in that case the LFA doesnt even beat the GTR... i dont know what it would run under different circumstances but GTRs run 11.5 stock all day long not 11.9 like that video showed

Watched the head-to-head of a GT-R against an LFA from C&D. GT-R got the jump (barely, but did), and they said they babied the LFA and didnt even want to contemplate damaging it, and it still edged the GT-R out.

Furthermore, they said anywhere past the quarter mile, the LFA just made the GT-R look dumb, as it started pulling and pulling.

Now, you cant tell me that someone ****** up the launch on the GT-R and the LFA somehow still edged it out?

that was a pretty slow 1/4 mile run but i guess conditions are the same for the LFA at the time so..... who knows

All I'm saying is this: if anyone's going to **** up a 1/4 mile run AFTER the jump, in an AWD car? They may as well retire from drag racing lol. ESPECIALLY one with the vaunted launch control.

Wow thats cool.. i learned about this in highschool. The car's exhaust had the same resonance as the champagne class.. Man i wish i had this commercial to demonstrate resonance in HS, boy would i have been a physicist!

Its not just conditions I have run at that track and for 1 they raced on it backwards so there was no rubber giving the AWD car the obvious advantage but yes the conditions there SUCK I ran 3/10ths faster at another track with the same set up

Guys definately did NOT post this to become a balls battle between the gtr and LFA. I just posted it, b/c it is strictly a very cool video. They spent some money doing that im sure, but its just a cool idea and the sound of this car is everything and more.

Nick911sc · 06-04-2010, 08:36 PM

Can you honestly compare the LFA to the GT-R at that price point? Shouldn't it go up against real super cars? lol

TBH for that price difference it should **** all over the GT-R. But it doesn't do that much better than anything in that price range.. I'd love to see it go up against a million of the other cars that are cheaper than it.

HKYStormFront · 06-04-2010, 09:09 PM

yea this^^^ the fact that the GTR can keep up with the car that is (as described on top gear) "an engineer's wet dream" speaks volumes for the R35. imagine how insane an R35 with the kind of money an LFA costs would be... of course then it's "only" an R35. i will give them the fact that might be one of the top 5 best sounding engines ever, especially for a road car

Chris_1 · 06-05-2010, 12:53 AM

The car is really beautiful, and the sound is just amazing. Aston martins used to be my favorite sounding cars, but now the LFA has become #1.

HKYStormFront · 06-05-2010, 02:56 PM

yea and i bet that car is pretty much maxed out, there might be room for forced induction but that would defeat the purpose of the car. especially on such a limited production car, i would be surprised to see hardly any mods for it

and who would even be able to find a car in order to tune it? they only will make 500 in total. besides, this car seems to high tech for a tuner to modify easily. and don't forget that you lease it, not own it. so i'm sure toyota would veto any attempted upgrade.

Anytime I hear this, I always look at Porsche's, Lambo's or Ferrari's where you think the same thing...and yet some aftermarket company comes out with a twin turbo kit for them and they run 1XXX HP.
