drove the Lexus LF-A! (photos and video)

Exhaust note is ridiculous and up there with a straight pipe M5 imho. The gauge cluster is also just pure art. Really really nice but I'm just not a huge fan of the exterior. I know Lexus was trying to make a point and won't make a dime off any of these that are sold but kudo's for doing it. Just watched the review on Top Gear a couple of days ago and it looks like richard liked it too.

lol no comparison... the LF-A is in the same league as the Enzo, Zonda, SLR, CGT, and Reventon. the SL600 is a nice car but its a GT cruiser with gobs of power. the LF-A is a road-going race car. totally different markets.

btw there's no such thing as a SL600 AMG. your friend's car is a SL600 badged to make it look like an AMG. the real AMG car is the SL65 AMG.

Oh I just assumed it was an AMG because the SL600 is a BEAST!

And yeah I know SL600 is not in the same league as the LF-A, I'm just jealous that you got to drive it... And I'm just saying V12 > V10

haha sorry don't want to take this off topic

I should have bit my tongue.

HUGE. here are my lifetime fascinations (and loves), in order of appearance:

1) cars (been into cars since I was a toddler)
2) art
3) music
4) photography

That list is close to me as well. The only reason I got into photography is because I had to sell my car to afford school. Figured I would try to keep my mind off the cost of cars and into something cheaper.

Beautiful Supra as well. Did you ever go down to the Texas Supra meet? I was thinking about going this year but didnt realize it was in March. Maybe next year.

By the screen name, I would assume you sold it because of crank walk
I had a GSX and after the second motor went I got out of that game..

But I'm kinda like both of you,
I mostly got into photography because I had a super cute girlfriend and I wanted to take lots of pictures of her..

Never seen an actually crankwalked bottom end in person. Its funny how people will spin a rod bearing/etc and immediately think it is crankwalk. Not saying it doesn't happen, but considering that it happens in well less than 5% of all cars, I dont worry about it.

Besides, high horsepower Supras crankwalk more than DSM's do, but you never hear people say anything about that.
