Re: My friend has a 92 LE V6 auto Camry...

Mine is a 93 SE auto.... I raced him twice, once he jumped on me but as soon as I hit 2nd gear I pulled on him and lost him at around 90 by a couple of car lengths..... 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.
Wasn't that gen camry slower than the current gen camry? You should have beat him easily.

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.

I used the search and did not find any results. The April 2001 edition of Motor Trend (pg. 151)claims a 6 cyl. 99 3.0L Camry with an auto tranny can beat a 2000 3.0L Maxima GXE auto by one tenth of a second. 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?
UHHHHH, you must have read wrong...i've raced my bro in law's camry b4 and i beat him....i didn't even have to floor it...max was 4500rpm. but his camry is a 97...V6 auto.

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.
