    You guys don’t have to buy a Lexus LFA(i wish i could) because it sold out already.

    i’ll take 3 please

  3. ManiacMartin00 says:

    @jamcousi9 true, both examples illustrate the point I was trying to make.

  4. 05altimaser9 says:

    Damn that was pretty close.

  5. jamcousi9 says:

    @ManiacMartin00 You can take a beat up late 80’s/early 90’s Mustang and spend a quarter of that and spank a GT-R

    @wattsornott234

    LMAO… fuck you are stupid…. what do you think a drive you dumb fuck???? yes big boy its a Toyota…. yes your right, i do read magazines……..its sad that you can only read pictures in magazines……FUCKING IDIOT

    @akaakaae Exactly. In all honesty, this looks like it should have been a new Supra. It has a Supra look to it, just obviously more modern and up to date. 100k, fine. 400k, I would have to think long and hard about that.

    I’m sure a $400,000 Skyline would beat a $400,000 Lexus.

    @NemesisProject1 The R35 Spec V is out and it ran 11 sec flat in a quarte mile.

    LFA is a nice car no doubt about it…. but i i think its over priced i would not spend 400 grand …..with that even if im a millionare …… now with 400 grand i can get A skyline GTR, YAMAHA R1, GMC Topkick C4500, AND A CONDO …. ALL PAID OFF

  11. ManiacMartin00 says:

    @akaakaae You could take a beat up Supra and spend 40,000 and beat the GT-R, it really comes down to what your taste is.

  12. ManiacMartin00 says:

    @bigkckrva It might take the LFA from a dig, but its still 2 seconds slower around the ring, and thats what matters.

  13. akaakaae says:

    if you have an extra $400k laying around, here’s an idea. Buy a GTR for $80,000, then put $320,000 of modifications into it and then see who wins.

  14. qazxnx08 says:

    the LFA is unattractive and looks like the old Dotson Z’s. Not to mention the car looked like it couldn’t corner worth beans.

  15. Hossfly83 says:

    So basically u buy a GTR for $60k, and a LF-A for $400k i dont think the LfF-A is worth the extra $340k to BARELY beat a GTR which isn’t a ” Super Car” And as cool as it looks, give me the GTR for 1/5 of the price, kthnx

  16. youngsterx07 says:

    these test are fuckin bullshit , comparing a car that has almost a 100 bhp diff obviously the higher one is gonna win GTR FTW !

  17. bigkckrva says:

    @NemesisProject1 just get the Switzer P800 GTR and call it the day. U still can get the Spec V GTR and it can beat the LFA…, but i like both cars..

  18. NemesisProject1 says:

    WELL LETS WAIT TILL NISMO MAKES A Z-TUNED VERSION OF THE R-35

  19. pheniq says:

    @xkg20t so what bout the f40 ??? why was it slower then the r33 round the ring??? the f1 is gonna beat the r33 on a straight line but not on a track or the road….

  20. imadrifai says:

    the GT-R nissan reminds me in linkin park

  21. Kovayaj says:

    400,000….. i take the GTR. NISSAN.

  22. benihanaman says:

    This car looks like 5th gen celica gts and the final gen supra had a baby and it was raised by audi and mario andretti.

  23. wattsornott234 says:

    @ManiacMartin00 haha Ill get you a test drive if you would like. And yes your correct it does correct your mistakes but its so fast I doubt you would care. If I had the money I would drop my 350z tt and take the gtr . Its it own beast and until your drive one you cannot judge it(xkgot). Its an amazing machine. Don;t get me wrong the tt 350z at 11 psi is enough for me but something bout the gtr is just amazing

  24. wattsornott234 says:

    Ok well you read bias reviews and information. Vq engines have won numerous a awards. I dont know what connection you have to lexus but its fanboyish. I think the lfa is great but to saya 350z is rice and a gtr is absurd. They can be riced out but they are not rice in stock . Please stop making a fool outt yourself.

  25. bigkckrva says:

    @xkg20t a GTR a rice car? wtf u been sniffing? for a $400,000 it better put out good flat power band, now put the LFA against the Spec V GTR…
