Who is faster, 04 Solara vs 01 CL-P?

My friend got a 2004 Solara last week. Which car u think would win in the 0-60, or the 1/4 mile? I think they match up very close,
but he has the torque advantage.

2004 Toyota Camry Solara
2dr Coupe SE Sport V6
Engine liters 3.3
Cylinder config. V-6
Horsepower 225hp @ 5,600RPM
Torque 240ft.lbs. @ 3,600RPM
Fuel type unleaded
Automatic transmission 5 speed


2001 Acura CL -P
Engine liters 3.2
Cylinder config. V-6
Horsepower 225hp @ 5,600RPM
Torque 216ft.lbs. @ 4,700RPM
Fuel type premium unleaded
Automatic transmission 5 speed

Specs say Solara, but good god that shit is too ugly to be faster than even a 1st gen =)

Toyota makes some decent engines though.

my experience with most toyotas is they pull hard down low but run out of juice fast up high. i think he will stomp you in the begining and u will either catch up some and stay pretty even. if it was a cl-s i would say you'd catch up and pull ahead. either way i would bet $$$ the solara takes an early lead on either car.

lose the 30 pound 16s and put on some 10lb Volk's and I'd be good to cook.

I'd bet on the Solara (all else being even), especially with that new 3.3L motor.

If you guys run, let us know the outcome.

I say the driver makes all the differnce when the cars are closely matched. A CL driver is always out front...
