The Lexus is a quality car. We have a 4Runner and a Rav4 and love them. However, as an old Mustang lover I would go with the 6-speed Mustang. If I wanted to go faster could just throw a small100hp Nitrous system on it. Even adding a turbo would still be way less than the Lexus. BTW had a 86 5.0 5-speed for 14 years and 160,000 miles. With a 100hp Nos system and basic mods it went low 13's easily on street tires.

The coyote / 6 speed auto in the ford has proven very reliable. If you throw boost at both motors the coyote will also make more power and live longer doing it.

The 8 speed is barely changed from the 2007 AA80E which was the worlds first 8 speed in the LS and GS 460s in Japan. Same with the chassis, it's basically a 3GS/LS/ Toyota Mark-X chassis. Funnily enough, the GS460 stock (can be flashed to gain almost a second as they are restricted in power deliberately) is almost as fast as an IS500 and ISF. It has less power but less weight than the IS500.

@@SouthsideKidd550I mean I own and daily an IS200t. I wouldn’t call the interior objectively dated but more so “comparatively”. All of the other competitors have nicer interiors. Plus, the IS line has had the exact same interior for all of their cars since **2016** So yeah not literally dated but when you take into account they haven’t changed the interior in 8 years it kinda gives that feeling. It DEFINITELY does not give you a “new car” feeling if you’ve owned one like me. And I’m in love with the IS500 so I’m not hating. Just explaining that people saying it’s old is very valid If you’ve driven in Lexus IS that’s 2016+ you’ve driven all of them in terms of interior lol. That’s why I can imagine so much how it would feel to drive one because it literally would be identical to my car now just way louder and more enjoyable 🤣 (again, remeber I daily one so I know what I’m talking about lol)

I'm not a 100% sure if the is500 transmission is the same as the iSF but if it is you have to manually shift it for faster and crispier shifts since the torque converter locks after 2nd only on manual shift mode.

[@IMRgarage]

Even tunned the 8 speed shifts faster in M mode you are right :) love my ISF

The torque converter also locks in auto if you go full throttle. But you're right about it being faster in manual because you can shift at redline in manual.

You guys should try and make another match of this mustang with a 2011-14 ISF! It'd faster and lighter than the is500 and also around the dame age as the 5.0 mustang. Still more expensive since they're rare but since it is a true F car they have more aggressive tuning to the engine and transmission which helps a tad. I say 2011+ because it'll have the LSD diff.

@@yousef.al-assaf how you gonna tell me my cousin gots that same mustang i put a bus gap on him from a dig foh

[@ryanturnerboles]

@@yousef.al-assaflmao the 10 speed obliterates the IS500 😂 Its weird how your on here talking about how the IS500 is so fast, yet every video shows it getting it’s doors blown off by everything in its class. Also the Mustang out handles the IS as well, and beats the RCF Track edition turd. And that’s before we bring out the Camaro which beats them both.

They should’ve used the same year mustang

[@muktark9]

Love the IS500 but atleast try that with the 18+ 10spd stang? Maybe?

[@duggydo]

2:01 it's become a habit for Tommy to mock the viewers. It's getting old buddy.

[@jacquesc3166]

Gen Z, he "cares" about the comments (a lot) more than his old man. Wish they'd bring out Nathan to do a Rich-like arm drop from the old Pinks days on SpeedChannel... I'm 38, my early car days were built on Pinks and Spike's Sunday mornings i.e. the power pack.

[@markcoopers1930]

*THAT* was too insulting? Buddy I have some bad news about the real world. Especially since that sentiment is untrue only because it didn't go far enough. Neanderthals in the comments.

[@blickymo0212]

Love the front end of the is500 but don’t care too much for the backend

[@Coyote9smilespergallon]

Although that IS does sound Nice look nice! My neighbor has a 2door coupe Lexus

[@kenwolf2431]

2023 Lexus top performance vehicle can hardly beat a 10 year old Mustang. Just think what a New Mustang GT with performanc pack and automatic would do to the Lexus, it would be bus lenghts. A dark horse Mustang with automatic would even tear another you know what in the Lexus.

[@RedEemblem]

Lexus is a heavier car and a true 4 adult hauler, mustang is a 2adult+2small children car

[@Investor_philips]

4 doors bro it's literally a sedan while the mustang gt is more of a coupe 2 passanger, if you remove the back seats from the Lexus it will probably be as fast as the new gt

[@memememine1]

​@@Investor_philips but replace "New Mustang GT" with 340i and the comment is exactly the same. The Lexus is straight up a slow car by modern standards.

[@yousef.al-assaf]

​@@memememine1 The IS500 beats the M340i from a roll easily... Actually it beats all B58s from a roll minus the MK5 Supra.

[@Investor_philips]

@@memememine1 is not slow by modern standards bruh, an m340i does 60 in 3.9 sec, is500 does that around 4.6 seconds, which is still faster most cars on the street the m340i will beat the is500 from a dig, but not a roll meanwhile the top speed of an m340i is around 157mph an is500 tops at 165mph, the is500 will begin to catch up when it hits 120mph

[@kenhiett5266]

I don't know how you fall asleep on your own "go". lol

[@freedomisntfree_44]

Think what a new stang would do. Would love the Lexus too though, I know it’s smooth

New S650 platform is trash. S550 or late S197 for life.

Why no roll race in second gear?

What year is the mustang?

This two cars..very good..❤

Was that a roll? Race?

Is the IS500 the new ISF?

[@Theonetrinity]

Imagine what would have happened if they ran it against a Gen 3 coyote 10speed.

[@SaVarMatner]

That's what I'm saying. Even a manual Gen 3 would have been good too. I think the Gen 2 would be interesting as well.

[@kross1261]

I was surprised Toyota didn’t put the 5.0 in the Tundra

[@tinhinnh]

not enough tq for a top engine. the tt v6 has about 60 more

[@RandenMontalvo]

Why not the RCF in this one since its Lexus coupe in the same GT segment?....the IS500 is a completely different category a 4 door Sedan and we all know the end result here. Never really understood setups like this or comparisons. Fun indeed i presume just kinda odd.

[@adriancross1988]

Try that with a 2018-2023 Mustang GT 10-Speed..bet you won't.

[@demarcusclifford627]

I can use the little bit of the exhaust 😅

[@jeremyleeflores4353]

I got a magnaflow exhaust that sounds very much like god laughing 😂😂😂😂😂 best line ever

[@michaelcrockette8694]

horsepower/weight ratio. IS is more comfort oriented than Mustang. I’ll take either one, thank you.😀

What? The 2014 has a solid rear axle?

I'm going for the 2014 Stang
