those look like a lexus wheel and it looks like a drag radial on the rear. i fully believe that car can do 9s. hell its not even hard, just follow the directions to makeing a supra fast and do it to this car instead.
the other thing we must look at what street legal here may not be street legal in the usa

it doesnt look that stock anymore due to the sponsors stickers
Anyway, just for kicks here is a look at a 5 second quarter mile...Jet style...

wasnt there a guy running germany in the late 30s early 40s that said this also......ha ha haBeetles for everybody I say!!!!...
I think what Jibby maybe saying is that that car will not go 9's on the tire/wheel combo in the picture... I agree.
That is exactly what Jibby is saying and that is why I posted all the drag links in the above posts with cars running slicks with slower track times... Hopefully to show a point that it is almost impossible to think that a stock looking Cressida can do 9 seconds in the quarter mile running stock street tires and rims... Hey, the car obviously can be made to have the necessary power to run in the 9's and that I do not disagree with, it's the traction from a dig that I question severly...
Again, this Cressida running 9.3 shows 0 wheel spin at launch, grippy as hell which strongly leads me to believe he has grippy track slicks on the rears... A little detective race track forensic science for you folk....:cop:
Clint - It's Elvis for everybody on not the Beetles... My bad..:tongue2:
Read and view this world record claim on low profile street tires... This vid pretty much validates my points... High 9's too...
