I had the chance to see a 748R alongside a 749R at the weekend. It was like beauty and the beast in that order. The 748R looked like it meant business, the 749R looked like the ugly barge it is. |
well those who claim its limp cant be riding it properly. Am sure I read recently that a 749 was quicker to 65 than a 999. On top of that at day 2 at Cadwell I spent most of the second day being held up by people on 916s, and I am no track god, it was only my first time on track. Fact is, its fast enough for most.
Looks are a matter of taste, I'd take a 749 everytime though I would like to add a 748R to the garage
