Cool dude haha! With that CAI your sure to get some good air flow, with your weight reduction that corolla stands no chance haha! dont forget to take out the spare tire, another 8lbs that your car doesnt need <-- in that order

shouldn't be, he made no mention of street racing. Racing is fine, as long as it's done in the right environment.

& I hope you win, lol.
There is hope, my basically mechanically stock Camry kept up with a Ford Focus hatch, til it came time to switch gears, the Camry's slush box kept her back. My Camry does beat Stock Civics, so you should win, if anything, minor weight reduction & you should be fine.

I was talking to him yesterday on AIM. This is why that "auto tranny launch" thread is there. HE DID SAY TRACK DRAG RACING. The corolla weighs about 1000 less WITHOUT the driver and has about the same torque and horsepower numbers. She apparently "weighs at least 220". I figured, as long as he launches and shifts right and sheds as much weight as he can out of the car, he should be able to cut it close. He has a Gen 4 5S-FE LE Auto by the way.

You're fucked with the auto.

What strip are you hitting up?

Is this on track or street?

We don't condone illegal street racing in TN, and we don't allow any talk of it either.

If this is happening on a street i suggest you stop posting about it and do not post the video.

Definitely. The auto camry is a whole second slower than the 5-speed camry.

That's if they're both in perfect condition. My advice is to remove EVERYTHING. Rear seats and backs, passenger seat, trunk mats and plastics, spare, jack, tire iron, radio, etc. Shit I would completely gut it. No carpet, no nothing. Just a drivers seat, shifter and steering wheel

bypass the A/C compressor with a different belt...
