Ford Mustang v Lexus LC500 - V8 DRAG RACE

Need help buying your next car? Click www.carwow.co.uk/help-me-carwow and my team and I will help you choose your ideal car at a fair price - from Mat Watson!
.............................................................
It's time for a V8 SHOWDOWN!
It's Mat vs Yianni going head-to-head in two cars that have oh-so similar specs. Mat's in the Bullitt Mustang, which is packing a 5-litre V8 under the bonnet which will produce 460hp & 530Nm. As for the LC500? Well, it's also powered by a 5-litre V8, which can produce (you guessed it...) 460hp & 530Nm!
However, there are a couple of differences. Although the Mustang only has a 6-speed manual gearbox (compared to the LC500's 10-speed automatic), it weighs about 100kg less than the Lexus! But will that be enough to power it through to snatch the win?
There's only one way to find out... LET'S RACE!

He probably should be changing gears like that with that glass transmission. The MT82 in the Mustangs, aside from the GT350 and Mach 1 that have the Tremec TR6060, are known to be glass and hate fast shifting.

Matt is shifting more like a granny. You could see every time he shifted the Lex gained on him. Someone needs to teach him how to powershift that six speed.

[@whatiwant8898]

Love when people say that because it shows a lot of % of people don’t know why that use to happen but don’t anymore (as often) mustangs use to have live axle which wasn’t the best for those situations. Most car companies didn’t make powerful solid axle rearwheel drive cars. But now for a long time ford has been using irs. With that comes better handling and control. Now it’s just driver error and the fact that there are more 8 sec 1/4 mile 900-1100whp mustangs out there than any other car in the world. You stick a idiot behind the wheel of the old or new ones it’s on the idiot not the car.

[@tahasaeed7932]

It even happened the second time

[@SoloD33A]

Yanni just brake and floored it for the launch, but he should've just gave it about 1/2 throttle just to bring the rpm up to torque converter stall speed until actual start. Since he floored it before the actual launch, the power of engine overcame the rear brakes, thus the spin before the launch, which the traction control kicks in also. Knowing lexus, it kicks in and cut engine power for 1 to 2 seconds.

[@angelgjr1999]

To be fair, the 10 speed is a faster option for the mustang. 4.10 gears would’ve helped the 6 speed though.

[@eddieczigler2490]

I’ve had both the manual and 10 speed in the third gen mustang, you had it in drag mod but had traction control on. Turn it off and don’t use the launch control. Takes a bit to get it right, the ten speed is the same , turn off traction control. Plus, that was a bullet and has an extra 20 hp that a regular GT

[@sunshine101spooger]

The problem with the brake tests is that the cars have different tyres. You'd get differences in stopping distances with the same car but different tyres

[@kenchen704]

Dude Yianni’s Lexus crawled off the line lol, you need a rematch on that

[@Scala598]

This just shows you how much of an impact gear ratios has on a car's acceleration. The mustang has stupidly long gearing

[@2mjz84]

“For mpg reasons”

[@Jr_5646]

@@2mjz84 I agree its for MPG reasons to avoid the gas guzzler tax, but it could still be geared like the manual camaro where the first 5 gears are fairly close for acceleration and 6 is really long for cruising.

[@davidkelley751]

Gas’s guzzler tax

[@dragospahontu]

@@davidkelley751 definitely. On the Volkswagen Polo 1.0l you can do 110kph in 2nd gear😅

[@davidkelley751]

The ideal thing would be like the corvettes C7 manual. First 6 gears are not that long , but 7th is a massive overdrive. Like the Gt350 trans would be great for the regular mustang gt.

[@jpsIV]

as an lc500 owner you needed to put it in sport + and turn off traction control so it wont blog down.

[@umiringains]

Does the European spec mustang have longer gears than the US version? 3rd gear going all the way up to 110+mph ?? My mustang GT with 3.73s, hits 90ish mph in 3rd gear, and about 115mph in 4th gear. Seems to me that the euro version has longer gears which is worse for acceleration but better for mpg

[@scottieray]

2018 and up Mustang GTs do have longer gearing than the 2015-2017 GTs. It's as fast as the 2015-2017 and if you drive curvy roads 3rd gear is all you need

The second launch on the Lexus was terrible 😂 Lexus would’ve probably won that race too

[@Henry_Jr_Watsson]

@@ventmg Because the Lexus has no launch-mode. So you need to launch it like the Mustang with ~1/4-1/2 gas. Otherwise the wheels lock up because it the torque overpowered the rear-brakes which caused traction-control to kick in and caused the Lexus to cut power. In the rolling race it was visible that both cars are basically equal outside their transmission & launch.

[@ariz.k9901]

Lexus would have easily won the drag race, the launch was messed up for 2nd race

Damn, the difference between the 10 speed mustang and manual is massive. It would be really interesting to see the 10 speed mustang vs the Lexus. You can see the mustang pull on the Lexus until Matt needs to shift, then he starts falling behind.

[@paramsehgal5024]

Yes the problem is that even if the shifter in mustang is a short throw one, you still need some skills to shift it faster. Moreover the Bullitt only comes in manual.
