Congrats again Mike,
I am not very surprised that you said it was a better car overall than any italian sports car. But better than any car??? How about an MP, or some of the germans? What specifically makes it better than the MP?

I found the experience that this car gives to me (once again subjective view) is far more exhilarating than the MP4 Spider. Don't get me wrong, the MP4 is a fantastic car - but it can't match the LFA in build quality, it's just on another league. For a slighter higher price the gain is far greater.

I think the downfall of the LFA is it's exclusivity as well, at least for me over here. I could not even get behind the wheel of one of for a test drive. I took a big leap of faith on this one and it sure paid off.

For me it is the best kept secret from the last decade.

Thats good to hear and thanks for the feedback. I have owned a few lexus's and the RX seemed to have much better build quality than the brand new LX570, which really turned me off from the brand. I know the LFA is in another league. I have always heard about the great build quality of the MP.
Do you think the exhilarating factor is from the immediacy of the gas pedal being a high sprung NA crazy ass motor. And that no analog tachometer can keep up with the rpm winding up and down. I am getting excited just typing that
Anyway, its great to hear stuff like that about a car that has such few reviews on these forums.

Have to agree it's a beautiful shade of red and suits the LFA very well. Is that a type of Pearlized red paint or is it because of the lighting that give off that effect?
