you'd expect a sports car that costs 3-4 times as much as the other sports car to go faster than "barely" beating the GTR.

its a beautiful car.... but i like the GTR better because it cost way cheaper, and by the video the LFA barely got away. spend another $100k on the GTR and i am sure it will smoke that LFA like nothing.

i can put $100,000 into a mid 90's astrovan and it'll smoke the LFA by a longshot and still have $300,000 in the bank, does that mean u'll take the astrovan over the LFA?

this car better be worth and have the build quality for the price. I was all for the GTR until i heard about the transmission problems. I guess you pay for what you get. They were originally comparing a GTR to a porsche 911 turbo. The 911 turbo was twice the price of the gtr, but they were basically head to head, but you wont see a porsche 911 turbo with transmission problems.

I must say comparing the two both are awesome cars. Most of us would say the GTR would be good enough but the lf-a is exclusive. and THAT is the true meaning of a super car, yes its fast but seeing yourself as the ONLY one. That's epic.

Is it just me or does the hood of the LFA fit really poorly?
As far as Japanese cars go, you can't really beat a GTR for value.

If you watched Top Gear Richard Hammond would explain to you that it's a "special intake" in a very Hammond way.
