Now now, don't start changing your mind and twisting your own words.

You win nothing because nobody in this thread has mentioned that, and because that is not your original claim about the LF A.

Here is what you said explicitly:

You have already proved that you have no substantive evidence to back up your claim.

Since that was your original claim, I hope you are prepared to be proven wrong and to eat your words.

 

wow, just saying im not impressed and i get these hilarious responses. i dont have to say anything because you KNOW the magazines will. hey i drove a lexus around, drank the kool-aid. but lets face it, can the lf-a re-crash the party like the gtr did? or will the reviews be IS-F part deux? im saying the lf-a wont make the r8, zr-1, gtr, zonda, and the tons of other supercars that saturate the market any less awesome. but it hasnt proved itself yet so what is there to defend?

 

You are totally right. It hasn't proven itself so there is nothing to defend OR attack.

If you admit this, then why aren't you following your own advice and posting as if you know the capabilities and details of the car?

You said A LOT more than simply "I'm not impressed".

 

simple my man. because in a couple weeks i dont want to have to be all disappointed and re-read how terrible toyota does at making sporty cars. if you guys dont put the damn thing on a pedestal then it will be all the more impressive.

 

I agree. I try not to believe in the hype too much otherwise I will have too great of an expectation. I purposely avoid most LFA threads because I want it to blow me away when it debuts like the original 1LS and 2GS.

But no matter what, I still have my countdown clock on because it's exciting

 

I actually got all that insider's info from you. Didn't you say it'll outdo GTR or a class above it?

 

Yes, I did say it will out-perform the GT-R, and I still stand by my statement. I will eat my words if I am wrong and admit to it.

I said that it will match, or *possibly* beat supercars that are a class above the GT-R.

 

Since we are on the topic of "prediction" here's my LF-A prediction. Like TRDFantasy, if I am wrong I'll eat my words and admit to it...

Power rating: 550+ HP
Torque rating: 369 lb-ft
Engine type: 4.8L V10
Engine placement: Front/mid-mount
Drive type: RWD
0 – 60 acceleration: ~ 3.5 seconds
Top Speed: 210+ mph
Price: ~ $250,000 US



Here's the comparison between the LF-A and MB SLS AMG, which I think is LF-A's nature competitor: Lexus LF-A vs. MB SLS AMG

 

Neat predictions....we'll have to see how they pan out. Did you vote in the LF-A polls thread?

A GT3 RS does NOT beat the 911 Turbo at the ring but the GT3 is seen as the best 911 today and one of the greatest ever. Fastest times, while pretty cool, do not mean everything.

With a N/A V-10 and RWD, there will be a purity to the LF A that Ferrari's have but AWD Lambos lack.

In reading drivers feel was of the extreme importance.

 

gshb & TRDFantasy - knock off the back and forth bickering, sarcasm, personal attacks, debating unknowns, etc.

thank you.

 

Hoping to buy a used one in about 20 years!

 

same here!

 

If this car lives up to all the hype it will probably cost more then than now, not to mention reduced numbers available due to inevitable crashes, mishaps etc.
