Yeah I know that's why I'm wondering where this $550k came from?

I watched top gear when the LFA came out and they were replying that the price would be over half mil.

But correct, the GTR took them all.

Arguing for argument's sake. If I wanted that, I'd just spend some time with my wife.

The idea of comparing the performance for the dollar is a perfect way to assess the results of the race. There are apples, oranges and raisins here. NOT a good heads up comparison, in my opinion.

Weight was one of the biggest factors working against the BOSS. It is hardly designed to be light with a large price trade-off like many of the others.
