High 5's to 60 and mid 20s combined MPG.

They don't sound too bad either :thumbup:

 

 

It runs like raped ape.

Had to turn VVT-i off or I could dead.

 

Lmfao:laugh:

 

The 3.5 in the Camry has a top speed of exactly 0 miles per hour.

 

A V6 Camry probably smokes 75%+ of the cars on TCL.

Including both in my garage

 

2013+ Accord V6 is the new champ.

0-60 in 5.6 seconds, 26 MPG+ combined. :thumbup:

 

The coupe will trap over 100mph in the 1/4mi.

 

My mother owns a V6 RAV. Wait till I tell her that it's the ultimate sleeper. lol

 

My mom has one, and I've driven it quite a bit. Honestly, it doesn't feel all that fast due to the autotragic and horrible handling. I'm guessing those low 0-60 times would require serious transmission abuse.

 

They are pretty quick. C&D tested 2012 MY 0-60 in 5.8 and 1/4 mile 14.3 @ 101 mph with 25 mpg observed. :thumbup: That is very impressive, specially in comparison to more expensive cars like the F30 328 with the more advanced 8 speed transmission 0-60 5.6 1/4 mile 12.2 @ 98 mph and 21 mpg observed.

Ridiculous. A Camry, the poster child of bread & butter family sedans, turns a 0-60 of 5.8, and C&D just calls it "respectable". :screwy:

 

2014 V6 Camry SE

Slow car.

 

OK. Fantastic contribution.

 

Does it chirp third?

 

Butt dyne says the Rav is faster than the TL

 

TL starting in 2nd most of the time doesn't help either lol.

 

My in-laws have a 2009 ES350 (same engine I'd think) that I drove quite a bit around Yosemite last year.
It moves in a straight line...it was a scary experience driving it around twisty roads as the power
was tempting yet one has no idea what the wheels are up to.

 

Kind of like A Supercharged 3800 V6 Buick Regal.

 

6500rpm

If you're lazy, fastest is a 14.0 @ 98.

 

It's pretty hilarious. I actually LOLed the first time I floored one. It is terrifyingly numb though.

 

My dad had an '07 SE for a while. Very fast but the torque steer was ridiculous.

 

Does the Camry come in manual transmission or auto only?

 

You could get a 4-cylinder with a 5- or 6-speed manual (last couple of years) through 2011, but the V6 hasn't been available with a stick since 2001, I think. Current model = no.

2011

 

The real question is who really cares how fast the 3.5 in the Camry is? It's still a Camry.

 

Stealth. Laypeople will never see you coming. You can embarrass a lot of douches in German cars with one.

 

Its faster than an Audi, lets say an A3 2.0T FSI ???

 

I think this thread highlights an important matter: nowadays econoboxes are as fast as sports cars in a straight line on regular roads. If you own a BMW you can no longer spank what you think is an inferior car.

I remember back in a day when I bought my B6 S4 - man, that was so much faster than most of things on the road and I could do whatever I wanted in terms of merging, passing, etc. and doing it all safely just because I had so much power and acceleration advantage.

Not so much anymore, you have to count on other drivers letting you merge/pass/etc.

So I kind of feel the horsepower race is almost over, most of newer vehicles are almost equal on the road unless you own something really extreme.

 

A base BMW is slower than a high-spec accord, but the top-end BWM (335i or even M3) is still a good deal faster. It's been that way for a while, and will continue to be that way.

 

You have options to tighten up the suspension, that plus generally dull looks and a mid-5's 0-60 and you can have a hell of a sleeper.

 

Fast enough for me to not race one with any of my current vehicles.

 

Is there a supercharger available for the 3.5?

I'm imagining an XLE V6 (SE is way too sporty looking ) with one and some suspension upgrades. :laugh:

 

Is there a supercharger available for the 3.5?

There was a supercharged version of Camry TRD. It lasted exactly a year before Toyota stopped the production due to design issues.

 

It would be nice if Mazda got off their Skyactive asses, and put an engine with some actual balls in either the 3 or the 6. Even the Accord's 4-banger is gutsier than anything you can get on the mazda

its a shame too because I think the accord interior is a messy ****-hole, too many screens, too much going on. I'd take the garmin-looking gps of the mazda of it

 

In any Accord with the 4cyl + 6MT, you aren't going to get that second screen. Only the V6 + 6MT coupe has it.

 

While "sportiness" (or at least the implication of it) is a fine reason to buy a manual, I always bought manuals primarily because they were cheaper. Back in my early car buying years (mid 90s) an automatic was a $1,000+ option. That was significant percentage of the total price back then.
