Just chased/raced a brand new Lexus LFA (4.8 V10 552hp) from second gear roll, he was already movin pretty good before I took off. I caught up to him almost right away and was on his ass before we had to stop! The dealer has been running it up and down the street all day so I decided to test my GTO lol. All I have done is a Vararam, Mufflers, resonator delete, ngk plugs and taylor wires. Needles to say I was impressed with my car, I was ready to get smoked. ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)

thats an insane price tag! for that price it should have smoked me no problem. I think the potential buyer in the passenger seat may have changed his mind after almost getting beat by an $18k car haha.

Sure, the LFA is a Toyota and thats a good thing because it that means that the LFA will not break down. The only disappointment that I see with the LFA Is that Toyota did not put their name on it and with Lexus being a premium brand positioned above Toyota,the likelihood of Toyota putting their name on a $100,000 car is unlikely,but nonetheless, the LFA. t is an incredible piece of engineering and a fantastic car.
If Ford did not exist, I would be driving a Lexus,

More like 6 or 7, you could even get 2 Ford GT's and still have money left over for mods.

I'm pretty sure they weren't worried about a Pontiac in the next lane, my car could beat the Lexus, so he should buy my car and not waste his money on the Lexus right, if I could afford a 400k car I sure as hell wouldn't be driving an GTO and would care less if it almost beat me. Take a step back and really put things in perspective.

You didn't get it, I was being sarcastic. I wasn't saying he's gonna change his mind and buy a GTO, I meant change his mind in general, once again it was a sarcastic remark. My mustang would spank this car too, but that's beside the point. I raced it expecting to loose and ended up keeping up with it that's all. Put things into perspective before you comment

I understand that 100% in this case the dealer was test driving this car all day, and I just happened to be driving to lunch during one of there test drives and had some fun. The LFA is a badass car for sure, just not for the price in my opinion.

I dont know what the LFA is but I raced a ISF in my 2012 SS with exhaust and intake from 50, then from 80 and walked away from it both times. I looked it up and they are supposed to trap like 112-115 but maybe the driver was retarded......who knows????
