    Man so I’ve spent a lot of time behind the wheels of 720S, probably close to 2000 miles or so.

    It’s a really fast car with great steering feel, but I am really so so about it when compared to some of its contemporaries for some reason. Every time before I get in I am excited to drive it but usually after an hour or so I just get…. bored?? The engine doesn’t sound special and is laggy unless you drive like an asshole, and the steering manages to have decent feedback but also be non-memorable at the same time.

    To be fair I’ve only driven it on nice public roads, maybe it will shine on the track.

    But anyway that’s probably why I’m slightly interested in the 750S. It’s supposed to make it feel less clinical by giving it things like a better sounding exhaust and quicker steering ratio.

      I’ve never driven a McLaren, but I have driven all kinds of other cars and the car I’ve driven that feels the most driver oriented is the Lotus Exige. I think 430hp stock with BMW 6 cylinder on a 1000kg car and can easily be tuned to 550. Doesn’t really have any electronic tech to make you a good driver. It’s a street legal track car and your ass feels connected to the road. Totally different class of car but it is a drivers car and it is not boring at any time. They have Emeya coming out soonish?
