This was honestly a good ass race. This outcome honestly was what I expected between the two tbh. The transmission in auto definitely is inconsistent in roll races I can 100% confirm that. Sometimes it goes all the way to 7k rpm in sport plus and others it'll short shift at like 4.5k-5k rpm. But damn I still love it though.

The Charger has always struggled to put its power down from a dead stop. Even the SRT Hellcat loses to significantly less powerful cars in a one on one race from 0mph. Once the wheels catch though, look out.
Now that I've been in a hellcat and am a year late to this, I completely agree. Once that thing figures itself out it is scary fast. I do own an IS500 and it has nothing on an SRT once it starts pulling. Lexus reliability tho....
@@pyramo3170 since the dodge charger challenger are also ancient they’d have proven to also be reliable over time. And the zf 8 speed it uses has been proven reliable
I owned a hellcat for a year, the power was fantastic....but honestly the supercharger was annoying to listen too after about 6 months. It was fun. Maybe I'm just getting old, I'd take the Lexus and listen to that glorious V8, until I wanted to rock out with that superb Mark Levinson sound system 👌
The power to weight is similar. In fact, if you factor in both HP and torque figures. You come up with exactly the same ratios for both. The IS just weighs a bit less so it hops off the line better. Lightweight's advantage.
I've got a IS500 & live in the Motor City (Detroit) & Scat Pack's are literally everywhere. I've raced several Scat Packs from a dig with my IS500. But not with the shitty Potenzas. I swapped them for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s (Summer) Tires. The look on their faces when they lose lol The IS500 is unsuspecting for sure.
Weird because you have your ugly ass car racing zero scats on your channel? Weight advantage your way plus you need a tune just to stay relevant. Not sure why any scat owner wound be surprised of the outcome regardless lol. Stop the cap 🧢
As a scat pack owner and a admirer of the IS500 as my possible next purchase, with them being so equal in performance you then have to look at the amenities to decide between these two cars. The Lexus is better quality and reliability with more tech features. The Lexus 5.0 also gets better fuel milage, but that V8 needs some exhaust tone help lol. Both great sedans but leaning towards the Lexus next time around.
It's entirely acceptable for the Lexus NA V6s to get shredded at stop lights. They have always been more about reliability and luxury, with a relatively strong engine...but they are not fast. The F's and the IS500, that narrative won't fly. These are meant to be performance machines, not just a bit quicker than the Non-F's, like actually competitive performance machines. Thing is, the Fs and Is500 still lag in straight line performance, relatively speaking.

So it's nice to see some wins here and there! 🏆🏁 I'm actually surprised at how well the Lexus puts power down.

Pretty much everything you ended wit, I fw GS F tough but always said if Lexus made it wit 40-50 more foot lb of torque it would beat Scats, SS, Stang Gts easily, even tho it does beat scats and stangs
Thanks for sharing Sam this was dead accurate , I had a Infinity tuned Q40 AWD a 2015 I think it was and I raced a IS F 5.0L a couple times and we were dead even all though I’d get him on the launch , that said I ran my q40 against 392s and they were also dead on even on rolls …

Weight advantage on the IS but big torque advantage usually makes the win... Looks like the IS might catch up if runway was longer. .. Torque make a huge difference
The Lexus is impressive being down 1.4l in displacement and down 80 ft lbs of torque compared to the charger. I'd like to see what Lexus could do with a large 6L+ displacement V8.
Love both cars, I am impressed to see a lexus keep up with a performance minded sedan. Typically, lexus have always has a quick car but not quite as quick as others. I love my Lexus SC400 and would love to have one of these too.
Lol y’all put too much on weight. That big displacement hemi can handle weight. Stop closing on weight. We add weight to SC cars just too hook up and still smoke folks that are less weight
Lexus screwed up by not making this a full F car. I have driven tons of RC-F/GS-F/LC500's, with the latter having the best exhaust note this side of heaven. The IS500 F Sport designation softens it up a bit, but it is still a very nice car. Go with aftermarket exhaust upgrades to give it a tad more growl. That 392 sounds awesome.
@Madison 3 No. Sam just didn't have his foot on the floor. If I've got my IS 500 floored, the lowest I've seen it shift is like 6800 or so. If I'm racing, I'm in manual mode anyway.
Noob question, which one would last longer for long term ownership? I know Lexus has a trademark for reliability but I also heard same thing with the scatpack.
The IS launches good thanks to its lack of torque…. The IS is pulling slightly harder on the top end. That first roll race the Charger driver kinda chested because the stayed behind and accelerated BEFORE the start cones so he was already carrying speed while the IS was just rolling on. The second roll race at a higher speed showed that the cars are very evenly matched, but it looks like the IS was creeping forward still. Overall, awesome cars, awesome race. I could own either of those cars. One tidbit, the IS and RC are much better in manual mode. I’m very very sad to hear that you’re selling the IS500. There’s TONS of potential in that car. Many people with RC’s are able to get 500hp out of the 2UR with very little effort. Sad to see her go Sam.
@@SamCarLegion better how? Because if you talk about being faster, that's not precisely better. You should also have to consider reliability, maintenance costs and depreciation value.

The IS is nice looking car. Dodge needs to find a way to make the charger look better. They haven’t changed it the body style and interior and it’s far overdue.
It's bizarre to think that when they came out with this body style many years ago that they thought it would age gracefully.... When it didn't even start out gracefully 😄. Even though the Challenger is a boat, it's not a bad looking car. The charger has always been awkward and overstyled/goofy and it should never have been named the charger. To put the stickers on and the flashy paint just emphasizes how outdated this car has become. Just an opinion. At least they have the power to move their lardy asses! But it's time to pasture- ize it!

lol the REV limit on the dodge in the beginning of the video lmao....sleeper status.
Both cars are so close. Even if the Lexus lost every time Id still take the Lexus :)
The IS is nice looking car. Dodge needs to find a way to make the charger look better. They haven’t changed it the body style and interior and it’s far overdue.
Dodge still look aggressive btw compared to most cars on road
It's bizarre to think that when they came out with this body style many years ago that they thought it would age gracefully.... When it didn't even start out gracefully 😄. Even though the Challenger is a boat, it's not a bad looking car. The charger has always been awkward and overstyled/goofy and it should never have been named the charger. To put the stickers on and the flashy paint just emphasizes how outdated this car has become. Just an opinion. At least they have the power to move their lardy asses! But it's time to pasture- ize it!
6.2v8 485 5.0v8 472 Toyota king.he has a 1200cc more sud be making more power Toyota still killing it
Scatpack costs $50K, Lexus $60K+ leaving you with some money left over for a tune and LTH and exhaust.
Then again, the Lexus does have a better interior because of luxury lol
Scatpacks are ugly tho
I’m getting a Lexus IS 500 F. Wana go for a ride?!
You just sold me on the Lexus. Power with style.
Low standards eh?
wtf?@@SamCarLegion

Never mind Sam, his taste is ass in cars.
Bro, them 392 Dodges get smoked all day with their dinosaur single overhead cam V8
charger jumped a bit an both rolls, you can tell that the is500 would have won because it starts catching the charger at the end
You found the excuses right away lol
Do Lexus GSF Vs charger
Rc f vs Scatpack would be 🔥
Ill tell you this both cars attract two different type of crowds all around the board.
One will last 5 years, the other will go 50 years. Different kind of timed race.
You gotta turn traction all the way off and slap it in manual mode. First gear always spins and cuts so much power
PLEASE , make sure the colors can be readable.
That Lexus V8 is a masterpiece.
For the money I'd take the Charger.
Would you all race a Chevy SS vs a scat pack charger
