Default Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition owner taking passenger for joy ride

Though, it is clear from one of the clip that the car is still cold and the redline is lowered to 7500 rpm, the passenger still freaks out even though, he never got anywhere close to 9500 rpm.

I like how the passenger was talking about a friends gallardo and Aston Martin and was silenced quickly by the acceleration

Yeah, that is what he said. 120 mph. He is mostly using midrange torque the entire time, though.

I believe the LFA is might not cold. It might be a brand new car and he has not broken in yet so the redline has been reduced to around 7500 rpm.

Yeah, 7.4k til 310 mi for me. After the 310mi limit, the rev limiter lifts quite fast to the standard redline when warming up.

I'm pretty sure if I got that car I would be driving it non-stop all weekend until I had 1,000 miles on it, change the oil, and start having some fun
