Got lucky and won a ride-along in the brand new Lexus LF-A supercar at an exclusive Lexus event at AutoClub (formerly California) Speedway in Fontana, CA. video is pretty nasty, was with the worst phone i've ever owned, a Samsung BlackJack II. Video is Copyright ME! (PureDrifter) 2009 LF-A Specs: * 4.8-liter 72-degree V10 putting out 560 hp at 8700 RPM (thats 116.5 hp/liter) and 354 lb.-ft. of torque at 6800 RPM * Redline: 9000 RPM * Titanium valves, connecting rods, forged aluminum pistons, dry sump lubrication and a titanium exhaust manifold * Six-speed sequential gearbox * Torsen limited slip differential * 3263 pounds with a 48/52 front-to-rear weight distribution * Power-to-weight ratio of 5.8 pounds/hp * 65 percent of the body is carbon fiber * 20-inch BBS wheels wrapped in 265/35 ZR20 Bridgestone tires in front and 305/30 ZR20 in the rear. * 0-62 MPH (100 km/h) in 3.7 seconds * Top speed of 201.94 MPH Estimated Top Speed (from what i was told) on this run is ~172-175mph. It wasnt the speed, it was the sheer G-Force you experience in the corners and on the oval. Pruett, a multiple time ALMS winner, is a fucking beast behind the wheel, and yet makes it look RIDICULOUSLY easy (see-1 handed driving) Find me on ClubLexus @ PureDrifter!
