At the track the LFA will make the IS 300 look like its standing still upon entering turn one let alone an entire lap.

In the end, the LFA owner wins no matter what. Its a LFA
Not exactly true. You have to take into consideration driver skill and who's driving the car haha.

An example was the GT-R vs EVO on GMR. The GT-R driver thought he was hot shit but he was way behind the Evo, so he tried catching up and crashed into rocks.

That EVO was heavily modded, the GTR was stock. Even if the driving skills was equal, that EVO might have been a faster car. But I know what you are trying to say.

LFA will probably be quicker, more consistent (dual-clutch gearbox as far as I know), and overall much more reliable and well built.

That would be a very close race, they are pretty much even after everything is considered.

Same weight, the Vette got 80 more hp, the LFA got a quicker shifting tranny and better aerodynamic.

I haven't driven either car, but I am guessing the LFA is a better feeling car to drive and probably easier to drive then the Vette, the Vette would provide bigger rush because is boosted. Lap time would be about the same.

LFA got a single clutch tranny.

The ZR1s are reliable and well built also They just got REALLY crappy seats!

Iono no matter how expensive a corvette cost, when your actually sitting in one. The interior just feels boring, poorly designed and unattractive.... feels pretty much the same on all corvettes...
