I have to give C&D credit here as I usually am bashing them but seems they gave the LFA a fair shake (Haven't read the entire article yet). The summary was basically "if Toyota put this much passion in all their cars they would be unbeatable". I don't think anyone was aware the LFA actually came out on top in the comparo. http://lexusenthusiast.com/images/gallery/red-lexus-lfa-carview/red-lexus-lfa-carview-1.jpg http://www.roadandtrack.com/var/ezflow_site/storage_RT_NEW/storage/images/tests/impressions/2009-ferrari-599-gtb-fiorano-hgte/575840-2-eng-US/2009-ferrari-599-gtb-fiorano-hgte.jpg LFA scored yet another win over 599 GTB HGTE even accelerating faster than it through the 1/4 mile (ofcourse, with the newly installed launch control).

The article is not online yet but the LFA beat the 599 HGTE.:eek2:

Well its by a point, so basically a tie

but it's pretty shocking to continue to read reviews of a "Lexus" versus cars like "Ferrari" and the LFA continues to perform and show how well it belongs in this elite class of vehicles. I have to give C&D credit here as I usually am bashing them but seems they gave the LFA a fair shake (Haven't read the entire article yet).
