It says "we are about to take on the au courant of the supercars. Buckle up". That means it probably will be pit against other cars.

^ i doubt they will do anything crazy. some new wheels, possibly lower stance, and some tasteful accents. i'll pop over at the end of the week and find out what kind of mods they plan on doing...

I'd make it lighter where possible. A better exhaust, higher grip tires and the aero mods from the Ring edition. It'd blow other supercars away. We already know what the Ring edition is capable of. Imagine it with some Michelin Super Sports.

To this day, after 3 years since LFA first was unveiled, it never ceases to baffle me, after all of the unprecedented press response and other people who have driven the car and a few records, how much hatred there is for this car (especially from the GTR fanbois all over the internet who have never driven a car at this level and pigeon hole everything down to 1/.4 mile and 0-60 mph numbers since there is the only way it holds a candle).

Agreed.

I have driven the LFA at Sonoma Raceway last year so I do appreciate what Lexus has done with its first super car. However most test still show the GTR more than capable to hold its own against the LFA. I believe it's the price point that most car enthusiast bash at. I hope in the future to pick up one of these babies because I've owned many Lexus cars.

I don't see why 'hatred' over a car from people who've never driven it is any less comparable to the ankle grabbing that goes on in here over a car that people have barely seen much less ever driven. As long as there is an area of comparison to be done, it will be and there will be some who place significance on it. Doesn't make it hate, just makes it a preference. Lexus will survive (this thread it seems, not so much, lol)
God forbid someone comes in here not carrying their own jar of Vaseline...
Anyway, looking forward to see what 'modded' means. LFA isn't awe inspring to look at so there is just as much potential for things to go wrong as they could go right. Will be interesting if nothing else. I agree that I don't expect anything crazy

Also, the power gains in the case of Porsche Carrera GT with a more free flowing exhaust were quite astonishing (atleast, from what the tuning company claimed).
