I think I know what he's referring to, one point I can see is Jalopnik seem to accept the "ring time" of 7:30 with traffic as actually meaningful, and saying it can't even beat the ZR-1, but of course, nothing is official and final about the production LFA's performance yet ...

Reading that explains why we should not be talking about cars under $100,000, period. You look at how the car was designed, built, the materials.... Not even in the same class.

Yeah, its closest competitor that comes to mind is the SLR

And before someone says it should be compared to other cars with V10 and is cheaper, take for example luxury watches, if you don't take into account the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into making a watch, why pay the price of a patek phillipe or audemars piquet when a rolex will do the same thing and tell time

i know many things are left out to save weight but turn signals on the side mirrors would have been nice.

^^ Just as the IS-F, its a "Luxury" feature left off the side view mirros...

Probably will not see any of the "F" marque cars with side mirror turn signals.

However, in Asia & Europe markets the IS-F gets side fender blinkers..

I am just curious why didn't they try out carbon/magnesium wheels or just magnesium? Way to expensive? Not light enough?
