Amazing stuff!!! Love reading these details.
I would really love to read his detailed review once he breaks in his LFA and takes it to the track. How he likes it versus his other cars? etc.

I think so. Yes he has owned other exotics and he felt his Audi R8 was his favorite until this one. True Car Guy and huge Lexus owner, I believe he said he has owned 13 Lexus vehicles and 8 for his wife. The owner was on point with the LFA, dropping knowledge to everyone. Its one of the few times I felt most everything said was accurate. 
The cool thing was he stated this is the first supercar he bought that his wife loves. She is a Lexus gal and knows have to drive a manual and approved the LFA.
Seems when it was delivered Hennessy Lexus presented a cake and there was a mini LFA sculpture on top of it.
He has followed this car from day one and said as soon as he was told about the project he wanted one. The initial price he was told was much lower around 200k before they decided to go full Carbon Fiber. What he said next had me
, he said "200k, 375k. whats money amongst friends"
Balling
This was his first C&O, Forged Performance told him about it (he has a track GT-R they modify for him they also brought) and he said he will be at more in the future.
It really was amazing to see a Lexus be the show stopper at such a high profile meet. Never in my life would I have thought that.
Pics will be posted soon.

If I remember he said he's done around 150 laps with Pruett, mostly at Homestead. The owner was very pleased with the LFA.He stated it actually arrived a few weeks ago but b/c of our crappy weather he said just keep it until it warms up.
True gentleman, class act and seems like Gengar and the other LFA owners on here that have taken the time to share their LFA experiences with the rest of us.

Yeah, the forged performance review talked about this guy. It makes sense.
Hopefully, they will strap it to a dyno and see what the LFA is putting down.

He told Scott Pruett if he ever wants to come to Atlanta and drive it at the new track being built here he's all game. If I remember he said he's done around 150 laps with Pruett, mostly at Homestead. The owner was very pleased with the LFA.

This car is creating amazing buzz around the net. People are tracking this forum to report on the LF A. You're even being quoted over on bimmerpost.
Found out today that one is actually coming to Calgary and six are going to Vancouver. Maybe my chances of seeing one up close are better than I thought.

I am pretty sure the buzz must be even bigger on the NAGTROC website since from what sicklex said, he is a very important and big member of the GTR community.
The forged performance review was also posted on NAGTROC when Lexus sent the yellow prototype for this owner to test drive. The forged performance owner ended up testing driving it and reviewing it.
