I have to say they achieved this in riding in the car.
I'm not going to say which way is better, clearly dual clutch is more advanced but might have also been heavier.

It won't be the LAST.
If you don't know why, then just continue to read ALL of the upcoming articles and head to head comparos.
Nice vid by the way!

Although we already know who will win, it's all theoretical bench racing. During acceleration testing of the Lexus, we uncover an ugly truth about the LFA's long gestation period. Its sequential manual gearbox (SMG) feels years behind the dual clutch boxes like the GT-R.

+1. This kind of apple-to-orange comparison has got to stop. Also stop drag racing and put them on a real race track already.

Straight light drag race comparos are soooooooo lame. Seriously, there is so much more to a car than just this number.
What about the viceral quality a car gives you? I'm sure the LFA has the GT-R beat in this department. I would like to have honest journalists do back to back comparisons while spending some serious seat time in both. That would be much more interesting.
