Lexus LFA day - revving up a $375,000 car

[hulbert87]

to the person talking about the skyline...sure you can polish the turd and make it look nice....but its still a piece of shit....compared to the LFA

[sjs2011]

would much rather this than a 458 italia.. PERIOD.

Get a clue son. I know 2 people in my office with 458s, one with a Murcielago. What are they going to think when i roll up in a LFA?

The LFA is special.. like MC12 special, like Mclaren MP4 special.

have fun driving your fucking skyline you little fuck

[meade916]

@sjs2011 hahah.....its funny, people that have experience with expensive toys like this have respect for the LFA. Its people who will never even get near one that have the most negative shit to say about them. This day here is probably the closest ill ever come to having one LOL but i cant see how anyone can hate such a car. This thing is incredible.

[666xXxXxXx666]

The only thing I dislike about that car is the fact "Lexus" is written on it. The same people who bought us the 'gorgeous' LS 400... Aside from that it's a fucking nice car. After seeing it being tested on Top Gear I was nearly in love. Sure $400,000 is expensive for a Lexus but it's about right for a Hypercar...

[danielcapers]

i was going to make a gay joke....butt fuck it.

[gordomazo]

Its a v10 size of a v8 as light as av6

[flooessea]

id buy one meade she's worth ever penny!!!

[123HUsoldier]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­ammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeee

[francismiladmissaghi]

Ausome video's Meade, been following your vids for the past 2 years

keep it up brother. cant wait to see where life takes you next and what other cars you get to take out for a joyride :)

Peace from Australia

Francis

[im131995]

Sweet dude

[meade916]

****Blocked - i have better things to do then argue all day with someone that has NOTHING better to do then sit in front of his screen and wait.

[Vgvgvg777]

@meade916

I read about this car....

The engineering is incredible BUT WHY PAY 375 THOUSAND for it.....

Im not knocking the car...im knocking the point that this shit is 375 thousand dollars...and a 80000 dollar skyline can keep up with it...if your paying nearly a half mill on a sportscar...I don't wanna 60000 dollar car keeping up with me..PERIOD..THAT'S MY POINT...u can get 2 ferrai italias for that homie...those V8's run waaaaay harder then a ummmmm a TOYOTA....women lie men lie..number don't

[meade916]

@Vgvgvg777 here we go again with the fucking INTERNET experts. I got a special invite from Lexus to come drive this car for a few hours and now all the annoying know it all's are coming in STRONG. Someday, you might get a chance to do something like this and i know for a fact if you post it, some douchebag who claims to know it all, sitting on the sidelines, will come in and try you bring it down. Thats the internet for you. Everyone is a fucking expert.

[titan709]

@meade916 hey meade no hate but y u like lexuses so much just curious thx

[meade916]

@Vgvgvg777 you really REALLY dont know much....why spend your time coming back here and attempting to act like an expert? This thing is almost 100% carbon fiber and mostly hand built.....there is only 500 of them being manufactured. Things that are rare cost money. I know its hard for you to grasp that concept. You can make a $15,000 honda civic faster then a Ferarri but you are still in a Civic....."homie". If you know so much, fill out an application at Lexus, they could use more "experts".

[saipanguitarman]

@meade916 seriously this is a stock lexus engine.. and this can woop many super cars out there .. c

[Vgvgvg777]

375 Gs for a Lexus is just retarded...any real car guy will tell u this is extremely over priced....plus there are too many videos of vettes and skylines keeping up with this car...NO HATE...this dude is indeed the man but this car is just too much.

Buy a fucking ferrai bro...SERIOUSLY...

[meade916]

@Vgvgvg777 a real car guy would know the reason why its that much. A real complainer would bitch about the pricetag on a vette, a skyline, and a ferrari just like you did about the Lex. You can make a go-cart faster then a vette but you are still driving a go-cart.

[saipanguitarman]

@Vgvgvg777 there is a reason why they price it this high .. go to the lexus company and file a complain.i ddaree you hahahaha

[ixyzyxi]

@Vgvgvg777 I remember a video of a ferrari getting owned by a smart car, maybe you can afford one and even an iPhone so you can go by ferrari owners and show them that video on your iPhone and be like lolol your ferrari got powned by a little smart car.

