The LFA Nurburgring numbers must de taken with a pinch of salt, independent times is what I’m after, not Toyota’s as Asian brands do over estimate their times.

Talking about LFA, there's a unusual comparison that i want to see. Buy a Toyota Crown or Toyota big Saloon and then put LFA V10 in there. After that, buy a 1964 Chrysler Imperial or the other Chrysler car then put 8.4L V10 from SRT Viper GTS in there. At last, buy some old BMW 5 series and put V10 from new M6 in there. I really want to see the result from that battle. It's gonna be silly and crazy
