Default Shmee150 Drives the Lexus LFA for the First Time

I actually met Shmee150 on the Gumball 3000 last year. Crazy he hadn't driven an LFA, given all the other hardware he's had access to. Check out the full post on the Blog. >>

Cool video. He never redlined the car in the video, but nice review from an exotic car owner.

Was thinking the same thing. He probably never passed 6500-7k RPMs from the "sound of it"!

I never tire of the LFA and seeing die hard car enthusiasts and automotive journalists drive and get out so impressed with it, especially the sound, makes my day.

All true enthusiasts and journalists admire the heck out of it. Only the hates are the people sitting behind their keyboards without a clue of how it actually drives in real life.

People that hate it only focus on 0-60 and 1/4 miles times.
To them GTR and Hellcat are the best......
