I told that dude to Eff’n put the car in Manual & Sport+ and the race results would be different, but noooo D-Head wanted too keep it in auto.

He finally does what I said and he’s amazed?!

I want to Moe, Larry, and Curly this dude so bad… Two fingers + Eyeballs = Happy Tony.
It's amazing how someone can buy a $67k sport sedan and not want to try out using the paddles or the drive modes lol.

That Mustang did sound amazing. I actually was surprised how much of a difference there was between launching the cars and the roll races. The IS 500 is quick off the line or if it's in the right gear!

Good video, But I think he needs to use paddle shifters and manage it from the dig IMO.

Yeah, needs to use paddles for sure. But with ~100 more hp the Lexus should catch up and walk away A LOT faster than it does.

Then again, Lexus has always had a low mph in these cars in the 1/4 mile given their power. They seem to have more drivetrain loss, they also dyno lower too.

I still don't understand all the people who use drag racing daily drive able cars as some kind of metric for if a car is good or not. I knew 100% going into buying this car that it was slower than almost all it's competitors. It's hypocritical of anyone not driving a model 3 performance to talk crap because a car isn't faster in a straight line drag race. Because dollar to dollar the Tesla is the fastest out of all the cars in this segment. But I like the way this car drives and how comfortable I am in the interior. The stinger didn't feel all that great when I checked it out. Even the G20 interior didn't feel as good as my F30 did, which is why I really didn't end up getting one. All this new tech, but a more hollow feel to all the plastic parts.

It's just a race, nobody is saying the car isn't good. At least I'm not saying that. I wouldn't have bought one if I thought so.
