Fun stuff - I was surprised by the outcome, although I did have a hunch
Anyways, took this guy from a dead stop - I didn't notice until he punched it while he was one car ahead: I played catch up to confirm. Next light, onto the freeway - took it from a dead stop and we stayed even, side-by-side until around 110 - pulled on him a car and half by 140 (flame suit on )

Again, went around the ramp onto the interstate - 2nd gear pull for me after three honks - pulled on him a car length; driver reaction times on this one: he smashed it before I finished the third honk.

Performance mods FTW - "Spirited Street Runs" FTMFL

WAHHOO!!! I love my crank pulley

Any one have experience with these pesky/ugly things? haha

They are as fast as a stock TL 6MT - 14.3@99mph. You won because you have mods!

I don't think they're quite that quick. I've seen tests around 14.5-14.7 @ 96-97 mph. 9/10 of the time a base 6MT should creep away from one on the highway. Do you have a link to the 14.3?

erick3

lol my point exactly

Manual Transmission

1300c, the Camry V6 is a supercar.....




Car&Driver

C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 5.8 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 14.5 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 31.0 sec
Street start, 5-60 mph: 6.1 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 14.3 sec @ 99 mph
Top speed (governor limited): 145 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 170 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.81 g


It's a close ratio 6 speed transmission. This, and more hp and torque makes this car so dang fast. I *knew* the acceleration is just about dead even with the regular TL 6MT for the quarter mile, but will slowly get waxed by a 6MT TL from 100~ 150.

Of course, if driven well on a TL 6MT you could edge out the Camry V6 in the quarter mile.

Yes, the Camry V6 beats BOTH TL 5AT and Type-S 5AT in the quarter mile. Wax.





wax man.... buffing... waxing...buffing... waxing... buff buff wax wax

Manual Transmission

........and of course here comes the TL 6MT

C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 5.6 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 14.5 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 28.4 sec
Street start, 5-60 mph: 6.2 sec
Standing 1/4-mile: 14.3 sec @ 99 mph
Top speed (drag limited): 152 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 174 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.90 g

As both you and I know, the TL 6MT will be faster than the Camry V6 from 0- 130 mph.


My estimate, the TL 5AT should take around 38 seconds from 0- 130 mph. The Type-S Auto should take 35 seconds... uhhh..... tall gears.

Well, maybe, maybe at best the TL 5AT could do 36 seconds at 130 mph and 33 seconds for the Type-S 5AT. That's the best I can offer.

Stock they do run 14.3 but not at 99MPH. The magazines always trap fast. Here is a real timeslip from dragtimes. 14.3@97.38 w/ 2.1 60ft.

Here is the link.

Afterall the camry has a detuned version of the IS350's V6 (I believe there's no direct injection in the Camry and it's also missing a few other things), and we all know how fast the IS350 is...that is, the Camry will get "super waxed" by the new Accord 6MT..lol...

Satin, I think most mags correct their performance numbers before publishing? And usually after the correction the numbers tend to be better?

I am not sure if they correct their numbers or not. I know that they use equipment to measure their tests and not a real 1/4 mile track, but I would assume it would have a correction factor for elevation, temp, humidity and others. Most of the time the magazines get really close to real world numbers so you are probobly right in that they use a correction factor.

I need to run into one of these on the highway. I've seen a few, but they always seem to be piloted by the geriatric croud. I'd hate to have Gramps inhale his respirator tube at 100 mph.


(Can you get the SE with a 4 cyl? I believe most of the ones I've seen are single outlet exhaust.)

Manual Transmission

iforyou, the IS350 comes from the Lexus 3GS family, not the Camry. The IS350 is the *shortened* version of the Lexus GS350 RWD platform. The Camry is a Front wheel drive. Just because both cars have same displacement and have similar weight doesn't mean both are the same car....


I was exaggerating about the Camry being a supercar... ya know sometimes I have funny behavior... The Camry is indeed a quick car though.

This may very well be your most sensible post yet.

I don't know C&D does it. I mean I know this was with an A-Spec, so the suspension and summer tires no doubt helped, but 5.6 to 60 in a FWD car with 258 hp/233 tq and a weight of ~3550 (A-Spec weight) is pretty impressive. I think 5.5 is the best I've seen for a Type-S 6MT.

MT, I think you got a little bit confused with what I said..lol..I was only referring to the engine, not the platform/chassis. The Camry uses the 2GR-FE engine, while the IS350 uses the more advanced 2GR-FSE engine that comes with dual injection system (it can use both port injection and direct injection) hence the extra 40hp.

Yea, you can't go much faster than 5.5s from 0-60mph for a stock FWD sedan...I remember reading the comptech SC'ed CL-S, even though it has 369hp, its 0-60mph time isn't any faster than a stock CL-S due to traction problem.

Blazing GT

Camry could possibly outrun a TL-S?

good kill eric!

I hate the Camry in stock form, but with the kit,rims and lowers I WOULD DEFINETLY DRIVE IT!

Manual Transmission

Indeed, the Camry is an ugly looking car. The TL/TL Type-S look much much better.

07+ Acura TL-S 5AT vs Toyota Camry V6 6AT = Drivers race!

lol

It's still unattractive and is missing a pedal.

I haven't messed around with a new Camry yet.

How many miles are on your TL erick3?

I just hit 84,000 and it still pulls hard! WOO!

erick3

haha 84k huh? you're a bit further than me up the road - i just hit 70k over the weekend; still pulling hard here too - could be the colder weather though, or maybe the crank pulley??? finally settled in???
