Would hook up alot better like that. what tires do you all suggest. I have stock 17's in the back. dont want to spend a fortune being I will later put 20's on for just cruisen and stocks for winter and maybe drag strip.

Bridgestone Potenza RE960 A/S ... These tires are amazing and are simply the best for all-season traction, the best handling A/S tires I've ever used ... Did a hard stop from 70-0 in the rain with these on my old ES and did not hydroplane ...

Then I just dont see how the gs 400 ran 14.3's in a 1/4. that is very respectable for a 4 door luxury car. I would think with performance converter and lsd you could easily run 13's

yeah a 14.3 is damn good for a big car like that but i dont know how they got that number! i wouldn't be surprised if the test car was running a different ecu wtih more timing.
i woudln't be surprised if a performance convertor did bring it into the 13;s. the top end on the car is good, they're just soft when they leave.
