GTR vs LFA in the 1/4

I always think its funny when cars with quite a bit more hp get compared to the GTR. Like the ZR1 with over 100hp more and the GTR held its own as far as I am concerned. If the GTR had 550hp this 1/4 race would have looked much different.
GTR + 550hp > LFA
GTR + 600hp > ZR1
We all know that GTR's running those hp#'s is not a big deal. Now Nissan just has to ship them from the factory with that kind of power.1989 Skyline GTR

I'll take the lexus - then sell it and buy 2 r35's an r34 and another r32 for the hell of it
Each car carries a $375,000 base sticker price. U.S. customers will have to lease the car for the first two years, with the option to buy it at the end of the lease term. Lexus is using that sales strategy as a way to keep control of the car and blunt speculators who would buy the car and then try to sell it for a much higher price.

if they're losing money on a $400,000 japanese car they're doing something wrong.
I'd take the ZR-1 over either. the LF-A looks better in person than it did in that video but I'm still not nuts about how it looks.
And the LF-A really wins on sound. man what a nice sounding V10.1992 GTR - 2.7L, GT2871R's, forged bottom end, big valves, 270* cams, R34 getrag

if they went the mass production route then no they obviously wouldnt loose money on each LFA at that price, but they are limiting production to pretty small numbers and thats why they are loosing money. The huge amount of R and D is where most of the money lost I think. Its not cheap to build a car with such high amounts of the highest quality CF available with todays methods

Toyota also utilized a fancy pants CF loom..one of only 2 of its kind in the world, IIRC. That didn't come cheap. The LF-A isn't a good bang-for-your-buck performance car. It's not supposed to be. It is a halo car and technological showcase for Toyota. That's why you can't compare it with a GT-R or ZR1..apples to apples. Can't judge a car based exclusively on numbers.03 Infiniti G35 Coupe 5AT "Valerie"
