Imagine you own an LFA, imagine you are out at dinner and then you hear this, "Would the owner of the silver Lexus please move it you are in a red zone"

$400k or not, its still a Lexus lol.

From a VERY safe distance.
Haha..... Yup no doubt
if you have the money to buy that car, you probably have the money to keep it running til your grandkids are around.

Thats not the point.... The point is once 400k is spent, thats it..... Not another penny should be spent....

that's a car you build to flagship your brand for years. they may lose money on the cars, but its an investment in their reputation for many years to come. if that car becomes legendary then it will payoff for many years to come.

One prob, its way behide legendary..... Not to mention twice the price of other comparable and equal cars....

exactly. if i wanted the ultimate quarter mile car i would buy a top fuel dragster.
Well, your in luck cause you can prob build 2 top fuel dragsters for 400k :roflmao:


Just sayin....

then you shouldn't spend 400k on a car. no matter what, if you buy a car its never the end.

behide??? behind? i feel like the car definitely has legendary in the making. many other cars have become "legendary" with far less engineering put into em. hell, the shelby cobra is legendary and all it is is a british coupe that carol shelby put the biggest engine he could in. besides, for people shopping in that price bracket... what's another 200k? chump change hahahaha

for 400k i'd have a whole stable of cars lol. i can think of how i'd spend that money right now....

e39 m5, corvette zr1, smart car, ford svt raptor, camper, and a trailer, then i'd use the rest to put gas in em hahaha.

yea, cause for the life of me I cant find any difference between the LFA and an 11 sec mustang?

there is more than the 1/4 mile people. This car does all of those.

OP, you're kinda calling the kettle black. Why do you have an S197 (and a glorified/overpriced GT, no less), when you could build a Fox body that's just as fast for what...half or less of what your car cost?

When is this about what I own? All Im saying is $400k for a car that doesnt perform much better then a $70k car (well in the test shown in the vid) is a brain dead purchase..... And Im sorry, but i do believe a cars meat and potatoes starts in the 1/4 mile then works outwards to the standing mile, then top speed, then back to braking to finally handling....... I understand what your trying to say..... But were talking a difference of $330k not 19k and thats roughly half of what my glorified/overpriced GT was new...... Isnt that a extreme diffence in $???????
And once AGAIN, its a "IMHO"
Also, dont you relieze that what your saying is still the SAME thing when comparing my current car (which is glorified and overpriced, if you didnt know haha) to both of those cars in the vid? Im already doing what your trying to point out im not doing haha....
Hey, go spend $400k on a LFA and let us know if you feel........ slightly ripped off :roflmao: I would...... Enjoy your night man

I think you're missing the point of supercars..they're ungodly expensive and aren't really supposed to make sense. Sort of like an SGT. :p

I just don't get why people have to hate on other people's choices in vehicles, parts, etc. It seems like it's running rampant around here lately.

Who gives a shit what someone else spends their money on? The summer heat getting to you guys?

Traps 123 stock....that's pretty impressive. I'm sure the top end charge is insane.

That 11.8 or whatever was probably VERY traction limited.

No true "car guy" should ever think that, let alone say it! There is ALWAYS more to be spent on ANY ride regardless of price point.

:roflmao: If you say so! So let me ask you this, what else would you do to this LFA after you spent $400k on it? Come on, make a good list..... HDMI cables for the 30k LCD screen? :roflmao:

Im not gonna sit here and argue with you guys...... $400k for that car isnt worth it compared to what else is out there.... Also, I have nothing bad to say about this car other wise, it is a well built and desgined car..... The only thing Im wondering is the longevity of its motor...... Thats it..... You guys make it seem like I fucking hate its guts LOL

I don't get it either. I would have one sitting in my garage if I had the kind of money to blow on a car like that along with a shit load of other cars.
