This is just speculation, but I would hazard to guess that if you drove a LF-A and a GTR back to back, the LF-A would probably leave you with the bigger smile. GTRs are a dime a dozen in Socal, you don't see too many LFAs in comparison and they definitely have more presence on the street.

It's all a matter of priorities. The LF-A is exclusive. It definitely has the presence, as it's a richer-than-rich-boy toy.
But the GTR can fight it at the track for a fraction of the cost.
Similar to a Vette taking on a Ferrari. If tuned properly, maybe the Vette pulls the Ferrari at a track, but then when you drive them both into town, everyone ooh's and ah's over the Italian, because Vettes are cheaper and more common.
