i think it's two quite different crowds looking at the cars. truth is, aside from the location of the engine, the nsx engine isn't really anything spectacular to look at nowadays, so to speak. most people who talked to me about the nsx, they talk about the history and the kind of impact that car has done. and most importantly, they asked about the drive-ability, as in daily driven, of the car.

whereas when it comes to the lfa, it's much newer and rarer, so people ask more about the constructions and details

thanx for sharing rominl. the exhaust sound check was crazy. not being bias because i'm a lexus owner but IMO the LFA sounded the best. the Lambo sounded deep throatish (no pun intended). out of all the cars the LFA would be my choice. are all the LFA keys in CF?

I dont think it's right to have NSX next to the LFA on those pictures.. NSX is outdated Period. They need to release the new NSX hurry!

Only one key is carbon fiber. The others are basic Lexus keys that look like Lexus made them in the 90's based upon the few I've seen.

I still think the 02-05 NSX's are still very beautiful to look at.

oh i don't think it's even close. the lfa sound is very refined, the pitch is perfect. the only other car i would compare to would be the porsche gt. the aventador is raw but that's about it. and the cool thing about the lfa? the sound outside and inside the car are very similar, so you get the enjoy it either way

interesting you say that coz' at various occasions when i brought both cars, i chatted with a lot of enthusiasts and some commented how modern the nsx still look today on exterior (interior is another story). the whole concept behind this weekend was to put two japanese supercars / exotics (at their times) together and see how people compare / appreciate them. lfa will crush the nsx in any performance category by a big margin now, but in some way it's like saying it's stupid to put the toyota 2000gt by the lfa for a picture (which someone did before).

As much as I love the LFA, I personally think the NSX holds its own. Which may be why I'm looking for another one

Thanks for posting pictures

but i think it's just about telling great engineering in two very different time stamps, that's the significance

Which one is yours ?



The NSX still looks good next to the LFA even though it's a much older design Thanks for the pictures
