Does IS500 bounce off rev limiter like the RCF

The IS500 does not auto upshift from 1 to 2 in M. At least mine doesn’t

Have you really tried not shifting it at all in first at WOT? I did it couple times in manual mode and it always auto shifted to second gear after hitting the rev limiter.
That's has been discussed in another thread where we didn't like it because if you also shift it, you end up in third gear

Edit: exaggerating on the speed. I think it’s more like 65-70mph. In any case IMO it’s a speed that is too fast on public streets to appreciate the sound of the rev limiter, because a highway is too noisy.

Unpopular opinion, I’m not a fan of bouncing off the rev limiter. It means a loss of power and momentum; so if I’m revving it full out, there’s most likely a race happening. 😈

100% agree. Every time I’ve bounced off it’s been due to manually shifting a bit too late. When the transmission is good & warm can click the paddle around 7000rpm and get a proper redline shift from 1st to 2nd, but when it’s still somewhat cool seems like you have to initiate the same shift at ~6600 rpm to get it to shift right at 7300rpn.

I like that the car will spin the tires on the 1-2 shift when you get it just right at 7200-7300 rpm

I have never had my car auto upshift from 1-2 but I've never been late on that shift. If it isn't 100% safe to watch the RPM I will short shift 1-2 instead. I have hit the Rev limiter in other gears, but never lit it sit there for a full second though. It's usually just a hair late so it might bounce 2-3 before the shift goes through. It will shift pretty damn hard from 2-3 as well when you're at max RPM.
