Of course there will always be faster cars for less money, but that doesn't mean it isn't valuable in its own right.

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.
