All in all, I do enjoying this debate. I leaning towards Matador's side (sorry Dimman).
Now, I'm not pro or con of LFA nor SLS AMG, cuz my Impreza can take both of em on... put the joke on the side
I can say is, it's kinda not fair for SLS to have 1.4 Liter more on the engine. That 1.4 Liter made the difference in the TQ. 0~60,100 or 1/4 mile is all about tq, not hp. 125 tq less LFA did pretty good job for 0.1 sec slower than SLS AMG.... now I wonder what kind of tq LFA gonna have w 6.2L V10... I can only dream.
For Matador's comment bout LFA rape an SLS around the track. LFA got 7:19 around the Nur track (driver: Haruhiko Tanahashi), while SLS AMG got 7:40 around the Nur track (driver: Horstvon Saurma). 21 sec slower than LFA. LFA is fast around the Nur track than Zonda F (24), GT-R (26), Carrera GT (28), CCX (33), ZR1 (38), Scuderia (39), LP640 (40), & etc.
Now, which one do you feel suck loosing? 0.1 sec lost in drag or 21 sec lost in the track? I'll let you guys choose.
For myself, if I had all the money in the world and I gotta choose between SLS or LFA, I'll choose LFA not because it's Toyota or cuz it's faster around the track or other stuff like that, but I read several LFA and SLS's review and most of them state that SLS is great car all around, easy response, control, & power. While LFA is razor sharp, hard to maintain (sometimes), too stiff for daily driving. Now, I want some car that I have hard time taming. I think, that's all bout isn't it? I control the car, not car control me (I think Tsuchiya-san even stated that).
