From watching dozends of Youtube Videos I think the 720s is the fastest car you can buy out there. Also - the Performante might be faster on the track, the 720s pushes apparently much stronger on the higher speeds. No doubt - I think this is the most adorable car right now. Just look how the chassis is build around the front seats. Check those windows and roof-windows. The entire car is build in the most optimal way. The Performante is still a car build on top of a common car platform. Total different story. So I think - even if you don't own it RC - it is the best car you can buy right now.
