Liv2die Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Both are great cars! But for the price tag of the LFA I could buy 5 GTR's so you be the judge on who takes the title as the best supercar to ever come out of Japan.

BIGGU Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 regardless the LFA sound is way better than the GTR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liv2die Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 regardless the LFA sound is way better than the GTR. Waay Better! Did you catch the part where they said the engine revs from idle to 9k rpm in just over 1/2 a second! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Man the sound of that V10 is so fucking nice. BTW this is a repost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liv2die Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Man the sound of that V10 is so fucking nice. BTW this is a repost. Yeah it is but when evaluating the cars from an overall performance standpoint keeping price in mind I think the Gtr got this one! The LFA is more powerful and faster in a straight line yes but put them on a course together and I think the Gtr would win. If I had 400k to spend on a car and i had to choose between lfa and gtr I'd spend 85k on a gtr and 315k in performance(wouldn't even need that much) to make the lfa look like childs play. Lol btw I searched "lexus nissan" before i opened the tbread and nothing related to this came up. If its a repost tho thats my mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Old video but a great one. That LFA sounds AMAZING!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Anyone seen the the first episode of the new season of Top Gear UK? They had a 0-100-0 test involving the GTR, the LFA and the v8 Atom. Of course, the Atom destroyed, but the LFA destroyed the GTR. It wasn't that far off in acceleration (though the LFA begins putting lengths after 100), but the braking absolutely put the GTr to shame. Im not so sure a GTR would be faster around a track than a LFA, though it may depend on the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 The LFA is a wonderful car that is double the price it should be. Its looks/performance are at a 150k range, and it would sell like hot cakes if priced around that. I guarantee they could sell 20x as many at that price and still not be able to keep them in stock. At 300k, you are looking at a very different buyer and car market - one the LFA does not fit into at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 They are only making 500, they don't care about sales numbers, almost all 500 are spoken for. Joe 500 people disagree with you, and of those 500 all 500 are relevant because they have the cash, you are not relevant. Call me crazy, but I don't think you will see an LFA at a dealer for 6 months with a salesman saying, "we can't give this thing away!".

SpaceGhost Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I was told there are 3 in the country right now and they are paid for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Eat Rice Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Ya this is a very old video I have the Motor Trend mag in my room that this test took place in. You have to also keep in mind that your are comparing a rwd car to a awd car in a dig race. The awd will always have the advantage. The LFA is an amazing car and if I could afford it I would even though it is no more than a glorified toyota. What is even more impressive about the LFA is that Car and Driver put it up against a Ferrari 599GTB and the LFA beat the Ferrari in every important catagory even in price as tested... That is one hell of an accomplishment for a company that has not built a solid sports car since the Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I was told there are 3 in the country right now and they are paid for. Since when could you buy them? Last I heard the $300k was a lease program... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 that is pretty amazing that a V10 screams to 9K rpm in a street car. I have to agree with joe though, 300K seems like a bit much. I mean, i understand it has alot of cool and expensive (im sure) features and such, but when i can get a ZR1 for 120K ish out the door with 640 hp and is a beast on the track, personal opinion of course, but ill save that other 180K.

I can defently understand this, however, you see vettes on a daily basis on the road. Your average person doesn't even know there are 3 types of vettes for sale, but your average person will notice that LFA going down the road because likely they will never see one again. The price is so extreme because everyone does not disserve a car like the LFA it should be saved for a select few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean 6 (or 7 if you count the Z07)... The only thing I like about the LFA is the electronic tach/gauge cluster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
