Got beat by a solara !!! Non supercharged!!!

This guy took 3 car lengths on within the first 60 ft !!! He walked away from me lol! He was manual transmission and V6 for sure.
I know what a TRD Solara is capable of! And believe me there was no blower involved... i would have heard it whining like a bish.

Oh man... this guy had 3 people in his car too !!!!

He was a really good driver... Either that or he had some 50hp headers lol.... Must have been nos. He didnt peel out what so ever. I have a new respect for that car man...

how did you handle your car? were you in SS mode? or did you simply just floor the gas and let the car do the work?

that's what I was thinking.

-Keep the a/c off
-put in SS mode
-Turn off VSA
-don't forget the gas is on the right :p
-if he pulls ahead, slam into him!!!

I've taken Solara's by at least a car length before. I don't doubt they are fast but a TL-S should easily blow it away
I assumed you have a TL-S. If you have a TL-P I don't doubt you got your ass spanked.

He did say he raced a TRD Solara, Is there not a difference in TRD and normal?

I got a guy in my club that has a TRD Camry supercharged with the manual and I was SHOCKED at how fast it was. He took me on some runs up to 110mph and the car just rocketed. The car is silent as stock, barely a whine from the supercharger. I did not even hear a blow off valve.

He lied, he had a supercharger. A TL-S will whoop a Solara. A Tl-P will tie a Solara.
I know what a TRD Solara is capable of! And believe me there was no blower involved... i would have heard it whining like a bish.
Motor Trend got a 5.6 second run with the supercharger in the coupe and Road and Track got a 6.2 I think with the heavier convertible.

Car and Driver NOV 2000: (Toyota Thunder:TRD Camry Solara)
TRD added 23.5% more power (47HP) and 28 torque over the stock 200HP 214 Torque.
0-60= 6.3sec
1/4= 14.9 at 95mph
Your profile indicates that you have a 2000 TL, YOU WLL LOOSE PERIOD.
If it was NITRO, even worst.
You need a TLS to beat him and not by much. A modded TLS will kill him.
Read a little before you try an unknown territory.

dude he was stating that it wasnt a TRD, if it wasnt one he would have beat it. if it was a solara that some one threw a supercharger on(i.e.TRD) he would loose, but not by much!
