For as awesome as the LFA is... I can assure you that Nissan has its targets set on Porsche and the ZR1/Z06 Carbon models as Nissan will never lure anyone who has access or even less afford a LFA to a GTR... Ever. The new GTR will be crowned the best sports car you can buy but unfortunately it'll never be considered an exotic.

no matter how many revisions and improvements they make, the GTR will always be a winner in my book

Haha, chris you're talking about the one in drivers village right? I went in for an oil change the other day and saw it in the showroom. I was drooling all over it! The salesman was watching me like a hawk lol. When he saw me looking around he was very nice and asked if I needed help with anything and I said no just wanted to look at the GTR and his whole demeanor changed he was like oh, then walked away haha.

yes travis haha. It's the third one I've seen in this area. DV had a black GT-R last year in the showroom too. And one of our clients drives a red one. I've seen it in our parking lot a few times .

Tempting but that's probably about 12-15k in damage..
And I'm not sure I would trust a salvaged GT-R at high speeds.

Ah I see, so it's the UBER model of LFA lol.