[skateblklabel]

I love the guages on these. nice video.

[dainiukas13]

I'd like to see what kind of magic you could do with this car in your garage :]

[webos1337]

Stop suggesting other cars. You really get what you pay for with this car, the pursuit of perfection.

[gymfreak0]

drool...

F**king awesome opportunity!

Dream car right there!

[ASUstompn2012]

People will get this because they are Lexus fanatics. I myself LOVE Lexus but would not drop that money for it. I would get a 911 Turbo S for about 170G's. that is just me though but I do love this LFA

[NathanHansen5254]

nice car steve, did u buy it or was it just a test drive??

[nakrysl89]

hey steve you know you could get a 2012 Nissan GT-R for like 91,000$ and its just as fast.... and if you wanted to you could make it faster than a Bugatti Veyron SS for 45,000$ more... just saying man. you could indeed have a beast of a car for a 1/3 of the price

[meade916]

@nakrysl89 at what point did i say i was buying this? If i was, why do you think i would come to you for advice on what i "should have" gotten? LOL - im all good, thanks anyway.

[thenoodleking]

@nakrysl89 How on God's green Earth can a GT-R be faster than a Veyron SS?

[rizjas9]

Steve! So now that your making all these new audio toys, and I call them toys for lack of a better word, you should make a camera mic that can handle a system like yours. I'd think you'd be surprised on the feed back you'd get on that.

[rafbassplayer]

facebook ( all souls avenue )

\m/(^.^)\m/

[xSkylineXMB]

so when does this car come out? i want one so bad.

[xXOldSkoolKornFanXx]

Twin Turbo?

[L4TIn0St4NdUp]

@xXOldSkoolKornFanXx nope naturaly aspirated thnx to Yahama it sounds like heaven

[xXOldSkoolKornFanXx]

[1kproductions]

[Graphicspittz187]

Love that car WOWW!

[zilverzero]

ITS PIKACHU!

[Rockyall]

Was this the fastest car you've ever drove, Steve? I wouldn't doubt if it was. Hopefully in your next video you give your opinions of it not just you driving it!

[EastAngliaUK]

OMG that car cost more than our house.

[Jaguwar1804]

I dont care to see you in it, youre a dude, why would I want to see you.

[meade916]

@Jaguwar1804 because your life is boring and you have nothing better to do, thats why. lol

[superchargedwhine1]

@meade916 he is on dual mode now. one hand on the keyboard and the other one on his dick. lolz

[XeNIGHTWOLFeX]

Steve if you trade your ISF in for the LFA, You'd be the only person I know, that has a car like that. Holy hell, I wish I had that kind of money for that car.

[meade916]

@XeNIGHTWOLFeX i wish i had the money too. Who said i was trading it in?

[infection918]

meade916, you cool driver!)))

[HtcDroidIncredible]

damn that thing is hella tight...words cant describe if it was blacked out like your isf

[Red04MonteLS]

amazing steve, you are one lucky bastard! haha

[CelticsFanBoy92]

I have this car, in Forza 3.

[kyle001993]

Damn that's a sexy sound.

[speeduplol]

is that car better then urs?

[TheESGcinema]

trade!!!

[mrchrisk36]

Wow when you revved it just wow!!!

[GamerDude485]

people are so envy in the comments, always got something bad to say. then when you get to drive a 375k car, they say (well its yellow, or ive seen faster/better cars) and im going wtf? i tell you people know all the answers dont they? dumbasses

[aj7m1]

Is that a prop rod on a 375k car? Very nice ride but no Lexus u can do better than a prop rod

[stefan90kauw]

Damn,,,, That car.........

[crippenfalyfe]

Too bad it's yellow, dope ride though.

[maxpower700]

lol, sounded like a videogame's supercar when you revved it!

[SapiaNt0mata]

@meade916 those Civic's you mention smoke GTR's only in 1/4 mile(but not all the GTR's.some of them)and they are not AWD like GTR and don't have handlng like the GTR.what about race track,touge(for those that don't know what touge is check yotube or google,i'm bored to explain it),drift track etc?they can't even come close to GTR.for that you need other Honda car,not Civic

[DeathFantazy]

тахо пизже

[antariusb]

Would you sell ur Tahoe for 1 of them cars!!! Lol

[jjchargerboy16]

@antariusb I wouldn't.

