Nice spot and shot!
Do they just leave these nice cars out in the Phipps Plaza just to draw attention???

If the LFA cost $150,000 then that would be about right. The only Toyota I like is the 2000 GT and that is way over priced.

It is, especially when it costs this much.

Oh I got ya. Sorry about that. Your right, they have produced nice sports cars, but to venture into Ferrari Lamborghini territory is just wrong

I can't believe it either, but I was just responding to you saying that they didn't have the proper heritage or history.

Nothing wrong with Toyota and thank you, but I knew what cars Toyota built, I'm saying why pay $400K for this thing

Toyota actually has made some great cars. They made the 2000GT, also considered to be Japan's first supercar. Plus there was the Toyota Supra, which was an absolute performance bargain.

I can't believe people would spend that much money on this thing. Buy a proper Exotic with proper heritage and history. It's a TOYOTA for gods sake

Like I said, go analog and get an Aston instead of a LFA, then you could still get a GTR if you really wanted to, or any other car for about $90,000.

But then I'd still end up with a Nissan that, IMO, looks less sporty than any of their Z cars and requires no driving skill other than go, stop, and turn. And I'd have spent over $200k on it; talk about fail.

I'm just not in the GTR fan club and never will be.

@qcraimir I you have the money for an LFA and considered buying it, you could save 300 grand and buy a GT-R obviously. And you are right with the statement about after 1/4 mile the LFA would win, but if you put 140mm turbos in the GT-r, put a fast intake and just change maybe the exhaust the GT-r will beat that LFA no problem. If you saved that 300 grand by not buying the LFA you can put another 100,000-150,000 into the GT-R and it will be quicker than a Veyron and you would still save 200,000-150,000.

I just think it has no style at all. It looks like any other Nissan.

It's all a matter of opinion. I personally like the GT-R. I think it's a very reasonably priced super car.

r8lover, I agree with that completely.

Davis313, the GTR is so quick because, on top of its AWD traction and launch control programming, it also has incredibly short gearing in its first 3 or 4 gears. But after about 125 mph, it starts to "struggle" compared to its competition with similar power but better aerodynamics and gearing, etc.

Also, while the GTR may beat the LFA to 60, look at both of their speeds and times to speeds after that, especially after 100. Once traction becomes a non-issue, the LFA starts gaining ground on the GTR, and past the 1/4 mile, really starts to reel it in. They may be close in the 1/4 mile, but from a rolling start or say a drag race in the standing mile, the LFA is the quicker car. Comparing the 1/4 mile speeds of the GTR and cars with similar power, the GTR's competition posts higher trap speeds, suggesting that while they may not have the launch of the GTR, they have the top end that it lacks.

The GTR's advantage is all in its launching capabilities and computer programming.
