I hate that its so cheap but so fast. Like, it infuriates me when I see it rape cars that cost twice the cost and have a lot more horsepower. I love it too because what other 3800 pound car can do a 2.9 second 0-60?

I know a guy with one and he has gone 10.08 on stock everything other than a small gt28 turbo upgrade and will go 9's I am sure soon and needless to say that sucker is a beast on the street and he has handed it to cars that run single digit times on the street, Very very capable car!

It would walk all over an LFA in a straight line or in the twisties.

Not necessarily "walk all over" in a straight line, however, AWD > RWD in the twisties unless you're drifting in the LFA haha

Sadly, a 2012 GTR will walk on a LFA in the 1/4. I mean you can get a 3.6 second 0-60 in a LFA on a good day but GTR's do 2.9-3.0 second 0-60's all day and low 11.1-2's versus the LFA's 11.5-11.6 . If the LFA had a proper L/C that would help it out a lot.

There will be no walking. 0-60 GTR has the edge; 1/4 mile AND BEYOND..LFA period.
now to be fair, in the vid is a 2010. 2011 they upped the hp like 45 horses :0