[Racer6666]

wicked throttle response.

[Loudizzzzle]

Don't tell yourself yea right bro... you are on pace to be able to afford that car in no time. It's pretty apparent that ya make good decisions and your marketability is off the charts. Your SMD site is blowin up with sponsors. Adsense loot is rollin in. Give it a year or two and I could definitely see this whip in your garage. LIKED + INCREDIBLE!

[therusty959]

So Steve, did you go for the black one or the yellow one?

[dyingangelo]

@therusty959 he didnt buy it.....

[pUNjAbiFlow23]

Congrats bro ;)

[candle2k]

I have got to say, that is a beautiful car. That thing is definitely a monster.

[BigLiuKang]

Steve, seriously, when do you sleep?

[meade916]

@BigLiuKang i can sleep when im dead. No time now. lol

[BigLiuKang]

@meade916 I feel your pain, I fly into San Fran every week from Montreal... 20 hours of flying/commute time plus 50 hours of work combined with work on my car doesn't leave me much time for anything else. Speaking of which, Sacramento ain't far... I should drive up for a "demo" :) Peace, and keep up the good work.

[666jasonxxxx]

@meade916 No doubt bro you look like a fat kid in a candy store lmao (give it hell you won't work).That what my dad used to tell me when I was going to have fun. He didn't believe in that just work.

[SSCobaltCrazy]

another word to describe it sexy

[jockser6000]

dang man what do you do for a living to be able to afford that

[24pointbuck]

if you ever sold the tahoe what would you ask for it, just wondering. lol

[JackAttack1000]

@24pointbuck steve will NEVER sell the tahoe. that's his baby and he has spent almost 11 years making it what it is today and it's one of a kind haha

[24pointbuck]

@JackAttack1000 i know that lol i just want to know what its worth, or what he thinks its worth

[Last0neStand1ng]

amazing car

[brutisking]

AMAZING CAR! Now that is a SUPER CAR!

YEE!

[biggboii89]

DO IT!!!

[ayala114]

i jizzed..when you reved it.. thanks for making my night! lol...

[vivatkamil]

WOW

;)

[MrBASSHEAD305]

Is that ur next wipe cuz!

[icool247]

sexy growl of a YAMAHA engine ! it sounds like an F1 engine

[killer505152]

Dang! 16k on that car!

[JuliusShmeano]

why not American Made? GT-40, Corvette, Viper?

[meade916]

@JuliusShmeano why not what? i dont get what you are asking.

[JuliusShmeano]

@meade916 Im not trying to be rude, only wondering.. but if your going to buy a high end sports car why not buy an American made one? I know Chrysler is owned by Fiat and GM took loans from the government but I think we as Americans should support the American Economy instead of purchasing from other countries.

[meade916]

@JuliusShmeano i will pass on the Chrysler lmao. Sorry bro, not to be rude but this is not the channel to come and play economist. Besides, Lexus/Toyota gives thousands and thousands and THOUSANDS of Americans jobs.....so you and anyone else who thinks like you do should be happy. FYI i bet chrysler has just as many foreign parts as any asian brand.

[JuliusShmeano]

@meade916 ok then...Just thought I would try to give a different perspective....Anyway, I live in Antioch and have been wanting to drive up to Sac to see your shop. I also would like to get quoted on a custom install for a few speakers for my 240z ( i know Japanese lol). do i have to make an appointment or could i just swing by?

[skateforfun0]

@JuliusShmeano cuz americans dont make that great of supercars thats why

[bigboogaard24]

@skateforfun0 ssc is all i gotta say, thats a super car from american and its better than a bugatti

[JuliusShmeano]

@skateforfun0 you obviously don't know what your talking about....damn I hate uneducated comments on youtube.

[CaliBornNraised916]

@skateforfun0 funny because USA produces the fastest production car in the world oh and the ford GT is one of the most reliable supercars

[calum0123]

@CaliBornNraised916 the Veyron SS is the fastest production car in the world and its not produced in the US.

