Lame. Why didn't they use the launch control???? 
But yeah the sound. If I had the means I would buy that car just to have that at my beck and call and to hear that everyday.

LFA won't beat a '12 GT-R in the 1/4.. but the LFA wasn't designed for straight line speed.

I'm sure this has been posted many times.. but a good breakdown:
This was before the GT-R got beefier (remember '12 GTR does 0-60 just over 2.5s and the 1/4 in the mid 10s).

I thought GT3 RS was only with PDK, maybe it's like the e60 M5.. made it with a MT to please enthusiasts.

now thats whats up !!!
EDIT: and about the jump, if you watch closely the driver turns the car in the direction he wants to go just before the jump, so he doesnt have to do alll the directional modification once he has landed....

yea i saw that but i'm just amazed at how the car responds when it lands! It doesnt slide at all in the direction it should be sliding it! Its not obeying the laws of physics!!
