And? So, a stock car that costs 400K barley edged out another stock car that costs 80K or whatever. Put a full exhaust on each car and rerun the race… Here we go again. LFA=unimpressive for 400K, despite all the fancy bodywork and gauges. Buying one just shows that you’re either one of the biggest Lexus nutswingers in the world, have too much money to know what to do with, or both. ---

Here’s the thing that I see… a $375,000 car running the 1/4 only .4 seconds faster than an $80,000 car. LFA seems nice, but I think the GT-R still out performed it. And that’s not just me being a Nissan fag. ---

Toyota engineers know (or used to know) turbocharging well, they could of made an Enzo killer for ‘not much’ more money. Thing could of made over 800 easy. ---

The basis of a street cars performance (weather it’s a ‘supercar’, ‘musclecar’, etc), is it’s straight line acceleration capabilities.

Nice car, just priced too high. I think they should offer a factory TT setup and dominate for that price, but thats just my .02 ---

Don’t get me wrong, the car is sick. Sounds like an F1 car, looks like a million bucks. Problem is, it performs like $100,000 at most. The reasons it’s so expensive: 1) It’s handbuilt. Big whoop, so’s the GT-R. 2) It’s limited edition. Again, big whoop, so’s the V Spec. 3) It’s carbon fiber. I suppose this can be justified, but so is the Lotus Elise. 4) and the biggest one… It’s got a Lexus badge. This one really grinds my gears. ---
