Looking at the lightning laps between the two cars, I wonder how much faster the 720s would have went if it was fitted with a more aggressive tire layout from McLaren.
I hear you on the sound aspect. McLaren's are underwhelming in that arena. How was the reliability of your 720s? I always hear mixed reviews.

No issues with the reliability of the 720s, they are more reliable the newer you buy. Mine was a 2022 model, I've heard the earlier models had more issues. Every once in a while the electronics would throw a random light in the dash on startup. It's a known issue in the 720s but it wouldn't affect anything and would clear itself on the next startup. The 720s is a BEAST though in a straight line, I would make the argument that its power is probably slightly underrated since these cars can trap over 140mph in the 1/4. It sits lower than the Z06 so you feel like you're sitting on the ground, but feels fantastic when going through the turns.
