LFA sounds way better.

No comparison, the only car that can give the LFA's engine sounds a good challenge is the Carrera GT.

Okay, a straight piped CGT sounds better than a LFA IMO.

WTF............ these cars are designed to drive.

05RollaXRS

Dunno. The induction sound still on the LFA still better and also one of the reason is LFA revving up to 9500 rpm (as opposed to 8400 rpm for the Carrera GT).

Old video, doesn't really capture the sound the LFA really makes that great either. In real life the LFA's exhaust note does wonders. You can 'feel' it.

Justin2JZ

Redline some times doesnt matter.

05RollaXRS

Ofcourse it does. That is why LFA acoustically has a very different sound at 4500, 7500 and then 9500 rpm.

The piston speeds at 9500 rpm would be a lot faster compared to 8400 rpm given the same bore and stroke and will affect the engine induction sound other than the exhaust emission velocity approaching incredible high. It is going to make the engine sound approach much closer to an F1 racing car sound in terms of the dense high-pitched shriek getting progressively more high pitch.

It is apparent in the video that Lexus LFA's sound from 8000 - 9500 rpm becomes completely different and approaches border line mayhem.

What about the CGT?

That LFA sounds fantastic! I've driven that course in a Z06 Vette. Lotsa fun.

What is the fuel cut on the LFA? In the video it looks like Justin gets the tach needle into the 9,700-9,850 range a couple times.

Justin2JZ

Nah man, fuel cut is 9500 rpms

how about a straight pipe LFA?

Justin2JZ

I dont know of any aftermarket exhausts for the LFA yet so until a LFA is straight piped I'll have to give the crown to a AWE straight piped CGT.
