    I'm not talking about the manufacturers themselves, I'm talking about the models...the GT-R is pretty much Skyline heritage and is made for out-of-the-box racing whereas the LF-A will be more like "go fast with luxary." Sorry, I worded my idea wrong...

    I gotcha, the problem is the fact that all Toyota has to do is say "the LF-A needs to be faster than the GTR" and BAM it's done, they have too much money and too many racing engineers. They wouldn't even need to put that much effort into it.

    if toyota wanted to build a 700k supercar that would smoke any production car,they probably could....but i think the LF-A will deff take the GT-R and the NSX

    Yea but the LF-A will probably be over 150k and the GTR will cost less than 80K, its a super car on a budget. Id take the GTR, plus it has a racing pedigree.
