Camry Endurance Racer

[Ian89C4]

New to the forum, so not sure where to post this, why not start here......

Looking to build a touring car out of a Toyota Camry for Sports Car Club of America club racing events. I currently own a 2000 LE as a daily driver and was looking at it for a while the other day and thought that it would make an attractive race car! I did a little research, and apparently it is not a popular platform to make a race car out of......But I think that it would be a great handling car if you drop it down a bit and stiffen it up. On that note - looking for a 92-96 V6 with a manual as a platform.

First question - is this the only year group that has a manual paired with a V6 (not enough horse power from the i4 for class the car will be in, need a V6)

Second question - has anyone on here made a road racing car out of a Camry before? I am talking about road courses like Virginia International Raceway - not looking to drag race or street race.


Thanks in advance.

97-01 had a V6 mated to manual transmission. There are lots of members that track their car, if that counts.
