Re: Just got done watching TopGear. I MUST HAVE A LEXUS LFA!!!
I'm also crazy over the LFA. For some reason it just hits the right buttons for me. I understand the comparisons with say... the GTR, but the GTR is earning a reputation as very 'uninvolving' or unexciting. Like the computer won't let you drive it poorly. Plus it's styling doesn't do it for me.
As for the "Just a Lexus" criticism. The LFA gets a pass from me on this too. The Corvette is 'just a Chevy', but that means something, since it inherited Chevy's crappy interior materials and build quality. The LFA is pretty much a bespoke sports car, front to back. All of its parts are specially made.

IMO is probably gunna be like the ENZO club. So what if you have the money, have you been invited?
What I really like is all the places you can hide LJs
I would definitely pass a Ferrari for an LFA. Don't trust Ferrari build quality. I know a few Ferrari owners in Miami and their cars are constantly in the shop for something. Problems with the engine, the active suspension and the sequential transmission are incredibly frequent. I wouldn't anticipate those issues with an LFA.
That said unless you have hundreds of millions there is no cause to be spending that much on a car. The Nissan GTR and the Corvette ZR1 provides better performance than any Ferrari at a fraction of the price and those cars can handle day to day driving. Above $100,000 there are significantly diminishing returns.

Re: Just got done watching TopGear. I MUST HAVE A LEXUS LFA!!!
my opinion on the ZR1 - needs a better interior and AWD, too much power through the rear wheels makes it basically impossible to go through a corner and accelerate. It is fast in a straight line but having to turn a corner basically makes it no faster then cars with much less power.

The Challenger is a nice car but it is no super car. The Viper is an even nicer car but still not in the same league. Given your Handle, I do understand your enthusiasm for the Mopar products.
But that would be like calling the Subaru Impreza WRX STi a Super car. Fun but not even close.
(It will blow the doors off of a Challenger though )
