right...it's more than 3 times the price of the GTR, yet it's only 10 seconds off the pace, in the green hell a 10 seconds difference is nothing

LFA, just another overpriced toyota

well.. look at it this way.. the car is rare.. onlt 500 unit was prodused.. so it is a limited edition.. and very exclusive.. GTR is too common now... BTW... so what if it is a toyota.. it is a great car... dont just judge the car by just its brand....

yes it's a rare car, and it's also a SUPERCAR, which means it's built for 1 purpose - speed.

so if a rare, super expensive supercar is SLOW compared to a common man's ROAD CAR (which the GTR really is, it just happens to have supercar speeds), it is totally USELESS in my dictionary. i'm not judging the car by it's brand but really, this supercar took so long to make and it's in the Pagani territory, at least make it much much faster than that Datsun, not to mention this is the Nurburgring edition (which is supposed to be fast in ...errr I don't know -- THE NURBURGRING???)

and again, it's a fxcking toyota with a posh badge.

BTW LFA is a Hypercar.. and it is not slow compare to the GTR cos its NA and not all wheel drive...but it has 50-50 balance weight which is perfect on track compare to the GTR and in long dinstance drag it will also beat the GTR... furthuremore they are also able to a smaller engine but with a biiger output to reduce fuel consumption and car weight... i will say that the LFA is flawless... Only suky thing is yeah.. its 3 times more expensive then the GTR...

no it's NOT a hypercar, it's not near mad enough, it has a hypercar price tag though. say all u want about the specs and stuff, the reality is, the special special Nurburgring edition which is supposed to be super fast at the green hell is only 10 seconds quicker than that Datsun, full stop.

People ask mr A "hey what car u have?"
Mr A= "got nissan gtr"
People= "oh my friend also got, black one, that car is some kind of joke, affordable but faster than ferrari"

Then they ask mr B= "whats your ride?"
Mr B = "emmm.....lexus lfa"
People = "what?!! come pls let me and my friend take a look....plsss....i beg u....
Then everybody follow mr B to his car, including Mr A.

Iam sure mr A will feel sad being neglected by the crowd...eventho he got the car as fast as LFA and just 1/3 the price. And people around town will talk about about Mr B and his LFA many more month.

It is the price, rarity n supercar looks that count........even hot girls love rare car.....

u totally missed the whole point...ahem, we are talking about speed and about how the LFA sucks in it.

 

[alantjw]

but is still beats the GTR and that is what matters... excluding brand and price of the car that is.. XD

u thinks its easy to shave 10 sec? lexus even say that they use the same tyre as the 'standard' LFA...with 1740kg, the GTR, will never,EVER reach that time unless it shave its weight meaning =carbon fiber all over=crazy price tag
