needs to be something new. The GTR had a new track pack so it got the green light. The car is untouchable dollar for dollar and easily one of the fastest super car on earth ( excluding hyper cars for 1 mil)

I don't have an issue with Motor Trend setting this up.

Heck, if I had access to 10 different cars and an unused runway...I'd line 'em all up and drag 'em, too!

However, I object to them calling it the "World's Greatest Drag Race".

Seriously? Was there someone...anyone...that was surprised that a Merc SLS Black Edition smoked a Ford Focus?

And how can you have a "World's Greatest Drag Race" and not have ANYTHING by Ferrari or Lamborghini...or McLaren...or Pagani...or Koeniggsegg...or SSC...or....?

Motor Trend - enjoy your "Really Cool Drag Race", but pick a better title next time and you won't get quite so much crap about it.

LFA was included in the original "Worlds Greatest Drag Race" from a couple years ago. Although not the Nur edition
