Both cars being AT, I would have to give the edge to the Camry V6.

You'd be suprised...Go from a 50 roll and shouldn't have a problem. I raced one a while back, it had the wheels and dual exhaust so I figured it was a V6. We went from about 55 and we were dead even then I started pulling. We both let off at about 100.

At 20mph you'll be starting in 2end gear, and as soon as you punch it, the TL will automatically down shift into first gear... a sweet spot. I think it'll be close....

^that's not a good idea because it will take time to downshift. If possible, slide the gear lever to 1st so that you are actually in first gear and shift the lever to 2nd at 6000rpm as there's a delay (it should hit right at the redline once the delay is over).

Why not race from a dead stop and let the chips fall where they may? They're both autos, so I don't see the problem. I mean it's one thing to play on the highway with a stranger, but if you're taking the trouble to plan a race, why not do it right? All this talk about the best roll speed to "put the TL in its powerband" is so ricer. Sorry guys...

Race from a dig and a roll. Its not a bad thing to see how the TL will do. Think of a camry V6 being as fast as a TL 6MT stock. They run similar times. From a dig you might not do so bad. You cannot disable the traction control on the new camry so if he floors it right off the bat his traction control will limit his wheelspin. Giving you a nice start. If he knows how to manipulate the throttle without engadging TCS he will pull on you.

It is probably surprising mostly because the model has always had a heritage of being slow until the current generation. Honestly, I am considering an SE V6 as a replacement for my 07 AV6....that is assuming I cannot get a comparable deal on a leftover 08 TL Type S.

Much my chagrin, my son had an impromptu run with a new Camry SE V6 and he indicated that it just about hung even with his Altima from a standing start...and some of you know how quick his Altima is.

ive heard from car mags that the tcs in camrys arent defeatable. my girlfriend has a 2002 V6 Camry and theres no button to turn off the tcs, so race from and dig and see what happens. i launched hard on a E36 M3 from a dig but got owned once we got going, so practice launching, you'd be suprised

The design is subjective (though I like it best in SE guise) but from what I understand, the "character" of the new Camry V6 is largely unchanged from prior generation....it just happens to have loads more power than before. Despite the increased power, it still leans more heavily towards being a family sedan than a sports sedan.
