I would bet MFR plates. My buddy use to work for Honda Corporate and I believe the pre-production cars he brings out have MFR plates. I'll check next time I see him.
Lexus LFA vs Acura NSX! - Head 2 Head Episode 13 [Motor Trend]
- Thread starter knuck
- Start date
Let's be honest.. if we were given a choice we'd all take the LFA!
For free that is.. the NSX is the one i'd buy with my own money.

Haha I 100% would do the same or maybe sell it for the new NSX

Awesome vid, I'm happy to be a part of history
No kidding, let me know if you find one
Well with an old 5.1 and SC its close enough for the price difference IMHO.
You can suppliment the sound by throwing $100's out of the window :tongue:
i love how mine sounds with foam filter, DF AIS, CT-Eng Headers and Pride V2. i can drive modern supercars all day, hop into mine and be perfectly content with the sound. very ferrari-like.
i did hear an NSX i mistakened for a Lamborghini once... not sure what exhaust he had...

The NSX needs a Pride exhaust....haha....
We need to get Motor Trend to Settle the R8 vs CTSC NSX question.
hahaha
well, one of two ways.
1. Buy an LFA and put an NSX logo on it!
2. Read the attachment and design your own! (notice, valve actuated!)
note: credit goes to Mac Attack for sending this to me long ago.

That was a great review! I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was actually surprised that he was very critical of the LFA in the beginning. From what I've heard, the LFA was praised in the magazines.
I do agree that given chance, I would take the LFA over an NSX. One of the best sounding cars, and it would feel more special having such a rare car. Both awesome machines!

WOW, that was spectacular to watch! 
Jonny Lieberman understands our passion for the NSX (and I completely agree with his high praises!).
I don't feel weird for owning multiple NSXs after watching this, and my red one looks just like the one in the video! :biggrin:

heh, I am in the minority I guess but I can't stand that whiney noise of the LFA. Perhaps it is different in person (never been in one), but on video it just sounds childish and annoying to me.

Really? That (and similar V10s [Carrera GT, V10 M5, etc.] are about as close to that F1 sound as you can get in a street car. You are entitled to your opinion though. I guess some people prefer that V8 burble.

See, the thing is, I think F1 cars sound stupid. I don't want a high pitched whine. Much rather have a deep, throaty roar than a scream.

Yeah. Different strokes for diff folks. But I really find it shocking that anyone would find an F1 car to sound stupid.
I personally don't understand it [the V8 burble]. You can take any V8, strap on a magnaflow, and you have that sound. AMG 63s don't do a thing for me personally.
That high frequency scream on the V10 only comes with an exotic V10 engine (usually reserved for rare and exotic vehicles). It's incredibly rare to come by.
