@LongTran-vx3vo Lexus says "The IS 500 F SPORT Performance boasts a full 472 horsepower* at 7,100 rpm and 395 lb-ft of peak torque* at 4,800 rpm.". Redline is 7,300. So I'm not sure what 7,200 could be referring to.
Comment about the Lexus going 200k without issue might be true, but the Mustang will do it too. My own 2014 GT is at 160k now and is doing great. I guess that can't be said about all, depends on how much the owner beats on it and/or neglects maintenance.
@pnwmv I didn't mention anything about Lexus/Toyota products not being able to go high miles, just pointing out that even a Coyote motor can as well. Toyota has always made cars that last, cause they actually care I guess. We will see if the most modern stuff hold true to that.

With a 100hp Nos system and basic mods it went low 13's easily on street tires.
Easily. I've had 93 cars in my life and about a quarter of them have been Ford's. And two-thirds of those have been a V8. Another than typical wear things like a battery or tires, they were near bulletproof reliable. If you take care of a car it'll look after you and Ford is no exception.

Come on guys. Give me a break. Comparing a Lexus with a Ford. Common sense would tell you that the Lexus is superior in built quality and reliability over a rattle bucket Ford Mustang. Disgraceful.
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.
You need to be at 0 elevation. Also over pump your front tires. If your engine is all clean and tuned up on a prepped surface you can easily crack into 13s and trap 100
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.
If possible it would be interesting to dyno the cars prior to racing to get the true numbers. I also understand this is more of an everyman competition. Love the content.
Obviously a comparison for shits and giggles. Except for a similar type V8, these are 2 different cars in separate classes. Lexus is pure quality and will last forever if maintained properly. Two great engines.
Lexus is on another level compared to any car in quality, reliability and being nearly as fast as the competition. Similar performance, but with Rolls Royce luxury and 90s manual Toyota Camry/Corolla reliability. It's a combo you can't find and IMO the end game for Luxury cars when you actually want to use them.
@@chrism869 people love to trash talk ford but they are pretty reliable i have had my explorer st for five years now and it never had any issue, same thing with my 2018 mustang gt, you can see that the mustang in the video is 10 years old its still perfoming better than most of the cars made today. people must be buying old and abused cars or something as for me i always buy my cars brand new
Well since Lexus doesnt put any technology or innovation in their cars, its easy to be reliable All they have are hard plastics, leather seats and 15 year old tech If Mercedes or BMW did this they would be reliable as well

Remember kids, unless daddy has very deep pockets you'll be budget-constrained as car guys... my parents are renters in their late 60's, retired working class; I'm 38 with 21+ yrs in the RCAF, making 130+ a year and my daily driver is 10 yrs old / 192,000+ km in Canada's rust belt. I have an HR in my Z33 weekend car and a VHR in my daily (AWD) G sedan --- both can be had, combined, for the price of that RWD 2014 Mustang GT. Do not neglect your daily, and you'll get to budget for a weekend car someday. Needs over Wants until you're really comfortable; something that isn't lost on my 6 yr old daughter.
Wow. My 2009 6-speed Challenger with a 3:92 rear gear ran the 1/4 in 13.4@106. It’s only rated @ 376 hp. I ran it a few times at Z-Max. It’s modded now but nothing outrageous. Just air hammer intake and muffler delete. Diablo predator 93 octane tune. I wonder what it would run now. I also have 206,000 miles too😮.
Have to remember they are running at a very high altitude which dramatically slows the cars down up there. Down here at Zmax they'd both be right at high 12's.
OMG, the lexus is so beautiful. Also, it will go much farther than 200k, my best friends 08 IS-F is over 300k and hasn't put 1 cent in repairs, just maintenance. I do love the new mustangs for price for performance, but man, they are not built well. I rented one in Hawaii, and literally was excited because when I got in the gears shifter was so loose I thought it was a stick at first, only to see no clutch pedal. Also, lol, the convertible top would not close over the back windows without human help, just poor design and execution. Fun factor was off the charts though.
I don’t think that 2014 Mustang would get beaten by Lexus is terms of longevity. These Mustangs if given care as in above case point already spend 10 years. Yes the interior wise the choice of items that makes & keep mustang cheaper is no brainer… Mustang can be Everyman’s sports car and Lexus can be Everyman’s desirable car.

None of the previous commenters read and understood what you commented lol. I agree with you btw, but I guess it’s because the 5.0 doesn’t have much torque for the weight of the LS500.
Those are decent times, but I would suggest that you might subtract 1.5 seconds off those times, both of those cars are low 13/high 12 second cars in optimal conditions. Fun race.
To me the Lexus is cooler because to anyone who doesn’t know what to look for, it’s just a regular IS 300/350. But then you can keep up or best a Mustang GT. There’s something amazing about sleepers. It’s why I also love the GR Corolla. Looks pretty much like a 2.0L hatchback but is actually 300hp+ AWD hot hatch. Toyota really makes great cars.
