Congratulations!!!

Great thread. Please continue to expand on this thread. 471 wheel HP in 5th gear particularly are amazing numbers and a great torque curve (considering 5th gear is well below 1:1 ratio)

Also, please do write your detailed review of the car and do post more videos such as, acceleration runs, track runs etc.

Congrats Phil! A great stable you have there. Two of Japan's finest from today's perspective. Definitely a good feeling to have the GTR and LFA at your disposal at any time. It's going to be hard to top this year's Christmas- that's for sure! Enjoy both to the fullest, my friend!

Congrats on your ownership of a dream car. Thank you for the great write up of your experiences. I really enjoyed reading them and watching the videos. I am very jealous right now. Congrats again and enjoy it

Congrats Phil! So is "your friend" from overseas still looking for an LFA?

I still think you should get another IS F!

Thanks for sharing. I would love to see your take on the LFA since you also own a GT-R! Two of the best cars from Japan at the moment.

The 5th gear ratio is 1 to 0.97... So it was the "best" option for these runs...
(4th gear is 1 to 1.233)

5th gear also tops out at 172 Mph

Actually, the speedometer indicates 185 mph @ 9500 rpm in 5th gear (180 mph GPS verified) for the LFA. (Source: EVO magazine run at Brungtinthrope)

5th gear is crazy tall in the LFA.
