[Video]: InsideLine: 2012 GT-R vs 2012 LF-A




At least the LF-A sounds good.

Good post, not sure what Edmunds is trying to prove though. AWD GT-R vs RWD LFA on what looks like a 1/4 mile run, a better test would have been a 30-120 mph run. 2 sexy cars but in totally different classes if you ask me, GT-R = value sports car / LF-A = ultra exoitc (not worth the price IMO)

side note - that LF-A has the sexiest sound ever to come out of a street car.

Questionable when compared to the likes of the CGT (esp with straight pipes), they are pretty close sound wise. My all time favorite sound is the zonda r though... The sound that that thing makes is mind blowing.


Also, edmunds has nothing better to do to be honest. They do things that the most readers/listeners/watchers will know about (0-60, 1/4 mile). IMO I used to think that the LF-A wasn't worth the money, but it is a car you buy when you don't have anything else to buy.
