    Dude you seriously need to put that IS500 in manual mode during a race. The computer isn’t going to rev out the way it needs and it’s shifting early. The 2UR is all top end. -GSF owner

    This was honestly a good ass race. This outcome honestly was what I expected between the two tbh. The transmission in auto definitely is inconsistent in roll races I can 100% confirm that. Sometimes it goes all the way to 7k rpm in sport plus and others it'll short shift at like 4.5k-5k rpm. But damn I still love it though.

    The power to weight is similar. In fact, if you factor in both HP and torque figures. You come up with exactly the same ratios for both. The IS just weighs a bit less so it hops off the line better. Lightweight's advantage.

      It's entirely acceptable for the Lexus NA V6s to get shredded at stop lights. They have always been more about reliability and luxury, with a relatively strong engine...but they are not fast. The F's and the IS500, that narrative won't fly. These are meant to be performance machines, not just a bit quicker than the Non-F's, like actually competitive performance machines. Thing is, the Fs and Is500 still lag in straight line performance, relatively speaking.

So it's nice to see some wins here and there! 🏆🏁 I'm actually surprised at how well the Lexus puts power down. Is it because of the relatively lower torque (vs other V8s) or the gearing, or is it actually the traction control system?

    I can't believe these are the last natty v8s....I'm goin to go in depression...I've been driving v8s all my life with some exceptions Lexus GS, 300zx, 528i, and daily Altima....all my other cars owned was V8 sedans, corvettes, SUVs.....I'm infatuated with 8 cylinders never drove v10 or 12s

  • @Soh90
    @Soh90 Год назад +16

    The IS launches good thanks to its lack of torque….
    The IS is pulling slightly harder on the top end. That first roll race the Charger driver kinda chested because the stayed behind and accelerated BEFORE the start cones so he was already carrying speed while the IS was just rolling on. The second roll race at a higher speed showed that the cars are very evenly matched, but it looks like the IS was creeping forward still. Overall, awesome cars, awesome race. I could own either of those cars.
    One tidbit, the IS and RC are much better in manual mode. I’m very very sad to hear that you’re selling the IS500. There’s TONS of potential in that car. Many people with RC’s are able to get 500hp out of the 2UR with very little effort. Sad to see her go Sam.

      It's bizarre to think that when they came out with this body style many years ago that they thought it would age gracefully.... When it didn't even start out gracefully 😄. Even though the Challenger is a boat, it's not a bad looking car. The charger has always been awkward and overstyled/goofy and it should never have been named the charger. To put the stickers on and the flashy paint just emphasizes how outdated this car has become. Just an opinion. At least they have the power to move their lardy asses! But it's time to pasture- ize it!
