I'll be all over that car if I'm fortunate enough to get the opportunity! That car is going to rip the track up and I think once we see it in a more appropriate color it will change a lot of opinions. A lot of people hated the 720 when it was first revealed - now its the beauty queen.

IMO the 720 is a very ugly car also - it’s no beauty queen.

It’s just awful. What were they thinking? Does trying to seek an extreme laptime in a roadcar justify no thought at all as to aesthetics? It’s still a roadcar. It does need to look good. And this just doesn’t, at all. Marlboro livery is the best, but only because it really disturbs the lines of the car.

And no, the 720 is no beauty queen. It has a mess of a front, and the bubble cockpit (a la Ford probe) is not a fine feature. It has an exquisite side profile but average rear and terrible barge boards leading up to the front arches.

I don't care much about aesthetics, but the problem is that this car isn't just not attractive, it's actually unattractive.

@CJ
congrats on the BAC Mono franchise expansion. I've always really liked that car. I hope some of the early customer support/warranty issues have been hashed out.
