You are citing 0-60 times to gauge a SUPERCARS performance. Let's see how well that GTR keeps up after it's quarter mile trap speed. 0-60 in regards to 500HP cars is absolutely worthless.
My Evo can hit 60 in under 4 seconds as well, too bad after 60 all the cars with gobs of power who don't have an AWD traction advantage off the line will fly by me.

MFR suggested 0-60 MPH 3.7 seconds.
I wasn't even arguing about "value". The people who could afford to buy the LFA, 599GTB, Aston DB9, etc., those people wouldn't worry about "value" (in your own terms). Supercars and "value" don't go hand-in-hand. Try the Corolla instead!
Here's ONE aspect that the GT-R and Z06 don't beat the LFA in (much less ALL aspects). The steering wheel alone costs more than the whole GT-R or Z06.
:
This guy just looks at "speed" (and not like the LFA is slow) and thinks that alone determines the price.
If you think the GT-R could keep up with the LFA with 5.7 lbs/hp, then you're crazy. It'll keep up at first, thanks to the AWD launch, but after 100mph, the LFA will leave it far behind.Watch and observe:[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZlGMX8G3B4 [/media]
Notice how the GT-R could keep up at first, but falls behind later. The LFA is in the same league as the ZR1, 599, etc. in speed, what with its 5.7 lbs/hp.
Not that I don't like the GT-R (for under $100K, not many cars I'd rather have), but it's clearly not in the same league as the LFA, and to say it beats the LFA in all aspects is just ridiculous and stupid.

The LF-A may be able to beat me in a straight line, but I'll keep up in the twisty's in my Fit Sport with 100 shot nitrous bottle in the back. It will surely wipe the smug smile off the LFA drivers face.
