Well, Car & Driver just tested the LFA

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/car/10q1/world_exclusive!_2012_lexus_lfa_tested-short_take_road_test

DIMENSIONS:

Thus far, it looks like performance is pretty much on par, if not a little shy, of the Z06. Except for fuel economy, Z06 clearly beats it there.
