i also think the gt and lfa sound similar, each has their little "better" edges, but both super good

No, this one is brand new.

You are thinking of the one Justin Bell did for Jay Leno Garage back in 2009, Jay wasn't on that video:

You put it nicely, they both got their little better edges. I concluded the C-GT is better due to the higher pitch and sweeter sounds. The LFA is a very close 2nd. 3rd is probably the 599 GTO.

This is how I rank the best sounding stock street car on stock exhaust

Also this ranking apply to the U.S. only, as the Zonda F is right up there with the C-GT and LFA.

Leno saying good things about the LFA is huge. He has a lot of cred among enthusiasts.

What's Leno's response to the inevitable question of

"Hey Jay, I love hearing you say all these great things about the LFA but why don't you have one and didn't talk about getting one after this great review?"

I think Black is my least favorite LFA color. It just doesn't come off in pictures the way the others do and that's a shame.

That video was posted on his site Monday April 5, 2012. You may be thinking of an earlier video,
