You win nothing because nobody in this thread has mentioned that, and because that is not your original claim about the LF A.
Here is what you said explicitly:
i wouldnt call myself a critic of the lfa, simply because i dont care about it at all. maybe its because ive seen it countless times for years in person, looked underneath, all around, and i dont see anything that is special. or at least, nothing that you cant otherwise already get right now with the 560-4, r8 v10, gtr, etc etc. im not going to hype it up. i even doubt itll live up to these current offerings. but hey its toyota's first try so everyone will be like "aw its ok nice try" or jump on the bandwagon just because its new. i find the ft-86 far more exciting, because it has a chance of being something groundbreaking.
Since that was your original claim, I hope you are prepared to be proven wrong and to eat your words.

wow, just saying im not impressed and i get these hilarious responses. i dont have to say anything because you KNOW the magazines will. hey i drove a lexus around, drank the kool-aid. but lets face it, can the lf-a re-crash the party like the gtr did? or will the reviews be IS-F part deux? im saying the lf-a wont make the r8, zr-1, gtr, zonda, and the tons of other supercars that saturate the market any less awesome. but it hasnt proved itself yet so what is there to defend?

You are totally right. It hasn't proven itself so there is nothing to defend OR attack.
If you admit this, then why aren't you following your own advice and posting as if you know the capabilities and details of the car?
You said A LOT more than simply "I'm not impressed".

I agree. I try not to believe in the hype too much otherwise I will have too great of an expectation. I purposely avoid most LFA threads because I want it to blow me away when it debuts like the original 1LS and 2GS.
But no matter what, I still have my countdown clock on because it's exciting

Performance-wise it will be "the same" compared to other supercars? Oh wise one, PLEASE tell us where you acquired such exclusive information on the production LF A's performance 
?
gshb, CLEARLY, everything *I am personally* wondering about has NOT been revealed yet, and is NOT known about the LF A.
I hope that all of you making these prophetic statements will be prepared to eat your words if you are proven wrong.

I said that it will match, or *possibly* beat supercars that are a class above the GT-R.

Since we are on the topic of "prediction" here's my LF-A prediction. Like TRDFantasy, if I am wrong I'll eat my words and admit to it...
Power rating: 550+ HP
Torque rating: 369 lb-ft
Engine type: 4.8L V10
Engine placement: Front/mid-mount
Drive type: RWD
0 – 60 acceleration: ~ 3.5 seconds
Top Speed: 210+ mph
Price: ~ $250,000 US
Here's the comparison between the LF-A and MB SLS AMG, which I think is LF-A's nature competitor: Lexus LF-A vs. MB SLS AMG

Neat predictions....we'll have to see how they pan out. Did you vote in the LF-A polls thread?

A GT3 RS does NOT beat the 911 Turbo at the ring but the GT3 is seen as the best 911 today and one of the greatest ever. Fastest times, while pretty cool, do not mean everything.
With a N/A V-10 and RWD, there will be a purity to the LF A that Ferrari's have but AWD Lambos lack.
In reading drivers feel was of the extreme importance.

gshb & TRDFantasy - knock off the back and forth bickering, sarcasm, personal attacks, debating unknowns, etc.
