The second roll we did again - as you saw there was a mis shift which can happen sometimes. The owner did very well for a 6 speed. A 10 speed would potentially be right beside the IS500 from a dig.
Please post quater mile times nd trap speed...
Potentially?! LOL.
Isnt there a few 10 speed mustang races on this channel? Could've sworn you raced a 10 speed against a Lexus before...
The a10 forsure is faster 🤣 but in the IS500 rights it’s the last Japanese muscle much respect I’m a fan of both but the Lexus quality is forsure insane in 15 year the cars gonna keep working original motor original trans where as the same can’t be said for the other American counterparts
@@BillySAw951 Of course they can. Depends on whether you do the proper maintenance or not.
Both great cars. Love the IS500. Bad ass car. And arguably the best looking small luxury sports sedan right now..
Those 5.0 Lexus engines sound great just need an exhaust setup that lets them breathe
A friend of mine has one with high flow cats and a Borla Catback on it. Sounds amazing!!👌🏽🔥🔥
@Branden Jaffri Lexus IS-500 hits 0-60 in 4.7 seconds lol what are you on?
@Branden Jaffri is500 hits 0-60 in 6.5 your tripping balls
@Branden Jaffri tell me you don’t know shit about these cars lmfao
@Branden Jaffri either your high or dumb.. I've got a IS500 & clocked 0-60 4.4 seconds with better Michelin Pilot Sport 4s summer tires..
Shifting that Stang seems agonizing. Definitely need a do-over with the 10AT instead. (Never thought I'd ever say that regarding the 5.0)
I agree. Fact is, no matter how good you think you are at shifting gears quickly, it just cannot compete with an auto/manual now a days.
@@SnakeDoctor5104 And that’s not the point, the point is driver connection.
GT has terrible a manual - the only way to go MT in the Mustang is Mach 1 and up (GT350/500). Tremec is the only way to go. Regular GT has MT82 (no-go).
@@WhitMX-5 speed > “driver connection”. Shifting gears isn’t the only way to connect to a car.
@@YasssStitch I wish the new gt500s came with a manual
Close races...impressive showing for the IS500 here. Well done 🍻
Wow that wrap on the Mustang is tacky as hell 😂
He got a base model GT performance😂 not even leather seats lmao
@@taylordugan4561 so?
@@taylordugan4561It’s still a 6 speed Mustang GT. What’s your point?
@@MJmusikstix it’s the 21st century . 10 speed all the way faster gears to
Mustang 10 speed automatic would of been ideal against this Lexus.
As a Lexus fan myself I want to see the mustang automatic 10-speed as well against this car I would never forget down in San Antonio Texas a 5.0 mustang got beside me and hit it sound like lightning and nothing but loud exhaust and he just disappeared from everybody I'm thinking to automatic would have been a different story in this race just saying
No doubt , I just dnt see myself or any real enthusiast choosing a 10 speed mustang. Just to be a little faster I’d rather mod the car and enjoy the drive everyday.
dam that mustang have to be slow to not beat this lexus even the stinger gt beat the is500 from a dig
The American 5.0 vs the Japanese 5.0...great match up...I thought the GT would slightly edge it out but damn the is500 run hard!!!!!! GT in 10 speed might be ahead tho them cars are ridiculous. I love the fact both cars are top end based.
I was surprised to see the GT as close to the Lexus as it was in some of these races, put me in the Lexus against the GT!
GT will have 480 hp in 2024 so that might make it interesting.
@@XanomorosISF is way slower stock
Nice close racing. Interested to see the 10 speed auto. Keep that content coming.
Thanks! Will do!
Some of the best races I have seen of all time on RUclips, great work to all! The Lexus IS500 is way more practical, just imagine if Toyota made an enthusiast version with a 6MT.
It’s very lopsided, the Mustang with the 10 speed transmission is much quicker.
