Look at the 458 italia V8 specs compared to the V10 in the LFA:
Ferrari 458 - 4.5-liter V8 570 horsepower at 9,000 rpm and 398 pound-feet of torque at 6,000 rpm.
Lexus LFA - 4.8-liter V10 552 horsepower and 352 pound-feet of torque at 9000 rpm.
There is honestly nothing that the LFA does, that is special. Even for $200,000 is does nothing special.
And to the Toyota Fanboys that keep stating the LFA ring time. The ring time that is "unofficial", the ring time done by a non-production car, the ring time that has been taken down by almost all websites. That time is a joke.

How does the California trump the LFA?
On-paper specs mean very little. The 458 may rev as high, but who's to say its engine feels as responsive? Just because two cars may have the same redline doesn't mean they both get there in the same fashion.
Go ahead and try to refute the words of journalists who have driven the car. You can't. Neither can 997GT3.
