Default Exotic Owner Vlog: LFA, GT3 and 812 Superfast

Unfortunately, he did not capture any video saying a separate track video coming, but the exotic owners raving about LFAs front end axle/turn in, shifts on the track (coming from dual clutch owners while media criticized it) and the engine noise

Yeah, I hope he makes a full track video of the LFA (he said he will post one). He owns a Ferrari TDF and has had Speciale (he sold it) etc. Looks like he was amazed by it. I found it surprising these guys who own dual clutch exotics, praising the LFA transmission so highly calling it "spot on" (while the media mostly bashed it mercilessly).

One thing I wish I'd see more and as good as the normal LFA is I'd love to see how the Ring Edition car goes against the GT3 RS and all those other track orientated manufacturers cars.

It almost seems it's selling the product a fraction short when your not testing thee best the brand has to offer.

I guess with NE LFAs being a unicorn this maybe the main issue but I'm more than convinced it's as good if not better than the other manufacturers products.

Looking forward to their LFA track video.

I think it's more telling that the base car itself is already so good.

No one is cross-shopping a GT3 RS and an LFA anyway.

As discussed ad nauseum, we all know it was reviewers struggling to look for things to hate. We knew what was coming when CAR mag, which had usually been a fair source, rated the SLS superior in the head-to-head comparo based on the SLS being a better daily driver.

Yeah, I remember the Car magazine review. It was easy to live with on a daily basis and they also brought in the 'Mercedes' brand name as another reason why they favored the SLS AMG over the LFA.
