The 600LT would be a better choice for track usage.

 

675LT or 600LT would be a better choice indeed

 

Why is that?

 

Thanks guys. I appreciate the LT models are probably more track focused but for a number of reasons I prefer the 720.

I would like to put wider Trofeos on if possible but I know they do like quite bit of negative camber to work properly (my GT3 runs 4.5 deg to get it to work). So wondering what adjustments can be done and whether wider wheels/tyres will fit?

 

There’s a bunch of track threads for the 720s. Most are about swapping out brakes for steel set up

Some about camber and some people like good year tire vs Michelin

 

Best Track Tires 720S

I have Pirelli P-Zero Corsa NCS tires on my new 720s, but want to get good grippy track tires once they wear out. I’ve tried R888R on my previous 570s and they understeered. Another 720s owner who is a million times better than me on track reported the same issue. I’ve heard the Goodyear Eagle...

Hi everyone. I’m considering changing my 991.2 GT3 to a 720S. The primary usage will be a track car (twice a month) but I still want the flexibility of driving to the track. Questions for people that track their 720S:

1. Anyone have experience with changing to wider wheels/tyres . Was thinking 265/325 Trofeos?
2. How adjustable is the suspension in terms of height/camber/etc.

Thanks.

The issue is it eats pads and disks BIG TIME.

Here in the UK owners swap to Movit brakes, IIRC, made in the USA. So if you are happy to fund its brake habit its a fast and fun track that can be driven elsewhere.

Are they ceramic equivalent or steels? And how do they compare to Surface Transforms?

I have not gone wider. I'm using the Goodyear F1 Super Car 3R tires (just as good as trofeo's in my mind). A lot cheaper also. They don't have 245 fronts like the stock corsa's. 600 LT stock size is 225. I'm using the 235 on fronts for both cars and stock size on the rears.

The suspension isn't as adjustable as 600 LT (According to the shop that did mine (attached).

Get the aftermarket rotors/pads before your first track day (Many of us here have giro/cobalt). There seems to be an issue with Cobalt pads as they are not responding anymore to orders. Giro has given me another pad solution which I will be trying out the next track day.

Just a note; 720s is way more powerful then a gt3, gt3rs, 600 LT, 675. Everything changes.... Where you brake, where you get to full power, etc. My experience has been that people haven't been able to go as fast from gt3, gt3rs to a more powerful car such as GT2rs. It might take you some time to adjust to the speed of 720s. Probably 3 to 4 track days to adjust). More then a few people I know went back to gt3/gt3rs after tracking GT2rs a handful of times. They would have eventually gotten faster in the more powerful gt2rs but they weren't able to handle the extr

Thanks Unmac. Appreciate the insight. If the most camber I can get it -1.5, I think I may have to use the Goodyear’s or Corsas as the Trofeos do like a lot of it. Do you find a lot of outside wall wear with that little camber?

Will definitely will want to change the discs/pads. Do you change out the discs/pads before every inspection as to not have any potential warranty issues.

 

Another question re lowering springs. Lowering center of gravity and at the same time increasing neg camber sounds good. Any detrimental effect on track?

 

Misha Charoudin's channel on YouTube, has several great videos on pounding on the 720s on the Nurburgring taxiing zillions of folks around daily.

This video might be of particular interest, as they go into the costs:

This video is where they mention 40K kilometers on it ("all on the ring!.... "no major issues just maintenance"):

I am personally in the process of buying the 720 s for 99% street use, after a solid year of dreaming, diving rental exotics, and research. I'll track it for official McLaren events only since I want to keep my warranty intact and such.