Agreed. My RCF can beat a manual 18+ mustang but I get bodied by that 10r80. Rowing your own gears is so much more fun even tho it's slower. I hate that manuals are going away. There is a connection with a manual that this generation will never understand.
@@senseimasters a driver mod in manual 18 plus will beat a RCF no doubt
@@senseimasters yea cuz I’ve beaten RCFs and ISFs in my manual. Gotta find better drivers to race.
@@senseimasters I wish we could keep manuals and automatics but soon we will lose both lol.
@@TheBb6prelude Well I haven't been beaten by a manual one yet. Just can't shift fast enough even with a short shifter and a good transmission. And these Mustangs in manual don't have good transmissions.
2UR-GSE ftw.
I love mine!!🥰
Funny how people say you should buy a manual then when they lose they say you should race an automatic
Really, really well shot video. WOW!. 👍🏼😉 Thanks.
Dope video. You can tell Sam still has love for the IS500.
That Lexus Sound🥵💪🏼🔥🔥🔥
Get a 5.0 auto and do it again. That dude manual shifts like a noob.
Agree
I think the same.
I think the same.
Don't they always in Sam's videos?
@@norwegianblue2017 everyone seems to be a professional at manual driving on RUclips. 🤷 If you’re not Evan Smith or Ranger though I don’t think many people have much room to talk.
The MT-82 is not a good transmission
😭
Its not bad either but overall the lexus is just the better car.
Fuck yeah lexus crushed it but to bad it looks like shit.
@@alpe6228 no its not lol the mustang driver just fucken sucks at driving. Plus its an automatic vs manual get an automatic mustang and it will be totally different
I have the mt82 and it's the worst
Nice! You make great videos my guy...but why does the mustangs taillights continue to come on and off during that drag?
Job security??
That reving of the IS at the beginning was hurting my heart. 😔
I think the issue with the IS 500 in the first roll race is that if it isn't already in the lowest possible gear it will not downshift all the way to it in auto when you just gun it while cruising along, even if it's in sport s+ mode. It's the main reason people complain about the transmission in that car, because it does everything else so well.
What exhaust installed on that stang? It sounds really mean 🔥
Nice races (aside from the one with the mishift) The 10speed auto mustang is actually much quicker than the Manual 6speed
Dear God that mustang needs a driver mod.
They are so close. Need to do it again with a 10 speed 5.0.
Damn did they wrap the is500 in-between races? :) Jk
Great races thank you for uploading. Gj mark wrangling the m6!
Looking fwd to next vid
Awesome race Stang GT vs Is500! Yeah the 10 speed Stang GT would of took this race walk off.
You’re not very articulate lol.
Sadly that Lexus are eliminating the naturally aspirated V8 engine as opposed to turbo charging their V6 engines.
I’m going to miss all Lexus V8 engines 😢
Both amazing cars I would be happy with either one you simply can't go wrong
I've always been a Mustang fan, was my favorite overall muscle car before I got the IS 500. The Stang sounded freaking amazing, kudos to the owner! I told you in other videos Manual and Sport+ would present a different result. Ya gotta listen to the *passionate* owners. The IS 500 is the embodiment of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and the real owners only bring Mr. Hyde to the dance...
Now I can sleep better knowing Lexus won
I am glad you are learning how to manual shift the car. As an ISF owner the manual mode is superior to automatic mode without any doubts. so anytime i see people racing in auto mode with the lexus online I automatically know they dont know.
That race was great!!!! Glad I picked the Lexus IS 500
Mustang sounded sick as in ill, like its driver was short shifting well under the pwr band. Also sounded on each lauch like he missed a gear and it went from 2nd to 4th, huge rpm drop, you can hear it.
