The price tag on the LF-A is for exclusivity and nothing else..

It is an obvious no-brainer to choose the GT-R over the LF-A as very simple mods to the first will make it considerably faster...

Nissan truly did an awesome job with the R35..

I would take the gtr over the lexus any day, more driver friendly and can take it to the track and drive on the road everyday.

Poor comparison. I'm a big GTR fan...But it should be compared to other exotics, no?

A tune, just a tune and that GTR can smoke the LFA. I'd like to see it up against exotics around it's price.

reading the article it looked like this was a spur of the moment oppurtunity that got presented to them and they didnt have alot of time to organize it..

they did do a lateral G and a few other things around cones besides the drag

This is further proof why the GTR is probably the most expensive car I'd ever buy.

The video was great... I wish that for that much you'd get a dual clutch in the LFA and all wheel drive, that'd be a monster.

he still out trapped you - but that's impressive to that much area under the curve... you are at 11.3 @ 122 he is at 11.8 @ 123 - that's a lot of ground you are making up somewhere... Wonder if its the start or mid-way through the race...

ive trapped 123.xx a few times on a few of my 11.4-11.5 runs.. but the best ET i had was the 122.3 mph run for some reason

i think its at the start i think i had a 1.81 60ft and my 1/8th was like 7.3 or something at 96

my guess is hole shot. i bet the LFA isn't the easiest car to launch vs the GTR with AWD. also i think the LFA is considerably lighter and makes more power so... GTR should loose outright but it doesn't, another testament to the almighty R35
