue suspension, I'm not a fan of the fancy stuff in the 720.

The analogue suspension in the 570s is not going to make it more manageable, the opposite in fact. ARB's connect the wheels along an axle and on bumpy roads can result in lack of contact along that axle. The suspension on a Super Series does away with the ARB and therefore the wheels operate independently, improving the likelihood the wheels are in contact with the road and therefore how manageable the power would be. And it is very noticeable. Take a standard car down your favourite B road then take a 650/720 etc, you will most certainly notice how much more stable the car is and how much more comfortable you are at speed.

765lt 0-60 in 2.3 seconds
1/4 mile in 9.3

as a stock car that's faster than the chiron and must be the fastest in the world right now aside from perhaps the chiron supersport

I watched that last night, some very impressive figures! I think the 0-60 was 2.1 wasn't it, not 2.3?

Trust me, I've had two 720 and two 570 so I'm well versed, and as I said and maintain- to me it seems more manageable.

Must be down to tyres or the road surface at the time then. Doesn't make sense otherwise.

The only way I can describe it without contradicting myself is that the 720s suspension is too good, to the point where i feel it doesn't give any feedback, it's like keeping the car so stable i struggle to find its limits - hopefully that makes sense

I do think maybe in your case the 720 had less than optimal tyres or perhaps the alignment was out. I was surprised just how much feedback my 720 gives, feels very Lotus like in that respect. Helped by the fact Mclaren have stuck with hydraulic steering. If mine was like how you describe your experience, I'd have sold it already. I only really enjoy cars if they are fun to drive, give you loads of feedback and reward you. I've also got an Exige and a track-prepped bike engined Westfield, so gives you an indication of what I look for in cars