[calum0123]

@CaliBornNraised916 The Veyron SS is the fastest production car in the worlds fastest production car and its not produced in the US.

[skateforfun0]

@CaliBornNraised916 noone cares about reliability in supercars, and the fastest production car is a bugatti

[CaliBornNraised916]

@skateforfun0 no one cars about reliability in supercars? your kidding me right?

[skateforfun0]

@CaliBornNraised916 no if you have the money to buy one you have the money to repair it, plus you most likely dont drive it to work and stufff, not a daily comuter car

[CaliBornNraised916]

@skateforfun0 yeah no shit sherlock its called being rich and just so you know reliability is one of the most important features of supercars, or else you could just go buy a honda civic and make it faster than some supercar.... your talking out of your ass just another internet "expert" I grew up around dirtbikes and cars, You ride a skateboard I wouldnt expect you to know anything about auto industry

[skateforfun0]

@CaliBornNraised916 except that the fact that skateboarding is one of the biggest money making inudstrys there is...

and if your againstt foreign than why honda?

im into imports, and imports are doing it right these days, dont get me wrong muscle cars are cool too

[CaliBornNraised916]

@skateforfun0 now you putting words in my mouth just shut the fuck up jesus. Yeah good fo skateboarding fo being a money maker I dont care and who said i was against foreign cars...like i said I wouldnt expet you to know anything about the auto industry

[skateforfun0]

@CaliBornNraised916 i wouldnt expecg you to either haha, or about akateboarding

[CaliBornNraised916]

@JuliusShmeano how many times does he have to say it....HE DIDNT BUY IT

[uwersayin]

@JuliusShmeano Lexus is the american subsidiary of toyota, your point is now invalid.

[loserwing]

dayum u must feel happy as hell man but why yellow? i never understood that part tho o-o but yea just fyi u shudnt rev a car past 40 cuz it might damage the engine just saying i heard from somebody

[dunkoholic]

buy it steve...i know u can afford it.. :)

[romario50001]

rich guy!!

[D0mSupra]

Damn man, chance of a lifetime lol

[ljturner2009]

He'll yeah pick that up big upgrade

[jonhatesyou]

HELL YEAH

[anubisprince36]

lucky!

[jsawyer2002]

That rocks steve, keep up the hard work. Did you ever think you would be were you are at now when you started making vids in you garage? I got some relative out in cali, when I visit your stop #1 we'll call it a detour..keep it real bro..

[theBVSS]

mother of god xD

[badboycoap]

Are you trading the ISF for that?

[slicemadice]

@badboycoap clearly he was kidding

[badboycoap]

@slicemadice / ha i guess.. but if he gets it that would be insane..

[GTtuner56]

That's a nice birthday gift, a lovely LFA video... :P

[woodoom4n]

It sure is a piece of Art !

[negerauto123]

omg sounds lovely!!

[MrForeverReal]

Shit man dont they know who you are your Steve Fucking Meade they should be giving you that car straight up for your ISF

[gpturbo81]

BALLS!

[bigjez]

Who cares if it only beat a gtr by a little its a piece of art the gtr is not close...also it has a yamaha motor not a lambo.

[rfofmiscellania]

That is an unreal fuckin car.... I be that would whip g's like fuck all. Sounds like a lambo

[johnnye263]

they did this car a1/4 mile against the gtr and it only beat it by a bumper just saying

[meade916]

@johnnye263 and i have seen honda civics smoke GTR's at the 1/4 mile.......its cool to say but it really doesnt mean that much.

[Bryanx89]

@meade916 +1 v10 at 9,000 Rpm!!.. sorry i just came steve... thinking of your new car and you yukon and your isf and your shop...and your wife.. lol one lucky man.. awesome bud.. keep up the awesome work on the Distortion Detector. SMD FTW FFS!!!!!!

[jp198780]

@johnnye263 gtr beat the LFA? lets not forget it's AWD.

[RaCeR063]

@johnnye263 the updated 2012 gtr destroys the lfa though

[meade916]

@RaCeR063 in your opinion.

