Let’s face it, even if we are Lexus/Toyota Fanboys, the IS-F is fast, but not supercar status. The Monster 1LR-GUE is the main reason the LF-A is any good. It revs too fast for analog rpm gauge and has a nasty torque/powerband. nice, except its twice as much as other cars in its performance level. Nice try Lexus, but they are still too new to be a serious contender Couple things- the LF-A doesn’t have a bigger engine than the IS-F. The engine is smaller actually. 4.8 liters versus 5.0. The engine is a “monster” yes, maybe in terms of technology but not in overall size or torque. As a small V10 capable of revving to 9000 rpm, yes it’s unique, but for less than half the price, you can get a really nice looking car with a V10 revving out to 8700 (R8 5.2). What makes this car unique is that it was designed and built at a company that makes its bread and butter with soul-less vehicles that are more like appliances. (Don’t take this as a knock on Toyota/Lexus, I appreciate them just as much as you and the next guy) But that’s one of the main reasons it costs so much to produce. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/zr1s-competiton-from-lexus/250121)._
