my friend has a 94 Camry and it is totally stock...he brought that **** up to 140 mph!!! thats amazing...it must be the Overdrive and ETC Power buttons...does neone know what exactly the ETC power button do??? ALSO, i used to have 93 Maxima and theres a power button and and comfort, i kept it on power without knowing what it did...can neone say nething about this???

All i gotta say is a 94 camry....140 mph...amazing...

 

I'd say there isn't anything to unbelivable about that. That ETC is just they same as our p/c button BUT I think it has a winter mode which starts it in 3rd gear. It shouldnt affect top speed unless it prevented it from going to 4th.....which it doesn't. At any rate a stock auto vg is good for around 125 or so. Figure a auto VE(190hp) should make it into the 130's. I'm betting your friends car is a v6 cuz the 130hp ish 4 banger AIN'T GONNA MAKE IT NEAR 140!

 

hahaa nooo its a V6 auto...all those buttons and crap like ETC just give it a big *** boost...theres a major difference, ive noticed it when i was with him in the car

 

Yea....I don't know the camrys but I think it stands for Electronic Transmision Control....It may change the shift points....or even the firmness(faster accell), but woundn't affect top speed UNLESS it changes the ecu and advances timing among other things.

 

My dad has that on his Avalon...you're right, it doesn't affect top speed...it just changes shift points...kind of like a "sport" mode for the auto.

 

we ought to stop talking about camry's.... sheesh. what is this? Camry.org?

 

LOL. It's all good though! Although I am a Avalon owner...I have love for Maximas. If I had the cash...i'd get myself a new 01 20th Anniversary Edition SE in Icelandic Pearl and Frost Cloth.

As for the ECT (Electronically Controlled Transmission) Button on the dash, it has a NORM & PWR mode. PWR mode allows the tranny to stay in gear longer for more a more aggressive shift pattern. NORM mode selects normal driving shift pattern for better fuel economy.

Whos gonna help me eat those Accord EX V6's? Hehe

 

Sorry, I'm going to have to vote for broken speedo.. Hehe..

Hey Chebosto, it's all good.

 

That's not that amazing... A stock SE maxima tops out around 144 or so.

 

Mine tops out at 130ish (governor) with about 1100 rpm to go in 5th gear.

 

I posted a top speed poll in the 3rd gen forum. All I have to say is I've had mine to 135 and it would still accelerate. '93 SE 5spd VE

 

ihave been at 140+ in the max, the speedometer ended
nothin special for the camry, but i wouldnt like to drive it at that speed

 

I love older cars without speed limiters...I got my GT-S without the supercharged engine to go 130mph at 6800rpm...now with the supercharged engine and tranny...ehh...I don't know, but I think it might be a little higher...almost scarry...I don't think my bridgestones can go that fast!

Factory supercharged motor?? The only one I know is the older MR2 engine. You have one of those in your car? Sweet!

 

I swapped it in from a Japanese toyota levin gt-z...it's the same motor as the MR2 Supercharged, just more power...factory power is 165hp, which I think is underrated..