That’s why I love my GSF. Most don’t know what they’re looking at or they assume it’s just another v6 Lexus until they hear my exhaust when I take off!😂
@@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.

@damilolaakanni not to say Ford cars are unreliable, they are built very well, but lexus is way better in terms of their reliability . But no offense Ford make pretty reliable cars too
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.
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
@@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.
@@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
Here’s my story, my ex in law bought a 2020 mustang GT, and while taking my son to school we actually lifted the front left tire. I’m not a ford fan but the mustang is amazing. However, I recently obtained a Lexus IS500, and the Lexus is just amazing, and felt mustang power, but it’s power never fades to 150
It's not a fair comparison, on the one hand the Lexus is not a sports car like the Mustang and on the other hand the Mustang is too old to compete with a new car, but despite this it did a good job, the video only achieved sympathy for the Lexus and pats on the back for the Mustang.
If I could choose a car, to be given to me for free, between the IS500 and a new performance pack GT, I'd choose the IS500. The 2014 mustang has cheaper parts and mediocre build quality to save cost, but they are easy to work on, seemingly more reliable than the newer mustangs, and the powertrains are very robust. Lexus is THE luxury manufacturer for long-term reliability and build quality, so it's a great buy too, despite the cost.
10 year old Mustang. Doesn't say much about the Lexus really. If they are putting a 5.0 liter engine in a 2023 Camry, the thing had better be smoking fast. Not sure what this comparison proves other than the Lexus should be far quicker. Mustang easier and cheaper to fix, or mod. Mind you who can beat 4-doors?
Lexus makes my favorite car out now the LC500 wide body in black with the chrome rims 🤤 that’s a sexy car. It’s a 5.0 to. Interior looks like a space shuttle buttons every where. I imagine it would eat the mustang but it’s little more expensive being a $110k so not a far comparison. I actually wouldn’t care if it was slower it’s the looks and sound I like.
The differences in the transmission alone would close the gap. Modern Mustangs have 10 speeds as well as independent rear ends post ‘18. They’d still be “cheap” too.
If you just gave me that Ford I wouldn't drive it. I would sell it and put a hefty payment on another Cadillac.😂. I'm a GM guy. My V eats and shits Mustangs 🤣. I'd take that Lexus all day way before the Mustang.
Not really a fan of countdown by one of the competitors but it is what it is. The Mustang holds its own against the Lexus. That surface is junk. I guess at sea level and a better surface both cars would be able to knock off bottom 14 second et’s. These times were able to be achieved with less horsepower in the late 60’s early 70’s. Is the Lexus a new car?

If possible it would be interesting to dyno the cars prior to racing to get the true numbers. I also understand this is more of an everyman competition. Love the content.
I'll take any car over any Ford vehicle....💯💯
"I don't have a sport mode, just D and S" lol
24K for a 9 year old Mustang. LMAO
Obviously a comparison for shits and giggles. Except for a similar type V8, these are 2 different cars in separate classes. Lexus is pure quality and will last forever if maintained properly. Two great engines.
The Lexus will last twice as long and will retain way more resell value. Lexus is also built much better and much higher quality.
The back and forth banter is gold!😂😂😂
Both engines Yamaha technology;)
Lexus is on another level compared to any car in quality, reliability and being nearly as fast as the competition. Similar performance, but with Rolls Royce luxury and 90s manual Toyota Camry/Corolla reliability. It's a combo you can't find and IMO the end game for Luxury cars when you actually want to use them.
Yeah, if I plan to keep my car for many years , the is500 is the one for me
Ford is so poor in quality...I am amazed they are still in business. All the brand really has is a truck.
@@mikefoehr235 i mean most pepole are buying trucks and suvs so it kinda makes sense in a way
@@chrism869 people love to trash talk ford but they are pretty reliable i have had my explorer st for five years now and it never had any issue, same thing with my 2018 mustang gt, you can see that the mustang in the video is 10 years old its still perfoming better than most of the cars made today. people must be buying old and abused cars or something as for me i always buy my cars brand new
Well since Lexus doesnt put any technology or innovation in their cars, its easy to be reliable
All they have are hard plastics, leather seats and 15 year old tech
If Mercedes or BMW did this they would be reliable as well
With all due respect, that IS shatters the mustang in many aspects
one thing tommy didn't do is use manual mode in sport + it makes a difference and don't know if he went the extra inch on the gas pedal lol, those bridgstone are crappy tire
A 2022 A10 Mustang will gap the Lexus
Remember kids, unless daddy has very deep pockets you'll be budget-constrained as car guys... my parents are renters in their late 60's, retired working class; I'm 38 with 21+ yrs in the RCAF, making 130+ a year and my daily driver is 10 yrs old / 192,000+ km in Canada's rust belt. I have an HR in my Z33 weekend car and a VHR in my daily (AWD) G sedan --- both can be had, combined, for the price of that RWD 2014 Mustang GT. Do not neglect your daily, and you'll get to budget for a weekend car someday. Needs over Wants until you're really comfortable; something that isn't lost on my 6 yr old daughter.
