The Carbon Ceramic Brakes would have thrown me thru the windshiled if it wasn't for the seat belts. Fantastic car but, worth $375k, I don't know about that.

It revs from idle to 9500 rpm (yes, rev limit is exactly 9500 rpm) in 0.6 seconds only.
God I love the LF-A sound. Just unbelievably amazing. When I first said LF-A was astonishing on this board, many BMW owners were laughing at me.
Lexus has created some of the most sterile and boring cars on earth that no one takes them seriously. I never considered an IS350 when I got my 330 CI despite the IS being only a tad more expensive, but man when the came out with the LF-A, they came out with a Nagasaki sized bang! It backs it up with Nurburgring endurance race wins. It is definitely the best new supercar overall.
