Yeah if my mine goal was just achieving great numbers I'd a GT-R over a lot of other cars. But I'm the type of person who actually places more value on the actual experience of driving. The Porsche Cayman S is World renowned for being the best / one of the best “driver’s car” on the planet. I would take a Cayman S and 15-20k any day over of GT-R but that’s just me. The LF-A is obviously in another league.

edmunds ran a 11.5 @ 125 with the gt-r spec v.

Wow thats poor
 

Just saw a stock Zr1 on a drag radial run a 11.1 @ 132. For 106k it is the king of fast. If chevy had just added another 10 grand to the price and threw in a high tech automatic to smooth the car out it would have been a perfect super car.

Oh yeah, Toyota could have just bought a hundred GTR's from Nissan put about 50k in weight reduction and had a 125,000 dollar 3300 pound LFA destroyer. Maybe they could have called it GTLFAR. That car could have beat the ZR1

I'd love to have the LFA as my next ride.
Beautiful car man, makes me want to cry..

its not just straight line performance. the gtr actually was never meant as a drag racer. its all about track performance, and it does that much better than the zr1. yes, the corvette can be very fast, as fast as or even slightly faster than the gtr, but only in the right hands. anyone less than a professional driver will be unable to handle the zr1 or extract its performance. the gtr on the other hand is much easier to drive consistently. its handling is very predictable and it does not overtax the driver like the zr1 does. for a car relatively speaking that is heavy and underpowered, the gtr posts some very amazing lap times. we still have yet to see any lfa laptimes. what is lexus afraid of?

I think people doing straight number comparisons and commenting on how ridiculous the LFA is are missing the point. First, its not a mass produced car like the GTR is. Second, its the result of ten years of passionate work. Everything about it is crafted so perfectly, how can you even talk about cost and performance "Bang for your buck"? The LFA was probably a dream for its engineers to make.

I agree, while I love both cars its not a good comparison but the price of the lfa is justified by the engineering that went into it imo. If I had the money I would get it just for the sound: YouTube - Lexus LFA: a symphony of sound It also went around Nurburgring in 7:24 :tup:

That price for the LFA is ridiculous,:shakes head: and I thought the price for the GTR was bad.

Plus beating the GTR for less than a car lenght. I was expecting at least a school bus lenght.

also considering a stock GTR actually runs 11.5's

not worth its own thread but pretty cool

The lines of the car are better to me than the GTR. The GTR looks like a tank side by side.

Sweet vid...

Lexus LFA officially sold out

Like woah?

so apparently somebody likes it lol

Ok, 500 sold, not really that impressive but a good start for Toyota.

I waiting for a comparison against the big boys, like the Lambos, Ferraris, Porsches and others.
