    .............................................................
    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.

      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.

      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.

      Maybe so, but that mustang has an mt82 transmission and it’s the worst transmission you can get in a mustang. The 10 speed auto would have wrecked the LC500. Not sure if these mustangs are slower in Europe, but even the 10 speed mustang on car wow hasn’t been putting out the best numbers. They will do the quarter mile in high 11’s and trap 118-121.

      Thinking the same. Those shifts where horrible, I shift my Clio casually on my way to work quicker than that, bloody hell.
      Manuals require a learning curve that takes weeks or months to get in perfect tune with the car, in order to shift quick and smooth on demand. And every manual is different from one another.

    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
      @paramsehgal5024 Před 3 lety +13

      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.

      @@dallasmellsop5488 yes, that’s a very valid point and on a really good road, wringing its neck is fun (although be warned, they are very highly geared!). It’s in these conditions that the Lexus 5.0 V8s fail.
      In, a GT car, for me, I want it to dish out effortless A to B ability. Lexus are obsessed with the these cars getting into the highest possible gear as soon as possible, so making mediocre effortless progress is hampered.