Have you had the BMW M550i on the channel before ? Seems like a car that's been under the radar and haven't seen much of it while having 530 Hp in the newest one if I'm not mistaken. Would love to see it in some races if you can get your hands on it
No not yet
It runs like an M340i xdrive because even if it has an extra 143hp for us spec it is heavier ( m340xi has gpf in Europe so 374hp instead of 387 )
Interesting! The Walk distance was about the same distance (two cars) when I raced the IS500 from a dig in my Acura
It’s awesome seeing two cars on a channel with different goals compared . It’s also nice to see cars that average people can afford to buy doing a comparison. I only recently found this channel and I’m a huge fan of the content.
Average people can afford a $1k-1500/mo car payment? The MSRP of the IS500 is actually more than the average salary in America.
@@sidefx996 if you graduated high school , have a job and you’re in your mid 30s there is no reason you couldn’t afford this car. The only people I know who couldn’t afford this car are the ones who dropped out of high school and work in fast food. The Lexus is cheaper than most of the newer trucks you see on any construction site.
Edit: In two years once the current car market crashes this Lexus will be a bargain. I agree the current car market is high but under normal circumstances this car should be at least $10k cheaper.
@@01gtbdaily30 If you graduated high school there is also no reason not to know the difference between "your" and "you're." According to Experian the "average" 25-34 year old also carries almost $80k in debt. Your definition of "afford" and mine are apparently different. Paying the car off in cash whenever you feel like it is being able to "afford" it. Struggling to keep up the payment each month to keep up appearances? Not so much...
@@sidefx996 well if you want to critique my grammar you would see that I used the proper “you’re” but I forgot a word while typing quickly. Both versions of the word are now included to make you feel better . It’s also ironic that you made a spelling mistake while being very judgemental about mine. I’m sure the end of your comment was supposed to say “Not So Much “ but you wrote “No so much” but I’m not an asshole who will point that out.
Secondly , even very wealthy people don’t buy everything in cash and saying you only buy what you can pay for in cash just means you can’t afford a car loan or have bad credit. I assume you will never buy a house because you only buy what you can “pay cash for” . Elon Musk who is one of the richest men in the world secured a loan in his purchase agreement for Twitter.
The way most people look at affordability is if their money into their bank monthly is more than their money out of their bank monthly. My wife and I make enough that we each have our own car loan and share a mortgage . We never have to “struggle” to pay our car loans or mortgage because we are adults and have what’s called a “savings account” which holds our extra money we have saved aside from our retirement fund.
@@01gtbdaily30 Well I'll certainly agree with you on how most people view "affordability." Problem is if they miss just one paycheck their mortgage (or rent) and car payment will be past due. That may not be YOU (or I) but you know it's plenty of other people who can "afford" the payment. I do own a house and I see owning my home in cash as more important, which it will be in just a couple more years. I also view it important that if I wake up in the morning and want to tell my job to fuck off that I can sit on my ass and grow a giant beard wrenching in the garage for at least the next year and still comfortably pay my bills and everyone can kiss my ass. That's more important to me also than an IS500 payment. I wasn't referring to you directly but I guess you (and most other people) and I have differing views on the definition of "average" and "affordable." Again I can promise you that the average person who graduated high school with a job in their 30's can't comfortably (at least in my view) afford an IS500. I work a second job on the side for someone exactly like that. Garage and driveway full of nice vehicles , expensive house constantly getting remodeled and expensive fishing boat. Wife with rich friends. Yeah he can "afford" it but he's always a nervous wreck who makes monthly payments on EVERYTHING and hasn't had a good night's sleep in decades.
It really should be Stang vs RC F. They compete in the same segment. The IS500 is not competing with the Stang, different markets, fun race though. Love the Lexus V8 growl aswell as the deep gurgle noises from the Stang V8.
Yeeeeaahhhh ,,, woohoo 💪💪😬,,Great race !!!
Awesome race! Both cars are very evenly matched as apparent by the roll races where traction and shifting matter less. I don’t think the 10 speed mustang would have done any better considering the extra weight.
