In the 2nd start from another red light, We came off the line even, then again, as soon as my slow *** auto shifted to 2nd, I started to pull on him by the 4-5k RPM range, Forget about what happened after that
My car is 190hp, his is 185, we are both stock and I had heavier rims on.. He still talks **** like my Maxima is a POS and Toyota's rule. One thing I must say, is that Toyota auto trannies are super smooth if compared to a Nissan..
Also, wasn't the Camry dude running 14s the one with the Supercharger?
Correct me if I am mistaking.

i raced my friend the other night...he has a '92 i4 camry (not sure which model)...4 door...it was funny...by 60 mph i was ahead by 4 cars and thats when i shut down...i didn't even torque brake or anything...i just punched it off the line...he did torque brake
Lets see how long this can go eh? 
Christina, I think I've explain this to you in another post. I'm not going to explain it again. I think you know what I think about you. I'm glad you don't post on here as much after making an *fill in the blank* in another post similar to this. Some of us on here are actually mature about this, some of us aren't. We all know what catigory you fall into.

The Max GXE weighs 3235 lbs. with an auto tranny and the Camry 3296 lbs. with the auto tranny. Also the Camry is touting 194hp and 205 ft/lbs. of torque vs. the Max with 222hp and 217 ft/lbs. of torque. Somethings wrong?

I have both
I have both max and camry...actually, the camry belongs to my mom. I used to drive it a lot untill I got the max. First thing I notice is that I felt max is slower at low end. why?
1.CAmry has a very soft pedal. easy pressing pedals make u think it is faster than max's hard pedal.
2.Camry has soft soft soft soft suspension....u dun feel jack when u drive on rough roads....and softer suspensions have faster acceleration at low end
driving my max is more fun than the camry.
