Whenever Lexus makes an attempt at trying to have better performance than it's German counterparts, they fail. Whenever Lexus adds 50 horsepower, Mercedes-Benz and BMW add 150.

Hahaha, at least I know where you guys are coming from now. People do act strange when they are threatened, but man do you guys handle competition poorly! Didn't you ever play pee wee baseball or soccer as a kid? Or were you guys kicked off the team for kicking the winners in the nuts after they spanked you on the field? LOL, sore losers... you're all the same

Hell Lexus could easily throw in a built 14-bolt rear axle with a 15:1 gear ratio and annihilate the S600TT. Not saying that they will, in all likeliness they won't, but it is just as foolish to begin to say the S600 will definitely kill the LS500 when in fact the LS500 doesn't even exist
. BTW Accord, 550bhps is nothing to be proud of on a twin turbo 6.0 liter V12. The Japanese equivalent would be producing around 900bhps on conservative boost pressure.
Regardless of those factors you both neglected to consider either because you're forgetful or you don't know anything about drivetrains, my initial point is that you can not make any assumptions about a car that hasn't even been produced yet, let alone track and dyno tested.
To address the earlier post, the IS430 Compressor is still a concept that TTE is working out with Lexus, however, if and when it is produced, it is sure to kill the M3 and C32 with 400hps screw-blown V8 on that light chassis. Prelimenary track tests put it's 0-62mph at 4.5sec. Oh yeah and it gets a full performance suspension package including some nice fat Brembo brakes to compliment it's power.

Your ridiculous what if claims are absolutely absurd. Lexus will never put a 14 bolt rear axle with a 15:1 gear ratio in the LS500, so why are you even bringing it up?
We are not comparing race cars here, we are comparing performance luxury sedans. People who buy an LS, S-Class, etc. will most likely not be screwing around with gear ratios and whatnot. We are comparing STOCK vehicles here. It is a simple fact that a two ton factory vehicle with 550 horsepower will annihilate another two ton factory vehicle with only 360 horsepower. It's like comparing a 2003 S600 to a 2002, you just cannot compare them. Why is it so hard for you to grip this?
Lex400sc, you need to get real, and stop posting these ridiculous claims of yours. You're making Lexus look bad.
As for the IS430 pushing 400+ horsepower, guess what? It is only a concept car. You said "if it goes into production," and then you state that it has not.
Well to counter the your ridiculous IS430 claim, what would happen if AMG put the new 3.5L engine in the C32 AMG and SLK32 pushing 450+ horsepower?
The determining factor for the speed of a STREET car is it's power to weight ration in correlation with it's drag coefficient.
Lex400sc, I have just one question for you:
Do you have any grasp whatsoever of this theoretical concept which is famously known around the world as "common sense?"

Funny you mention the "if" factor seeing as this whole thread was started over a fabled car, the LS500, which does not even exist
. So how are you sitting there pounding me for adding ifs to an already iffy equation? I'm just illustrating that transmission efficiency is a KEY factor in performance, and so far everyone is making bold claims without even considering that---as if all you need to know about a car is it's displacement and horsepower to pigeon-hole it
. Bunch of magazine racers... What if the SL600TT made it's 550hps at around 6700rpms and the LS500 made it's 360hps at 3200rpms? Hmm, didn't consider that huh? Uh oh, somone call the if-police on that one!!
Imaginary cars aside, the IS430 on the other hand has a line up of fully functional prototypes that have already been built, tested, and sent to Lexus execs to see if it's a practical business move.

One more thing I would like to add to support what I have said.
The Maybach, which is double the size and weight of an S-Class can do 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, therefore if you put that same engine in a car half it's size and weight (S600), you have got yourself one powerhouse of a vehicle. The S600 is going to do 0-60 in something like 4.3-4.5.

Sorry, but the IS430 is also a car that doesn't exist. There are no official plans anywhere that state it'll ever show up. For what anyone knows, it can be supercharged, but it will probably be N/A. I feel as though there will be an IS430 sooner or later, but it'll be normally aspirated and land in the low 300s for horsepower -- basically the same engine out of the larger LS. This isn't to say that it's possible that way more power can be generated by attaching a supercharger, but it's very unlikely that it'll be done from the factory. Lexus has a stellar reputation for reliability and build quality -- high boost failures are the last thing they need. Odds are that it won't happen.
Nurburgring times would be helpful if anyone has them.

Yeah, I'm sure Lexus will drop that super duper gear ratio in the blandmobile, since we all know Lexus is known for sportiness!!!!! Give me a freakin break.

Where have you seen performance numbers for the Maybach? I'm dying to get more info on it.

Wow, some Mercedes fanatic you make, Maybach specs have been plastered all over ClubLexus for months and here you are still sitting in the dark, LOL. **** you even have a dedicated Maybach forum and you're still here sitting on your hands like a little dufus

hi everyone,
when it comes to a Mercedes Benz bbs, i think it is only logical for people who post here to be excited and proud of the cars they own. the odd thing is lexus car owners trying to convince Mercedes Benz owners at a MB bbs that lexus makes a better automobile?!?!? i think if the Mercedes Benz owners thought that lexus made a better product they would have bought a lexus in the first place and they would spend their time posting at a lexus bbs. i would think if i went to a lexus bbs and posted what boring and uninspiring cars lexus manufactures that most posters would get pretty upset....i know i would if i wasted 70 large on a blandmobile!:p so...it's not the Mercedes Benz people posting at this site that are living in denial....it's the people pushing lexus at a MB site that are in denial and need therapy!!!

Basically its all of MBWorld vs. 2 Lexus people... funny lol.
It's a matter of what you like, not the numbers IMO. I have a friend that is a OBSESSED Japanese car fan and he always tells me the specs of japanese cars and whatnot. I just dont' care... I rather take a German car over any other car in this whole world. Call me any names or whatever you wish, but I just don't care.
Just my $0.02
