When you consider the overall proximity to the competition (albeit behind in many categories) of the GTR factoring in the price as tested... it came in way ahead IMHO.
I realize that this comparison is purely about driving satisfaction and price-no-object performance on the track... but you can buy 4 GTR's for the price of 1 LFA - and at least 2 of them for every other car tested.
The LFA is truly an amazing feat of automotive engineering, but the fact that Nissan was able to deliver a vehicle that is 80-90% as good in nearly every aspect as supercars costing as much as 400% more deserves much respect as well.

Not simply to point out the obvious but....

Similarly, I can buy two EVO X and mod atleast one of them to become hardcore track cars for the price of one GTR. 
Today, I saw 2 used GTR for sale in the sunday 'Sun' newspaper at a dealership. I doubt I will ever see an LFA for sale randomly in a newspaper. People never understand.
