No reason to consider the GT-R and with that said, I honestly don't think that the LF-A will be all that fast or have the status of a Lamo or a Ferrari.

So the Lambo vs Ferrari, go LP640, style and speed, plus the exclusive scissor doors, everyone, male/female gawks at those when it is not a civic anyway.

The Lambo Murcy epitomizes what a SUPER/EXOTIC Car is. It is a league of it's own and I'm quite sure that MOST automotive enthusiasts will agree.

The LP640 is my 2nd most wanted Supercar only behind the almighty VEYRON!
The GT-R however, is my choice for ANY car under $125k.

the 430 is actually more pricey... when u consider the wait list and mark ups b/c of the three year wait list unlike lambo with a 1 year wait list

Is it a gift from someone or I have to buy it out of my own pocket? I would buy the Nissan GT-R. If it is a gift, of course LP640 and immediately sell it and get my GT-R and have lots of money left for LCD HDTV, Ipod, new computer, lots of detailing stuff, a set of nice 19" M5 rims/tires for my parents' 530i, many baby stuff for my nephew, airline ticket to travel to Hong Kong and money in my saving account.

LP640 hands down, unless you plan on tracking and showing off to everyone who's the fastest for the biggest bang for the buck, you just want a car for noise, for show, for the moderate speeding.

Of which, both Ferrari and Lamborghini will net you more looks, head turners, ladies, admiration from little kids than GT-R.

I think GT-R will mostly net you the enthusiast, the ricers, the JDM crowds... of which are mostly guys :P

LP640 for me.

The LF-A might never become reality. I'll believe it when they start building
them.

Main reason i picked LP and 430 is that they are really close in terms of performance...both are mid 3s to 60. The GTR is in purely for this reason as well.

The LP is somewhat a limited edition model as is the Scuderia ("built by Schuey"). The GTR is a limited edition car too is it not?

Obviously if money wasnt a factor and you only have space in the garage for ONE car you can only get one car right?

I truely think the Lambo is the car to get, it's more prestigious than the Ferrari and it looks better. But that's all you can really say lol.

I'm not going to pick a car not out yet and I'm not going to pick a car that is not close to an exotic. The Scuderia is surely THE driving car here for purity but my goodness, that Lambo makes me weak in the knees.

Anyone without weaknesses in the knees standing infront of one would be wearing prosthetics (or doesn't have any ).