[jwise36]

@meade916 people are fucking stupid, they dont understand that a car is not just about speed, its about the driving experience. The LFA is a piece of art. engineering and design come together. the carbon fibre body, v10, that exhaust note. thats what makes a car a car.

you really lucked out on that Mr. Meade. how fast you get it going!!!

[meade916]

@jwise36 exactly.....and i cant really say how fast i got it to go but it wasnt as fast as i wanted to go....but i did unleash it a few times :D

[fatguyonthc]

@RaCeR063 I learned something today. Do not mention GTRs to a Lexus owner. Base price of IS-F is 60k. Base price of a GTR is 90k. 30 more grand to get the same jump in performance that Lexus wants people to pay 300,000 dollars for. the simple reason so many of us are damn near blowing the GTRs dick is some of us with some hard work can actually buy one.

[meade916]

@fatguyonthc i learned something today too. Dont go out and do something extremely cool like drive an exotic sports car and make a youtube video because there is always someone out there like YOU who sit at home and call shots from the computer chair. You should do some research on what is involved with this car before you open up your pie hole. I could easily pick your car and your system to pieces but i dont see the point in going to someone else's channel and being a know it all prick.

[superchargedwhine1]

@RaCeR063 nope ur wrong...Lexus LFA just sets a new world record for production cars...7:12 Official Nurburgring lap record.

[RaCeR063]

@superchargedwhine1 nurburgring edition lfa set that lap, only 50 being made and costs $450,000 instead of 375k

[meade916]

@superchargedwhine1 yes, it did. Everyone is an expert though.

[S7Reaper]

That shit sounds SICK. I bet you could feel the motor up your spine.

[27plebe]

soo Fkn Sexy would like it in pepsi Blue ;)

[seglermichael]

lambo motor

[audiofanaticz]

ugh... wow... I think that car may have some balls!!

[khanhlehuu]

That car is sexy.

[chgotbanned]

omfg i love it, loved it since it came out

[c0d3rz42069]

That car is fuckin sick!

[WKF3]

Holy shit !!!!

[thelifeforreal]

Did Anthony go with you? if so then dam He is so fucking lucky to have a dad like you.

[guitar911rock]

ohmygod. i don't like toyotas or lexuses, but that thing sounds so nice

[yosh6278]

Steve i know you see yourself whipping one of those bad boys

[cames2222]

lucky man

[7dustinr]

all i got to say is...DAMN i be hatin lol

[DIXON12233]

[raptor750r]

this has got to be one of the best sounding engines out there!!

[FonziePoringBane]

Psh, my friends geo metro would kill that. :P

just kidding. AWESOME car though.

[bamfan2044]

@FonziePoringBane How many decals does he have? Remember every decal 100HP Those add up...

[FonziePoringBane]

@bamfan2044

Oh man its got atleast 1,000 hp then, the entire back bumper has atleast 50!

[tigolbity200]

hell yea, thats nice ha

[caraudioman16]

THAT IS A BEAST OF A CAR!!!

[OffensiveProduction1]

Only 500 will be 4.8l v10, little over 500bhp, over 360ft/lb torque. Can red line from 0 rpm to 9.5k in .6 sec I believe. Suppose to be a wish to the corvette zr1 and lambo gallardo, but it's a proto type for full scale production carbon fiber and light weight material vehicles.

[xXMrSanfordXx]

Buy it Steve!

[atomdragon4]

Amazing car! This car revs so quick, an analogue rev counter can't keep up with it so they had to put in a digital one. BAD ASS!

[dcorona1592]

Wow did u see how fast those rpms climb!!!!!! Jizzed muh pantz

[old12school3]

Damn Boy!! Very nice steve!

[INSANEFREAK1]

mmmmmmm love that sound

[sk8ergangsta2003]

OH my god that car is sex.

[rock962000]

Steve should be sponsored by Lexus and Rockford if he isn't already. Lol :P

[jerrylittlemars]

I'm tell ya, Toyota makes some kick ass cars!

[CaliBornNraised916]

@jerrylittlemars Lexus produces them, Toyota just owns them as a subsidiary

[BetoSurvivorMax]

Man thats such a badass car. Would look much better in black.

[99cavyz2499]

just lmao to the guy that said to get a Z06, u must be stupid
