imagine putting a turbo on it, there 200hp easy extra power, but i dont know who will do it as far as the engine is made well, but no room at all under that bonnet really, but i bet someone will especially in the usa or even japan, twin turbo version for sure?

[@b00st3d92]

This car isn’t underrated it is actually a lost cause lol. I love Lexus but this is sad. Around Car & Drivers Lightning Lap at VIR it posted a slower lap time than a base M4 from 6 years ago and slower than a AMG GLE/C-S SUV. Slowest car in its class. With the RR Racing supercharger which is the only real forced induction performance for the IS-F, RC-F, GS-F ect and fbo on E85 the barely crack mid 10 sec 1/4 miles, where as a stock M3/4 100% stock aside from a custom E85 tune and Toyo R888R tires are managing 10.7’s with a higher trap speed.

I really enjoy both reading your articles and watching your videos in KZbin channel. You started too late compared with other car review channels but you not only caught up well but also surpassed many of them! I think currently you are the best Australian channel in KZbin. I love the way you provide VBOX data for cars. Other channels only talk about cars without performing any kind of performance measurement which is boring. At first you only measured 0-100 km/h but later you added 0-200 km/h to your data panels.This is really great to see how high-performance cars perform after 100 km/h which is way more important than 0-100 km/h which is just a drag strip measurement. The only thing your reviews lack now is adding 0-160 km/h for normal and weaker cars. For example, you can measure 0-160 km/h time of Mazda 6 2.5L in the same way you measure 0-200 km/h of a Lamborghini Huracan. I think this will make your acceleration data more attractive and better for analysis. It doesn't do any harm if we can have a small top-end performance data (0-160 km/h or 100-160 km/h) for anything lower than a high-performance car.

[@PDriveTV]

Thanks very much for your feedback. We will take that into consideration.

[@ApothecaryTerry]

This gets my vote, would love to see what lower performing cars do at higher speeds, considering traction isn't an issue it'll give a much better idea of the real gap between cars.

[@Messergebnis-liebhaber]

@@ApothecaryTerry Yes, 0-100 and 400m are only good for dragsters. 100-160 and 100-200 are for real racers!

[@ApothecaryTerry]

@@Messergebnis-liebhaber Times from 0 are still useful as racing people at the lights is always fun ☺ Overtaking performance is more useful really though. Also times from 0 tend to rely on the driver whereas anyone can consistently replicate higher speed stuff making it more relatable. I remember looking at an E92 M3 and loads of people were posting 1/4 mile times a full second off what it should do because it's hard to launch. Here in the UK it doesn't matter for that, but it does tell me that if I floor it off the line it will try to kill me, which I could do without!

[@Messergebnis-liebhaber]

@@ApothecaryTerry Yes, the consistency of rolling runs is the reason I prefer it over standing still runs. A Nissan GT-R will beat a Z06 from a dig but in a rolling start, Corvette is the winner.

I can launch my GSF around 4.4. A guy on KZbin got 4.3.

[@abdullahbinshahid3199]

The track edition is rated as 3.9

[@ApothecaryTerry]

Considering the launch control seems to be starting at 1,500 RPM I'd say they're definitely not using that. I've not driven an RCF yet (waiting for one to become available after the lockdown) but if you just hold the brake and throttle and launch at more like 3,000 RPM it'd probably do better. I know my GS450h does best when it's launched from the soft limiter at about 3,200 RPM, it gets me to 60 in 5.2 using GPS timing like that, but of course Lexus say it's 5.9 because that's what you get with no battery (and likely to avoid it stepping on the toes of the F range). I still want the sound of the 2UR though...all these cars are fast enough, I want sound- it's why I won't touch an M4, sounds like a farting hamster.

[@MrHallTV]

Apothecary Terry I have one and it does not really like to be brake torqued. Using the brake and throttle at the same time seems to invoke a safety system. The edition in this video does not seem to mind however.

[@abdullahbinshahid3199]

[@Gavsta1401]

Launch control looks like it holds at 1,500rpm? Is that lower than most? I’d imagine peak torque is quite a bit up from that in the NA V8... Awesome sound though!

[@ApothecaryTerry]

It does look like it's bogging down off the line, 1,500 seems extremely low. I drive a GS450h which launches at over 3,000 and won't break traction even on a wet road, plus the transmission in that means the revs stay higher. Bit less powerful but it's still doing 0-60 in 5.2 so I have to assume this would be better off starting around 3,000 RPM.

And you should also use paddle shifters it's not the same as D mode. You have to not be afraid to push the car to the limit

[@orituhkguyjmnrmnht]

Talking about Lexus F, BMW M, Merc AMG etc faster than normal cars. If you've ever wondered why people buy BMWs the answer is right here in the comments. Most people are not buying a car. They are buying 0-100 times and other things they can tell their friends. What most people don't seem to understand (or don't care about) is those things don't matter unless you really are taking your car to the track on a regular basis which you probably aren't going to do. In everyday driving it doesn't matter whether your car has 500 or 600hp. Other things count and that is Lexus's strategy and as an everyday car Lexus is better than a BMW or an AMG. Funny thing is AMG used to be the car for people who wanted a comfortable car that is fast enough and reliable. But AMG saw BMW's strategy of more track oriented cars sell better than their own strategy. This is why they made a decision to start competing with BMW in their traditional market. Lexus basically took over the market AMG left empty. Nowadays if you want a BMW M car you buy a BMW M car or an AMG. If you want an RS Audi you buy an RS Audi. But if you want an AMG today you buy a Lexus.
