Because you've drove a LF-A too, right?

No, I haven't driven an LF-A. In this case I trust the reviews and my personal experience with the GT-R al though that's not really the point. The point is as I've explained, being that test track numbers are far from the only variables that deem a particular automobile superior, worth its price, etc, etc. If you're having troubles comprehending this I truly feel sorry for you.

The GT-R lacks a lot of the credentials most true driving enthusiast desire. Just because an automobile happens to be quicker to one or the other doesn’t by default mean it’s flat out the better car. Now if your life depended on bragging rights and winning stop light races sure the GTR is really hard to beat.

But if you actually like to drive, there are a **** load of automobiles more desirable than a Nissan GT-R believe it or not. This is probably hard for you to swallow seeing as you apparently own a GT-R and think its God’s gift to automobiles. You being a smartass asking “Because you’ve drove a LF-A too, right” just goes farther on to prove just how much in denial you are.

And regardless the only reason the GT-R stands a chance in hell against the LF-A in the ¼ mile is due to AWD. The LF-A has a lot more top end power trapping the ¼ in 124-126 on average. But again, this is besides the point.

Anyone with any real knowledge of cars understands what I’m talking about.

let me translate.... im buying into the magazine hype where atleast once a review someone says that the car drives its self and leaves the driver with no real emotion attachment because it does everything for me

Sure there are other qualities that go into a car's overall value and appeal other than speed, but the point here is pretty obvious: The LF-A is not worth over 300K more than the GTR. Plain and simple. I mean lets be honest, if someone is going to fork out 400K on a car they wont be getting a Lexus when they could buy a lambo, porsche, ferrari, etc

I disagree. worth is based on what your looking for. If you just want pure numbers, yeah its no contest.

but those looks, the exclusivity of owning only one of 500 ever made.

The fact that its going to be different, a bigger head turner than most other cars by far..

All depends on what you want.

If EVERY car purchase was decided purely on numbers, you can say bye bye to ferrari, lamborghini, etc. everyone of those buyers would have a GT-R. Or heck a zr-1. Now dont tell me a zr-1 is "better" than a scuderia?

Its all preference. But until i can "choose" to afford either.. :-D im just not even gonna worry about these 2 cars.
