Default LFA ride-along: Acceleration runs, revs, fly-bys and photos

You can hear the owner complaining about the tires and that they don't handle very well just like many other people before him.

Too bad Lexus did not give the car proper sticky tires.

Exactly, the tires are fine, unless you're racing.

The LFA handles like a true sports car. If you want something that practically drives itself buy an AWD lamborghini and miss out on the fun of truely driving the vehicle. Personally, I enjoy the aggressive rear wheel drive, the LFA is hands down the most exhilerating vehicle I have driven; over the SLR McLaren/458 Italia/Gallardo/Murcialago/GTR/etc.
