It was sighted in the area and as you can see the owner is a really cool guy. Read below!

I knew i couldn't keep up nor attempt to catch up and cursed myself for not getting him from the front while he was in my rear-view mirror.



Up the road, the lights had now turned red and traffic was slowly coming to a halt. Mr Silver LFA who by now had spotted me in his mirrors began to slow down and by the time the rear-spoiler finished retracting i was door to door with him.

I hooted and gave dude a thumbs up and he responded with a smile and appeared not to mind my invasion of his privacy while my blackberry took snap after snap.



Was wondering if I'd ever get the front but the driver was kind enough to NOT move while i took a parting shot from my lane.......you can see the cars backed up behind him.



As traffic picked up speed, Mr Silver LFA closed the gap QUICKLY,came up behind me switched back to his original lane and blasted off down Holcomb Bridge rd towards GA 400 with the exhaust wailing.

To the driver of the Mr Silver LFA don't know if you'll get to see this but thank you for the encounter.

Safe Driving.

Those are awesome pictures and very nice write up, sicklex.

I noticed the silver LFA still has a Lexus tag on the back. Does it really take that long to get a license plate??

^^^ I got that from VWVortex, not my writing.

Here it takes around 30 days to get a plate.

Thanks. I am sure it must be an amazing encounter. I really hope all the LFAs are driven the way they are meant to be.

F- a front plate, looks bad (good) without it! Rear plates are all that's needed in some states anyway.

I hear you on that..!!!

Hopefully there will never be a horror story of an LFA front bumper being violated...
