Then explain to me why Lexus is losing money on every LFA they are selling? It is very expensive but you can’t really call it overpriced but you are right that sound is amazing.

So, the Ferrari comes with its own engineer. Cheating bastards! But the sound from both the 458 and the LFA are amazing!

why do people keep talking abt the gtr like its the greatest car in the world . Sure its a fast car but all this fan boy thing ruins it. sure impressive lap time on nurburgring .but then again a corvette zr1 is faster. and who cares if a car is .000004 sec faster. All that matters is how u feel when u drive a car. Rwd and a manual any day over double clutch awd. Infact ill say it, fuck the fan boys.

I love all beautiful sports cars, no matter who builds them. As long as they don’t break often and cost a fortune to service, then it’s worth my money. I just enjoy knowing GM builds at least 4 models that lap the Nordschleife in less than 8 seconds …Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, Camaro ZL1, and the other 2 are under 7:30 seconds which are the Corvette ZR1 and Corvette Z06.

Oghueq, I own both, but I get tired of people bashing my beloved Corvette when it has two of the top 20 times around the Nordschleife, along with Porsche 911 and 918, Aventador, 2 GTR’s, an Enzo, and an LFA, yet people still trash our American sports cars. They used to not be able to match up, but the lap times are showing that we are fast studies, even if America is late to the party. It helps that I own both, but I do love my Vettes, always have since I was 4 years old.

I wish youtube allow me to cut/paste links on here, but from all the resources that are available suggest that Lexus will release the title to you after the 24th month, if and only if, the car is fully paid off. No matter how you cut and dice it, you will only pay $375,000 + license fee + destination + taxes + other fees. So, when you receive that title, you can do as you please.

yea that was the same thing i was thinking at 1st when heard about this special buyers agreement (or what ever its called) but from what i’ve read online and conversions i had with other people is that you can’t sell the car directly to another person it has to go back to Lexus 1st and in the US after the 2 yrs lease you are given the option to buy the car which is a different cost not the same as the lease.. now i maybe wrong seeing as i don’t own a LFA

Please bitch! You’re now using the oldest trick in your troll arsenal, trying to deflect the attention away from getting your ass handed to you. Now by me! Listen, all kidding aside, if you need a witness to talk to the police about the ass raping you received here on YouTube, I will do that for you, because I saw EVERYTHING! I also want to forward a rape crisis hotline number if you become overwhelmed with the emotional toll and need to talk about it. The # 1-800- I GOT ASS RAPED

Did you log on to do your daily dose of flame-waring in the YouTube blogosphere? Because as evidence by your channel, that seems to be your specialty. Question: Do you come from a broken home?..is this why you’ve adapted this attention seeking pattern of behavior? Inquiring minds want to know!..

I keep repeating ReSanSax because I know it’s a very ‘sore’ (like your butt) subject for you! Snap! Couldn’t resist that pun. Besides, I’ve gone to your channel and can see your recent activity, and let me just say this, you’re a colossal douche-bag! You’re combative, you argue with everyone, about everything and its rare you have a decent thing to post. Hell, I’ll bet If you look up YouTube troll on Urban Dictionary I’m sure your fugly ass mug would pop right up, “KID”!

Every time Mercedes, BMW or Audi release a new performance model, they always release modest 0-60 numbers. Not once has either one of these companies claimed that their car will do 0-60 in a certain time, and then had it disproved later on by car review companies. Last E63 was reported by MB to do 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, same for the new M5. When the cars actually made it into the presses hands, they were able to achieve times of 3.7 to 3.9 on average for both cars. This E63 should be no exception

Yea i definitely got “owned” because I called him out on a statement he made in which he wasn’t able to defend with actual facts. Lmao.. get laid kid. Reading peoples debates and picking sides when no one asked for your input is a sign that your life is empty, and no one loves you.

THIS video is how to do a car review! I am blown-away!! FINALLY! Please let this guy review every car on the planet in the same way! Great insight, excellent details, interviews with key people, track time, street time, and no freakin’ music while we are trying to hear how the car sounds. Best car review I have seen in way too long. Great job!!!!
