Word, very few cars can justify a sub 130 trap for 100K+++++, and a Lexus is not one of them. Honestly, trap speed is one of the most underrated and misunderstood stats in automotive media.

Doesn’t even have that much to do with the drag-racing aspect of the car, either, it’s the overall “speed,” in a word. PRACTICAL speed, not 0-60 or top speed, the two USELESS numbers the “magazines” love to use.

If there’s anyone who says speed shouldn’t matter in a HYPERcar… I dunno :lol

Yeah, trap speed is only what you feel when you press the go pedal, why would the buyer of a 100K+ car care about that?

I love when people buy cars for curb appeal and nothing else.

A hypercar that isn’t even REMOTELY fast in the $50,000-1,500,000 price range FTL.

Bargain hunters… Yeah, I think the $80,000+ GT-R is the best bang for your buck ever. $80,000 is a hell of a bargain, let me go buy 3 tomorrow!

Anything over 300k might as well be $5,000,000,000,000, only .00001% of enthusiasts could ever afford one

LFA is hideous, way too boy racer looking. I really dont understand why anyone would want one, theres so many better options for less money. Could almost buy a ZR1 and 599 GTB for the price of the Lexus.

I rather have a 10sec Mirage…because it’s faster than both of these in a dragrace and that’s all that matters EVER. /sarcasm

I’d rather have the GT-R and spend the remaining money to rape pretty much anything on the planet. 'Nuff said.