Tommy’s hair looks like he’s a three stooge😮
great video. loved seeing the comparison between the two. Keep up the great work
Funny that wasn’t on sport +mode on the is500..
Those coyote engines are reliable and fast 🤘🏼.
Imagine what would have happened if they ran it against a Gen 3 coyote 10speed.
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.
Wow. My 2009 6-speed Challenger with a 3:92 rear gear ran the 1/4 in 13.4@106. It’s only rated @ 376 hp. I ran it a few times at Z-Max. It’s modded now but nothing outrageous. Just air hammer intake and muffler delete. Diablo predator 93 octane tune. I wonder what it would run now. I also have 206,000 miles too😮.
Have to remember they are running at a very high altitude which dramatically slows the cars down up there. Down here at Zmax they'd both be right at high 12's.
@@NCSTANGGUY that would explain it. I did not know they were high altitude.
I like V8s but I just rather have the IS350. Not saying its a better car. Its just the "goldielocks" of compact luxury cars.
Have to use the paddles to actually rev out to redline in the IS.
That's gey..lol
OMG, the lexus is so beautiful. Also, it will go much farther than 200k, my best friends 08 IS-F is over 300k and hasn't put 1 cent in repairs, just maintenance. I do love the new mustangs for price for performance, but man, they are not built well. I rented one in Hawaii, and literally was excited because when I got in the gears shifter was so loose I thought it was a stick at first, only to see no clutch pedal. Also, lol, the convertible top would not close over the back windows without human help, just poor design and execution. Fun factor was off the charts though.
Love those rear window shutters on that Mustang
Louvers !
@@Getusom You're right, but that's what us 45 and up guys, calls them 😆
Next race 2006 GTO vs 2014 Mustang GT please.
I don’t think that 2014 Mustang would get beaten by Lexus is terms of longevity. These Mustangs if given care as in above case point already spend 10 years. Yes the interior wise the choice of items that makes & keep mustang cheaper is no brainer… Mustang can be Everyman’s sports car and Lexus can be Everyman’s desirable car.
Mustang may be lighter but the driver ain't 😂
The one thing you can always count on from a Mustang is noise, there really good at that.
But what if it doesn't start? 😉
The Mustang is know for excellent UA-cam crash videos 😁
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar Hah! But that is part of owning a Mustang. Wondering what is going to go wrong today...or stuffing that loose trim back into place...or drowning out all the rattles by turning up the music!!!
@@mikedaleiden7725 Sounds familiar even though I don't have a Mustang. 😅
@@V8AmericanMuscleCaryou know, 🫵 you have American 🇺🇸 in your name but make fun of one of the most iconic sports cars in history really stands how goofy you are..
You can’t beat an American V8
It is such a shame that the LS 500 does not have that really Suite 5 L V8 instead of twin turbo V6.
It has the NA 5.0L V8. That's why they are comparing the two.
The LS 500 has a turbo 6...the IS 500 has the NA 8.
None of the previous commenters read and understood what you commented lol. I agree with you btw, but I guess it’s because the 5.0 doesn’t have much torque for the weight of the LS500.
Exactly For Sure 👌
My mistake. Lol
The mustang is beautiful
Is500 all day...every kid with a daddy with a few bucks has a shitstang with pipes.
The fact that the Lexus is a true four seater is why it’s the better car. Plus it’s not a Ford so it will last forever.
After dealing with the recall bs in the first few years, Fords tend to be extremely reliable long term.
I have an 06 GT and it’s perfectly fine, no issues.
They should’ve used the same year mustang
Is500 looks good particularly red colour
Use a 20 GT. Game over
"sounds like God laughing" Haha great quote
They're so similar in a straight line there's really no difference.
They should take them on the track and compare handling
Those are decent times, but I would suggest that you might subtract 1.5 seconds off those times, both of those cars are low 13/high 12 second cars in optimal conditions. Fun race.
1 mile elevation. The times are the times.
I don't know how you fall asleep on your own "go". lol
Lexus wins for having 4 doors. If a car has rear seats, it should have rear doors.
I agree with Tommy.
My motto with cars is 4 door or no door.
Kyle said it best, 4 doors, more hors-es... LOL
No way the IS 500 run 14's
High 12's should be doable
Mustang gang 💯💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
To me the Lexus is cooler because to anyone who doesn’t know what to look for, it’s just a regular IS 300/350. But then you can keep up or best a Mustang GT. There’s something amazing about sleepers. It’s why I also love the GR Corolla. Looks pretty much like a 2.0L hatchback but is actually 300hp+ AWD hot hatch. Toyota really makes great cars.
