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...
