Camry vs. Scion

[MgR!]

My friend has a 07 Scion, how well would i hold up to him in a race. I have a 96 Camry LE v6 with a CAI and fuel system just flushed out.

Thanks

I hope you mean at the strip and not on the street. TN does not condome street racing, and it's just stupid in general.

[MgR!]

It would be on a strip of cement on private owned property with plenty of space! Nothing illegal.

If its a TC your probally screwed, if its the other one with a 1.8 or whatever then your good.

The TC has the 2.4 from the newer gen camrys.

if its a autotragic tc there's still hope.

if you're automatic, then abandon all hope... well, until you get a manual, anyhow. your 0-60 is about 8 seconds, not sure on TC numbers, but it's a newer car. less torque, probably around same weight, but these automatic trannies have been getting a lot better over the years...

Correction 05` Scion, Do i stand anymore of a chance? Haha. And yes i have an automatic. His is automatic also. Should i drive with it in OD?

Lol

I try to hope that people are smart enough not to seriously race on the street. 0 - speed limit at a red light is cool, but going balls out, weaving between traffic is like aiming for a darwin award... w

OP, overdrive is pointless if you're racing. it's a higher gearing, so you'll get less torque/power at the wheels...
try sneak a few bags of sand into your friend's trunk... or a couple of dead hookers. that'll give you a weight advantage

I kid

seriously, I'm not sure what you can do, short of getting a bolt-on nitrous kit. hope your friend doesnt know how to launch?

[MgR!]

How can you get a good launch with an automatic?

[ONE_to_HATE]

brake stand on the lowest gear > drop shifting .. BUT its not recommended.. and neither is drop shifting.. so go from a roll instead of a dig.

[MgR!]

20 roll?

Put in high octane fuel and add a dynotab or two.

[quangtran89]

Put nitrous in your camry...lol

Wet system with WOT, 50-75 shot should be enough. Use it moderately.

dude i held up with a scion at about 60 on the highway in my 5sfe with exhaust and intake. I would run him from a stop and then see what happens at a roll. Imma say you'll give him a run bro.