That’s why I love my GSF. Most don’t know what they’re looking at or they assume it’s just another v6 Lexus until they hear my exhaust when I take off!😂
3rd gen coyote 10sp would gap the Lexus effortlessly
That won't happen. The IS500 has top-end advantage
@@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
@@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.
@@meanmugginjhe’s a Lexus troll that’s mad Lexus can’t make a viable sports car that’s competitive.
@@ryanturnerboles 😂🤣😂🤣🤦🏾♂️
Love the front end of the is500 but don’t care too much for the backend
2:01 it's become a habit for Tommy to mock the viewers. It's getting old buddy.
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.
*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.
Meanwhile my old srt4 intake exhaust untuned did 13.2 my ion redline sc did 13.6 😂😂wtf omg interesting though 🤙🤙
14 IS vs a 14 GT and 23 IS vs 23ish GT probably would have a better comparison, good video all the same.
2014 ISF has less power but is lighter. The ISF and the IS500 both runs 12.7 so the out come would be the same.
This is the perfect mustang in looks and great performance, my dream car
Coyote mustang might be best bang for buck car ever made.
But will it last as long as the is500,simple answer is no
@chrism869 I don't know, Ford usually makes very reliable petrol V8s...except the 5.4 Triton 3V.
@damilolaakanni not to say Ford cars are unreliable, they are built very well, but lexus is way better in terms of their reliability . But no offense Ford make pretty reliable cars too
@@chrism869 Coyote Mustang is the most reliable car Ford ever made. I would not bet anything against it. Can't say it about other fords of course.
Lexus is not a race car.
Neither is a Mustang.
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.
Lexus is a heavier car and a true 4 adult hauler, mustang is a 2adult+2small children car
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
@@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.
@@memememine1
The IS500 beats the M340i from a roll easily...
Actually it beats all B58s from a roll minus the MK5 Supra.
@@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
Here’s my story, my ex in law bought a 2020 mustang GT, and while taking my son to school we actually lifted the front left tire. I’m not a ford fan but the mustang is amazing. However, I recently obtained a Lexus IS500, and the Lexus is just amazing, and felt mustang power, but it’s power never fades to 150
It's not a fair comparison, on the one hand the Lexus is not a sports car like the Mustang and on the other hand the Mustang is too old to compete with a new car, but despite this it did a good job, the video only achieved sympathy for the Lexus and pats on the back for the Mustang.
Boy Toyota really pull the wool over American eyes
Not only America
Almost all their customers everywhere
Toyota=Copied+Overrated+Overpriced garbage
If I could choose a car, to be given to me for free, between the IS500 and a new performance pack GT, I'd choose the IS500. The 2014 mustang has cheaper parts and mediocre build quality to save cost, but they are easy to work on, seemingly more reliable than the newer mustangs, and the powertrains are very robust. Lexus is THE luxury manufacturer for long-term reliability and build quality, so it's a great buy too, despite the cost.
10 year old Mustang. Doesn't say much about the Lexus really. If they are putting a 5.0 liter engine in a 2023 Camry, the thing had better be smoking fast. Not sure what this comparison proves other than the Lexus should be far quicker. Mustang easier and cheaper to fix, or mod. Mind you who can beat 4-doors?
Yeah, that’s a HUGE “L” for the IS500 .. 2023 at 60k barely outperforming a 2014 Mustang GT non PP .. that’s actually hella embarrassing
Peak torque @ 7k rpm? Repeated over & over. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Peak HORSEPOWER @ 7100rpm. That kind of rookie mistake makes me yawn & move on.
Lexus makes my favorite car out now the LC500 wide body in black with the chrome rims 🤤 that’s a sexy car. It’s a 5.0 to. Interior looks like a space shuttle buttons every where. I imagine it would eat the mustang but it’s little more expensive being a $110k so not a far comparison. I actually wouldn’t care if it was slower it’s the looks and sound I like.
The differences in the transmission alone would close the gap. Modern Mustangs have 10 speeds as well as independent rear ends post ‘18. They’d still be “cheap” too.
If you just gave me that Ford I wouldn't drive it. I would sell it and put a hefty payment on another Cadillac.😂. I'm a GM guy. My V eats and shits Mustangs 🤣. I'd take that Lexus all day way before the Mustang.
Not really a fan of countdown by one of the competitors but it is what it is. The Mustang holds its own against the Lexus. That surface is junk. I guess at sea level and a better surface both cars would be able to knock off bottom 14 second et’s. These times were able to be achieved with less horsepower in the late 60’s early 70’s. Is the Lexus a new car?
