Hi JCB, everything about the car is great. Even though the car is new, I find that parts support are pretty OK. Prices when compared to older cars are relatively cheaper. Durability? It is not as durable as say the Impact or the older Impulse / 705 but it does take a beating to a certain extent.

All in all, I cannot say that this is the be all and end off of cars. All cars are without fault.

Do you have any 710 running at your local track? Perhaps it is better if you see for yourself the car in person and evaluate it with your own eyes.

I do think that parts support nowadays have generally improved. But if it is still like that where you are, I sincerely suggest you consider the car that has the best support parts wise from the LHS or from the trackside in terms of technical support. My 2 cents.
