Are they going to produce any more of them to replace the ones that were destroyed? That would be an extremely long wait though.

yeah LFA i think literally is the best sounding car ever

ducky · 04-14-2011, 04:10 AM

Just wow..both are nice though..

The only thing nice in the LFA beside it's look is the formula like sound. '12 GTR will def smoke it in all aspects.

HKYStormFront · 04-14-2011, 09:26 AM

substantially faster... interesting. do love the sound of the LFA but honestly that's about all i love about it. the interior looks nice but i just can't stand the way it looks, maybe i just need to see one in person...

Lfa sounds amazing the gtr is great. Lfa when dynowed only put out 515 stock has potiential for more especially tuned correctly. I would expect more for a 250k car.you can buy two gtrs and still have extra cash to play with. But the lfa exhaust.....not human freaking amazing

Try a 375k car

the LFA driver was slower getting off the line. Watch the brake lights carefully as to who starts first.

In the end they were closer than I thought based on the thread title.

I wish they would run each car a few times on a proper strip and time that and compare. vs one run on uneven roads.

It was late less than half a second off the line. It was like 1-1/2 second behind at the end. For $250K more than the GT-R, it shouldn't be a contest. Just goes to show how remarkable the GT-R has been engineered. At a road course, like the 'Ring, its probably a toss-up based on driver skill. The quickest LF-A on the 'Ring was at 7:38 with temporary road tires available.

It would have been cool to see a few more runs or at least record the times and trap speeds, but this pretty much gets the point across.

As if the only factor behind a super car are the numbers.

I can only imagine the driving thrill and experience in the LFA is much superior to the GTR. As much as I can respect the GTR's amazing performance envelope, every time I have ridden in one it felt undramatic and even a bit boring from the passenger seat. I believe this is a somewhat similar example to the 370z vs. Cayman S comparison: the 370z may hit the same or similar performance numbers but the Cayman is exquisitely refined and tactile while providing those numbers.
