If you have so much money that you can throw it all away on a car like this, then more power to you. But even if I won the lottery tomorrow and there were more allocations for the LF-A in the states, there's no way in hell I'd waste my money on it.

What he said
If you think people buy cars just to go fast, then that's flat out stupid

We have heard only 17 allocations within the USA. Our first LFA will actually be arriving to us from the EU. Look forward to posting images when it arrives to Houston. The Ferrari FXX is pretty amazing though, only 5 were built with a much more aggressive price tag and pre-requisites

Some of the logic in this thread defies.....logic.

PQ, Fen -- I'll take 1 LT, 1 SS, a Z28, a ZR1, and use the rest for gas.

Specifically?

Unless you know, and understand, anyone who has the wherewithall to "play" in the "Super Car/Exotic" league, it can seem to be very "illogical". But that doesn't make it "wrong", or "stupid", or anything else nasty...

It simply means YOU lack THEIR net worth...and therefore their "logic"... The "monied elite" ARE "different"...and so are their buying habits...

Bottom line for this thread:

Lexus has 500 Exotics, and sold them all before they made a single production version...for a total of almost $200 MILLION. Pretty good, I'd say...that's equal to about SIX THOUSAND Camaros, averaged...

Ever buy a Dupont Registry? Why? "To dream..."

"These" folks live it, they don't have to dream it...

As was said, earlier, 7:1 none of the LFA buyers "almost bought an SS instead..."