You’d actually be very surprised to see the difference between a 6 speed manual vs a 10 speed stang. Two whole different outcomes
@@dz_gt500 right. I have raced both in my RCF...huge difference. I'll beat the manual 9/10, I get gapped by the auto just as often.
In every performance test I’ve seen, the Mustang with the 10 speed automatic transmission is a fair bit quicker then the manual. 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds with the automatic, vs 4.4 with the manual. In my opinion, I would still prefer the manual though, much more fun to drive.
is this in picton?
I think it would have been more fair automatic vs automatic. Take driver error out of clutch starting a pretty powerful rwd car .
Blah blah blah run what you brung
@@bigsho5218 im not interested in wich one of these two drivers is a better driver. I want to know about the cars..
When I was younger and I was car shopping and doing research for my first ever car I stumbled upon the lexus IS350 and eventually after years of that being my dream car I finally found an 06 for 9k and so I bought my dream car. Next on my list is an IS 500 or at the least I'll take a newer IS350
No going to lie I was rooting for the mustang but I’m impressed. Maybe jdm is the way to go
The guy with the Mustang...is that SNOW 😅 I think they spelled his hit song wrong on the side of the car though😅
Both awesome options, just depends on what you want, can't go wrong really
The IS500 isn't really built for the drag race. Once they take corners that IS will pull away from the Stang. Just going by this video you may think they are comparable but really they ain't.
I’d much rather look out my window and see a Lexus in my driveway tho…. 🤷🏻♂️
Both cars are matched quite well displacement weight and power. Manual is more engaging but every shift it will lose momentum even with rev match. On the roll the manual performs as a 10R which commands the perfect gear and gallops where old autos would lose steam.
what a stupid race. what a waste of my time watching this...
I love this type of racing auto vs stick shift just look at the communication the driver has with his car auto it's just looking ahead all time stick shift it's looking at the speedometer and having more fun winning or losing np
WOW that last Roll race had me at the edge of my chair🪑! Great match up ! 😃👍🏾
In roll 2 that mustangs shift wasn’t that good for a sec it looked like it hit a wall but the driver in the mustang did really good
10 hp & 10 tq w/o the 10 speed was what swung it in the Lexus' favor imo. Great match up nonetheless!
@@nozopoke1782 yea? I figured considering that manuals have less drivetrain loss than the automatics it would have helped at least. But considering that it's the manual w/o the 10speed, 10 less torque, and 10 less hp its an uphill battle lol. Even if it was an older model without the new emissions limitation a missed gear throws the race anyway
Lexus nailed it with that IS500.
The last roll...2 thumbs up guys! too bad on the misshift in the 2nd roll
amazing cars...can they do a hybrid v8 electric awd version...cause the b58 + ZF setup is hitting the market STRONGGGG!!! lol
I would say it was pretty even. Nice races!
Yea okay guy
great video men as always... but hmm the stang needs a real driver fact.
You should include the quarter mile times of each race
good run
In roll races the lex isn't in it's power band even with my ls400 I notice off the line and rolling 20s is best because it's within range , the torque off the line is noticed , I still miss my Celica GTS 6 spd launching it keeping up with some V8 and slot of v6s
It was very well done by Mr. Mustang
10 Speed 5.0 would edge out the IS. The 10 speed is amazing. Can’t wait to see the race with 10 speed vs IS.
Test drove an IS 500 the other day. Salesman hammered it leaving the lot so got a good dose of WOT. It had 10% dealer markup and about $6k more in questionable add-ons.
Got a 2023 model not too long ago which meant no markup for me. Premium spec so all options ticked. Frankly I enjoy the car a lot and that engine is so intoxicating. However, too much of a markup puts it in a seriously competitive price point (more so) where you can get MUCH faster cars if you're so inclined. That said with MSRP and snow tires so I don't die when the next storm hits, I love this thing.
Why not a At 10 speed?
All I can say is the 5.0L won the race 😁
The better sounding 5.0 won thats for sure. Mustang sounds like shit.
