Leave it to motor trend. Quarter mile times mean absolute jack IMO.

 

I don't think you can really compare these two cars on a "Which would I rather buy" basis. These cars are being marketed for two totally different buyers. One is $400K while the other is $80K. LFA has the fit and finish of an exotic while the GTR is performance minded but affordable. Performance can be brought up but the GTR and ZR-1 perform on par with many exotics. An LFA buyer is not getting it because it is the fastest car out there.

Honestly if someone offered to give you an LFA or a GTR no questions asked. Would you get the LFA just because it is worth more? I know I would. You could always turn around, sell it, and buy a GTR while still having $300K to pocket.

 

the LFA is a piece of automotive art. IMO the GTR cant even begin to compare to something of such beauty.

 

High revving V-10 FTW!

 

I think in its own right, the GTR is a work of art...amazing what Nissan could make it do for the money. Just imagine if it was a lighter lower body like the LFA, they would probably be equal in terms of performance.

But I agree:

- They both serve different markets
- 1/4 mile test is lame

 

Gtr is a better overall value but I still the look of the toyota. Looks more like an exotic.

 

awsome vid!!!

 

Like they said, the only reason the gtr was so close is because it was only a 1/4 mile from a dig. If this would have been a hot lap or a roll race, the gtr would have lost its only advantage

 

The price point is negligible to most of those looking to buy the LFA. As most have mentioned, 0-60 is a magazine figure useful in deciding who will win at stoplight derby. The LFA is a piece of engineering art.

 

I'd still get a LFA if I had the money to burn... then again I'd get a Zonda.
