The people that go on about it's lap times, acceleration times, cost (like it matters once you have 400k to spend on a car) just don't get the point at all and that's too bad. When a company puts everything it knows about making driving a car amazing the end result is never anything more or less than what was intended. In SO many ways the LFA embodies the Japanese spirit far better than the GTR. The GTR is a solution to a problem; I need to get from here to here in this much time and it needs to cost no more than this much. As for the other exotics, the name itself precludes any idea that someone is cross-shopping them! "hmm I have 400 thousand dollars to spend.....well, the Ferrari looks nice hmmm but the new Aventador has more horsepower hmmm....OH WAIT, I have 8 cars already so I'll just buy two more who cares..."
Sorry for the rant but given the spirit of this website and how much love we're showing for the 86 (which on paper is completely obsolete) it's obvious most people on here "get it".

If according to Tanahashi driving pleasure is the first priority, why not provide a proper manual in the LFA? Sure the floppy paddle gearbox is faster but it doesn't connect the driver to the car. The 911 GT3 RS still embodies a full on race car that still involves the driver for me. Sure the LFA has a bunch of nice and unique tech in it, but just like many of you argue against the GTR, the LFA is just another computer controlled car.
