1- My occupation
2- What I was planning to do with the LFA
3- What vehicles Lexus/non-Lexus, I have owned.
Re: 5 LFA's on the race track video = Priceless.
Last but not least, I get to make one last change to my car by this Friday. This probably means all 500 LFA's orders are in, or Lexus is cutting off sales to get ready for production .

I would believe all 500 have been sold-out. Lexus Australia GM confirmed that all 171 allocations in US have been spoken for (whether all will be shipped to US or not is another thing).
On the application form, there were questions in these three areas:
1- My occupation
2- What I was planning to do with the LFA
3- What vehicles Lexus/non-Lexus, I have owned.

Nobody else has confirmed or backed up this info here in this thread, but I assume they are now all sold out.

I called the number on day 1.
The communication was more about Lexus making sure I understood the leasing thing. They wanted to confirm that I lived in the US and would register the car in the US.
I was not comfortable about the amount of info I was able to provide. Once I received an email from Lexus, I sent a message communicating what a car junky I am and how I would drive it up and down Michigan Ave, the shnazzy Northern suburbs and would take it to Road America in the summer.
I would not fear that the cars will never see the light of day. I am sure most owners will want to show their toy off and I would have to believe Lexus will sponsor some nice get getogethers once the cars have been delivered.
I would also not worry about them selling out. Like I have been saying, the dealers want these cars to bring people into the stores, so they are likely to be customers for any open build slots and resales.

@ 1:45 the #38 LFA lays down some nice rubber.... !!!!
Seconds before that the floor was clean.. Seconds after 1:45 you can the burn out lines
Also, this second yellow LFA has been hiding for months in Japan..
