There is an optical illusion there because the camera is close to the car. But there is more toe-in available on the M-07. Kit build is for 3.2 degrees.

On the topic of shocks, it is a bit odd that Tamiya have decided to base it around an "in-between" shock length that can only be made by combining parts or adding spacers. I have both types available so if (when ) I get an M-07 I will be able to play around to get the best setup.

On the topic of speed, we had two M-07s at our last club meeting. Small carpet track. One racer seemed to make a big step forward compared to his M-05, the other seemed to be a little bit back from where he was previously but he did have some issues with his motor. Both were built entirely as per kit. My M-05 couldn't match the cornerspeed of the M-07s but it was a layout that needed a lot of braking and I am not very good at that.
