I hella agree! Honestly, for 400K, I'd buy a decent sized house, keep my G37s, and prolly get a nice SUV like the new QX! Sounds hella better then one Lexus lol

for 1500 you can get the midpipe restriction taken out, putting the GT-R to 535 whp (on a mustang), with that, you will smoke an LFA.

The LFA is a work of art. Why compare it with a demeaning drag race that it was never designed for?

i agree with that 100%. i heard something about it being the only 1 in the country and they only had it for a few hours, even though that should be plenty of time

I would upgrade the GTR with Hennessey parts to 800hp or so and use the rest of the money (around 300k) on a nice house with a three-car-garage.

Hennessey GTR800 Nissan GT-R


Power • 813 hp @ 6,500 rpm
• 704 lb-ft Torque @ 4,100 rpm

Performance • 0-60 mph: 2.6 sec. (stock = 3.4)
• 0-100 mph: 6.2 sec. (stock = 8.3)
• 1/4 mile: 10.5 sec. @ 136 mph (stock = 11.8 sec. @ 118 mph)

With 1500 i got mine going 0-60 in 2.8 and 1/4th mile in 10.8, those numbers dont add up to me

I agree with this guy. I don't believe the LFA was meant to be straight-line drag racing. I can understand some people wanting a 375K car to be able to outrun an 85K car but these are different animals. If the GTR beats an LFA on a track of turns and curves, that would be the ultimate diss to the LFA.

The LFA is a sweet looking car....exotic-like but the front end is very weak. I would definitely get one if, and I mean if it were in the 150-200L range and I had the cash.

I'm a Lexus fan but this is different....that car ain't worth 375K. I bet people buy them all up, though.

The entire production run has been sold out for months. From an engineering standpoint, this is worth more than the price tag. The production run is limited because they lose money on every unit sold.

The technologies discovered and created for this car will eventually trickle down to the rest of their product lines in some way shape or form. Toyota is definitely moving in the right direction.

Now, WTF is Honda doing? Rumor has it the HSV010 may get a consumer version; it is already production ready.

Funny thing, I saw a Hennessey GTR800 the other week. Some rich 19 year old kid from the Emirates was taking delivery. Its unbelievable. I wish I took pictures
