So you much rather believe a printed sheet of paper than what factually LFA itself tells us when it is travelling at the top of 5 gear.

Yet, again LFA's 5th gear tops out at 185 mph @ 9500 rpm. That is a fact coming straight from LFA itself. That is what I consider the most accurate answer.

Rolla,

I posted the published technical specs / info for a reason...
Re-read if you have too.. (The data is clearly NOT based on pegged redlining)

I can also assure you they did not burry into 5th gear redline to complete the Dyno.
The LFA's V10 Motor Max power is achieved at 8,700 Rpms

Please don't further derail Phillips thread.. Feel free to PM me if you need too..

Regards,

Joe Z

it would be my honor to compare the two. it's just us being enthusiasts, nothing about bragging what car one has driven
Henry, put in a good word for me to Phil so I can tag along and roll together......seriously. I just want to sit in it at least
