LC vs LFA
Not bad actually given the weight, performance, price mismatch....
The braking test was especially surprising given the squeaky brake issues and the weight... The LC brakes are maybe good, after all.
Lexus did a good job balancing performance, luxury, cost, etc with the LC... but that old V10 sound is phenomenal...
500K beats 100K everyday....

That owner of the LFA has been thrashing it for many years and does drag racing regularly at VMAX 200 events.
The owner has racing slicks on, which don't grip in the wet and MPSS have great wet braking, which is why the braking test is quite flawed. The carbon ceramic brakes are meant to be used on the track at warm temperatures where they don't fade after repeated abuse.

Stupid comparison. LC closer in driving quality to a Camry. LFA closer to a Porsche GT3 RS. No *******t REALLY..... However I am waiting for the LC-F for my DD. Essentially impossible to beat that Lexus quality.

Once again, I have driven all three cars and while I like the LC and I think it is a fantastic car and plan on purchasing the F variant, it indeed does offer a driving experience closer to the Camry than the LFA. This is my opinion and if you don’t agree that is certainly your prerogative, but to say that it a ridiculous statement is just immature and close minded. If you have also driven all three then you could draw your own conclusion and at that point we could have a valid debate........ Sorry to rain and n your parade
