For 400k I will take a GTR which was only a car length behind in the 1/4 mile.

It is a beauty!!!

Obviously, who has actually driven both cars will always say completely differently simply because LFA does so many things GTR is not designed for.

LFA would absolutely kill from a 1st gear 20 mph rolling start race and also at higher speeds (LFA has almost a full second quicker 0 - 162 mph). Also, the much more modest Potenza tires on LFA compared to semi-slicks Dunlops DSST on GTR make a big difference in ultimate levels of grip (only Nurburgring edition LFA comes with comparable sticky tires).

Case in point, if it was really about getting best 1/4 mile numbers, one of those used $35,000 modified Evo IX with 650 wheel HP and 9 seconds 1/4 miles are the best cars to have.

From your profile it looks likes you are located in Ohio. I was wondering what dealership this is? Also, from the pic I can't quite tell if the car is black or dark metallic gray. Saving up the pennies.

Didn't dig the LFA in black until now. Looks absolutely sinister from that angle. Thanks for sharing.
