Who hates this car? I want to punch you in the face. . .

Seriously though, I love it.

Hating the LFA is like hating Deep Blue. Their relevance may be obscure at best but the LFA is to motoring what Deep Blue is to chess - awesome things that still make you kind of go, "Huh?"

You get it. It's like mountain climbing. You do it because it's there. It's not for everyone, but just proving it can be done is reason enough.

Hmmm, I wonder if Toyota used an intake noise tube here as well.

But seriously, one of my favorite exhaust notes of all time (or at least for the modern era)

I don't hate it but I feel absolutely nothing towards it. I don't know what it is, the V-10 is absolutely amazing but other than that it is kind of meh. There is nothing else that makes it pop out at me and because of that I don't think about it often.

I respect its performance. But I hate the looks of it. The interior is the only part I could kinda get used to.

I am pretty sure we got our DI tech from this car, so hurray!

Also I agree with you.

Don't tell me about Deep Blue, that scares me. I don't want to be raped by robots

More a fan of a choppy, raspy, burbly, boomy, thumpy V8.

I like those a lot, but a high revving engine is always something to savor.

Except if it were not for this car, our engines maybe could have been EVEN LOWER!!

I really do wish auto manufacturers would collaborate more with motorcycle engine designers. They have their shit together and know how to make a no compromises performance engine.

Well it depends on what you are going for. I think most of the time car makers want a longer lasting engine with more torque. Bike engines generally have less torque. . . don't know about durability on the high revving engines though.

That is, I think, the only real draw of the dual clutch gearboxes. With a computer controlling the clutch, the automaker does not have to give a fuck about low end torque and instead focus only on high end power. The computer will make stalling impossible.

Bike engines are usually higher maintenance (but are also usually more harshly used), but can be extremely reliable. I've been revving the shit out of the engine on my bike for 4 years (occasionally even to the point of valve float), and beyond basic oil changes and carb adjustments, it has been rock solid.

I guess it might be cost then, because if a manufacturer is making a sports car they should give it a weapons grade engine, but if they want to keep it affordable something has to give. So how much do these engines usually go for?

The one in the LFA? Who knows, probably more than a decent house.

The one for my bike? Just made a deal to pick up a used one for $25!

I am so confused right now. I know that Lambo V12s are around the 60K. But 25 bucks for an engine. . . that can't be right? Also are we talking like 240hp 13000 RPM rev limit engine?

No nothing like that (god, I wish) it's a 30 year old rig that has not run in a few years. It is however, complete, turn over freely, and has good compression on both cylinders. All for $25 (twenty-five dollars) rev limit is about 10-11K depending on tuning.

And is it really only $50K for a Lambo V12? How complete is it at that price?
