Default Lexus LFA a benchmark for Dodge SRT Viper GTS performance testing


Was there a car—perhaps the Corvette—that was a performance target?
Ruedisueli: Well, sure. But remember that the Viper will never be a Corvette. We don’t ever want it to be. Our customers are very anxious about this becoming a Corvette. The Viper is more raucous. Of course, we looked at the ZR1 because it’s so capable. We looked at some Porsche 911s and at the Lexus LFA to make sure we were in the performance ballpark.

The LFA is well recognized within true performance circles, people who know their stuff.

Definitely a huge compliment indeed for Lexus.
You know you're doing something right when your competitors try to measure up to you!
