Default Lexus ISF vs Ford Mustang GT (Fun photo shoot)

Hey guys! Had a fun photo shoot with a friend about two weeks ago.

The F looks so good at night!! Im not a pro photographer, I just have a Nikon D90 and decided to get it out and see how things turn out. This is not a comparison between the two cars. Alot of people I run into do not understand what the ISF is. I try to explain, but i just let the Joe Z exhaust do all the talking once I take off The mustang owner is a great guy. And still ask me why I chose the F when I could have easily have had GT 500, ZR1 (In his mind ) The beauty, luxury, performance, reliability is hard to beat!

Is his mustang a Boss 302 or do all the GT engines have that engine cover now?

His is not the Boss 302. He added the Boss intake manifold. With this upgrade its giving the ISF a very good run. We did a few pulls just for fun (closed road)..I was surprised the F started slightly pulling at the end of 3rd gear But a few bolt ons for him and and tune its a different game.

What mods do you have to the F? I've always thought it would be a pretty dead on run with a new 5.0. I've got a buddy who just got a 5.0 CS speacial and was wanting to run...

Stock for stock you would win on a 30 roll. Again I performed this on a drag strip or a closed road near my house. The Boss intake is adding a dyno proven 15-18hp. It looses torque but is gaining more top end.

Both engines are putting out near the same numbers (3hp difference)

I had lots of issues launching the car with the stock tire setup. To much wheel spin for my liking. So I switched to wider tires with the stock rims and found better performance. New wheels are still backordered.

But IMO I think its a drivers race. The Stang (MT) has some long shifts between gears, where with our 8 gears and very quick shifting comes to our advantage.

Currently I have Joe Z exhaust, Joe Z intake, spare tire remove, lightweight battery And keep gas almost empty when on the strip lol.

PPE headers are sitting in the box in my floor.. Still need to find a good shop in my area for the install.
