Crazy, as much of a LF-A fan as I am, I didn't really believe the 7:24 time but they aren't disputing it. Still, my skeptical side wonders what tires were on it.

I know, seriously. I'll take it as is now over a 2009/10 release with a higher top speed that I'm never going to take the car to anyway!!

Wow, wow....so it seems this is true, we posted in the LF-A thread a few days ago..

I'll leave here and merge later...

What makes the GT2 and LF-A even more amazing is they are pure cars with just RWD and driver skill. The GT-R time is amazing as well but it has every electronic known to man to help it.

Um Sick...how do you know the LF-A doesn't have all the electronics known to man to help it? If anything I bet it does.

By the time the LF-A comes out I am sure something else will have already unseated it.

Lexus LF-A vs. Nissan GT-R vs. Porsche 911 Turbo vs. Porsche 911 GT3 vs. Ferrari F430 vs. Lamborghini Gallardo vs. Honda NSX TYPE R vs. BMW M3 vs. Chevrolet Corvette Z06 vs. Mazda RX-7(FE?) vs. Audi R8 vs. Aston Martin Vantage vs. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR vs. Subaru Impreza WRX STI vs. Lotus Exige S vs. whatever you could come up with that might even have a chance to run against these crazy cars..........I am jumping up and down like a 5 years old.

Not a believer yet. Some of these times that are reported are very unbelievable. I'll wait till a 3rd party gets a hold of it. But I am excited about the car.

The mere fact that we're talking about the LF-A as a Nur standout, much less the best lap time, is a remarkable testament in itself. This is a company that released its first performance-oriented vehicle what, 3 days ago?
