The LFA. And the LC500 shouldn't even be used in the same sentence. I love both cars, but this is a terrible comparison with no surprises of outcome. V10 vs V8

Agreed, I have an RCF (much quicker than LC500), but I would not even bother even for fun, if I came across the unicorn. Hahah!

Do you have pictures of your LFA? Any thoughts and a quick review?

The LFA sure is fast. This video is a good reminder of that. The owner of our local Lexus dealership has an LFA and usually drives an LC500 most days.

He took me for a ride in the LFA once and it felt much faster than any Lexus I’ve been in.

Mre. Rolla seems to have a big problem with the LC For the reasons I stated in Post #81 here:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rc-...r-lc500-6.html

The LC was severely handicapped. However, there is no argument that the LFA is the superior machine, much faster and better handling than the LC. It was meant to be.

If I wanted a fast car I wouldn't buy a Lexus. RCF vs. LC500 would be more of an comparison and even that comes down to do you want something you see everyday or not... along with a bunch of other things. But comparing the LFA and the LC is like comparing a garage-queen-finely-tuned-super car with a ride to the office.
