I don't know what 1/4 mile times have to do with me putting a couple of cars on 80-120MPH 1/4 mile times for both cars are very similar, of course I don't have to worry about missing a shift though. GS400 has been recorded doing a 14.3 in the quarter for a 98 model before ODBII... they slowed down a little 99 to present.
Turbo on my car can be had between 5K-10K and puts 400+ to the wheels, way more than I need. A simple TC and LSD (Supra 3.76) puts the car into the mid to low 13's but I really don't have much need for that either, as I stated my daughter is in the car 80% of the time.
My daughter is 3 and will be in the back seat... hopefully that is not your "thing"
P.S. I don't have to be a great driver, just put the gas on the floor or e-shift into 3rd and wait for the move...

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

about your daughter. The way you put it sounded like she was the driver in it all the time.

even though she does like it when I drive a little aggressive... it must be in the genes...

I know......I typoed the es instead of gs.......its correct now, but the time was accurat for a GS400= 1/4 --->14.4 with a professional driver.

Motortrend managed a 14.3 (lowest published I believe)...
http://www.dragtimes.com/Lexus-GS400-Timeslip-112.html
Typical results vary between 13.9-15.0 for drivers I have spoken with. Switch the rear with a Turbo Supra 3.76 and add a higher stall dragon TC and consistant mid to low 13's are seen with SRT intake and aftermarket exhaust.
Believe me, the 1UZ-FE is quite a powerplant. The block is all aluminum with 6 bolt main bearing caps along with forged steel crank and balanced to zero forged pistons.
