Also, it's not just about top speed that makes a car great. It's also acceleration/handling/overall performance of the car.

And sometimes not even that. My favorite car is the LFA and it can be beaten by everything in its price range and a lot below its price range. But no other car makes me feel quite the way that car does. Exotics should elicit that deep emotional response and there's no car like the LFA for that, for me.

And that's totally fine. I just hate when people throw out a bunch of numbers and say that's why a car is better than another car. A car is not driven on paper.

I wouldn't say the bugatti is overrated, over priced maybe.

Yeah, I feel a similar way about the LFA. They only cost about as much as an Aventador (even less) now, but compared to Aventadors, which I see every day, seeing an LFA in person is about as exciting as seeing a Veyron.

LFA's sound so freaking good, and those tri pipes are killer

Maybe Idaho? Are those states even real?

Idaho, Utah, what's the difference? They're both large states with pretty much nothing in them.

I don't think Volkswagen want's to lose any more per car than they already do.

I agree with that. And even if it were to be over priced they are still selling so it doesn't matter that much.

Would Vipers be considered underrated or overrated?

Yeah, I'd say a Veyron would probably sell more quickly than an LFA. I saw an LFA at a Toyota dealership over a year and a half ago, and apparently it's still there (I don't know how long it had been there before I saw it).

There could be a chance that it has already been sold but the owner hasn't picked it up yet. I know it may sound crazy but at the Lamborghini Dealership near me they have a brand new Alfa Romeo 8C that was purchased over 4 years ago and the owner has still yet to collect it.

LFAs are very weird in that sense. A lot of them went to dealership owners. The two LFAs closest to me are owned by dealer owners, however one of them is actually driven whereas one has sat in his showroom since delivery. I know when the LFA was first sold, customers could not buy the car outright because Lexus did not want them to flip it for a profit. Because of this, many of them have been stuck in dealerships, and I guess now that it's "old," people aren't buying it now.
