It seems it performs effortless and very smooth.

I'd take the ZR1. I can only dream of feeling the power with each shift and the sound that monster makes at 175 mph.

For the price you could get 3 ZR1's and some change. It looks much better than the supra concept thing which it was probably based off of.

Yup, for that price I'd get a ZR1, a Ford GT, AND a 458 Italia

I'd take a twin turbo Ford GT and save the rest for gas money.

Not feeling it for $400k. So many other cars that perform and look beautiful too compared to this thing. I guess I am really not a fan of current Japanese auto design.

IIRC, Lexus is going to lease the cars for a fraction of its 400 +/- K price tag.

In any event and not on topic, I wish auto manufacturers would agree on some sort of standard testing methodology at the 'ring when it comes to posting 'ring times

Read some more info ion the LFA today, not only are they leasing the vehicle (in a move similar to Ferrarri making sure they dont collect dust under a tarp in some investor's corner), but they are reviewing the applicants to make sure the cars end up in the hands of high profile people who can bring value to the Lexus brand by being seen in the LFA, or rather the LFA being seen with them.

Sorry guys, I can't get onboard with the LFA at all due to this. IMO the LFA isn't an expression of Lexus or Toyota anything, its just an expensive as hell (or cheap as hell depending on how much they spend on marketing) plublicity stunt. Its halo car taken to an ugly and silly extreme.
