      @jimmyfarley5581 Год назад

      ​@@_retrophile_7473 I totally agree with you. Bigger engine doesn't necessarily mean more power and more performance. People think a (500bhp) 6 litre V8 will be faster than a (500bhp) 2 litre 4 cylinder. Why? There's lots of factors involved. Capacity is not indicative of power output. A smaller engine can make just as much power as a larger engine. Why Tiff launched without revs is beyond me. Perhaps he was told to go easy on the very expensive transmission.

    I love the LFA to the moon and back, any which car vs LFA, I’ll always pick the LFA

    NOTHING BEATS THE LFA FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE AND RESALE IS NUTZ KEEP GOING UP AND UP

    First ever drag race in which I want the German car to beat the Japanese car (bit obvious though that the SLR would win, should've chosen two more equal cars).

    Honestly I only watched this video because I saw the Lexus LFA. That should tell you everything you need to know