It lost in the 0-60 and it lost in 2 rolls out of 3, how did it win, lol
The sound of that Stang 😩
If the mustang in automatic transmission it would smash the Lexus but unfortunately this the disadvantages of manual transmission you should be so professional in shifting the gear if miss one gear its end 🤷🏻♂️
A Mach 1, with a manual, Car & Driver got 4.5 seconds to 60 out of it
The Gt should be about a quarter second behind that, with slightly less power
The 10-speed should beat the Lexus by about a half second in the 60/quarter
The 4 extra gears would make a night and day difference, plus faster shifts
If you are into automatics get lexus if manual maybe mustang. But wish lexus, bmw, and audi offered manuals
He doesn't want to run a 10A. There is a huge difference in performance. You can't out shift an automatic. the engine compartment is very dirty. The guy in the Mustang is not the best stick driver, seemed timid.
Difficult to compare one stab it and steer the other one takes skill especially launching. You have to run the 10 speed auto Mustang versus the Lexus Sam. I think you’ll find a very different result.
Almost 4 thousand pounds for the Mustang?? When did it become such a pig? That’s nuts…that said thanks for the video.
Vin diesel: granny shifting not double clutching like you should. Lol
Stick stang 12.5. 115. 6 so. Lexas auto 12.1. ,116. Mustang. G t. Auto 11.8. 119. Any questions???
Good shifting by the 5.0 driver
Yeah, I think a 2021 Mustang GT (AT) would do a little better. Or even a 2021 mustang GT manual since it would be lighter than the automatic but still with 10 more ponies and torque !
10r80 is not just a little better. It's a whole lot faster.
Can u show mph please ?
is500 vs GSF???
Mustang did good, despite having standard transmission,
Please use paddle shifters for VW races
Good Sport! Mustang sounds sick!
The asian driver adds 25 hp
I hate when Chinese ppl. Drive in the left lane free way. And down 45 miles pr hr
_Now can we get that V8 in New Supra._
Oh gosh.
Just get a RC F lol
Lol good *real* drag races guys
I'm making this comment before I saw the video....An automatic against a 6 speed manual....The automatic will win!!!
M340i vs IS500 please... Mustang driver shifts are on a geologic time scale..
Coyote is clearly the faster car, just needs a driver mod.
I’m not a racecar driver but… the driving in this video… 😮
Sam, would love if you can find a Chrysler 200S/300S. Those are sleepers!
Those are nothing
Eww a pos Chrysler 🤮
Same displacement, very similar sound, very similar performance, wow, to be fair I think it should be RCF vs mustang GT 10 speed right ?
Lol!
Imagine a V8 like the IS500’s in a Mustang.
I love this Lexus!
So LT1 is actually faster than Mustang GT?
This is a manual, need to compare to a 10 speed
I wonder how the is500 would do against a ten speed
It would lose
Need a better driver in the mustang, as most of the shifts weren’t carrying power through, especially 1st to 2nd gear.
Sam when you used manual paddle shifters on roll you preformed so much better.
Stang also lost 10 hp and 10 lbft torque due to emission regulations.
Buddy dropped the ball with his third pedal prowess.
They both have similar power & weight. But that 10-speed transmission in the Lexus will keep its 5.0L V8 in its sweet power-band better.
It's an old 8 speed, not the new 10 speed on the LC500.
@@tropicalstorm339 That "old" 8 speed in the IS500 beat the LC500 on this channel.
@@jpizel1070 The LC500 is 400 pounds heavier.
It’s amazing how much of a dog the Mustang is with that terrible manual transmission. It’s a crime ford put such a terrible 6 speed in it. Even still the amazing high end of that coyote can still shine from a roll. Gotta do a rematch against a 10speed though.
Love Manuel transmission but the 10speed stang would’ve beat the Lexus 💯 percent specially roll race
