You are most probably right. I don't see it going anywhere anytime in the future. I became a lot busier with wife, a baby etc., but still always find the time to see if I can find something on it. LFA is truly one of a kind and despite having followed it since 2009, it still mesmerizes me especially the engine. Just an otherwordly thing. Not like many other passions that came and faded away with time.

The 1LR_GUE 4.8L V10 is truly the BEST engine ever built.
Thanks.

Amen to that.
Personally I like hearing the engine and the raw-ness of the gearbox in attack mode on the downshifts.
The closest I've been to the LFA here in New Zealand is I got to sit in the driver seat and give the accelerator a few blasts in neutral though I did get it to rev up to about 8000 rpm in neutral and yes that engine just sings.I could'nt believe how quickly the engine spun upand the sound is as advertised intoxicating to say the least.
