720s is more of a fast and furious stop light drag racing, it is a car for drivers with zero skills.
No way. It has 700+ hp (from a turbo engine) and rear wheel drive. Anything but "safe" or "easy".

720s is faster only in straight line.
On the track it's a draw and somewhat a shame for a car with over 700hp.
The scoring is a complete joke.
