Anyone know the 0-60sec for the 07' Camry V6? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I'm just curious if it's as fast as the Avalon or even faster since it has same engine spec and a lighter body. Thanks!

You just answered your own question.

0-60 times aren't just power to weight. They're heavily influenced by gearing as well. I'm not sure if anyone knows the specs on the gear ratios yet for the new '07.

Well they might be lower because the latest car and driver complained that you couldn't turn off the traction control. The artical was called 'The Anti-Sport Sedan'. (They claim that 'with the tinyest chip of wheel spin the car slaps you on the wrist and doesn't function for 0.5 seconds)

I just don't understand how you can't turn off TCS. Well, those car magazine editors writing those things aren't engineers, (at least the ones I have met) they are sometimes stupid when it comes to technical stuff. As a powertrain engineer, I have dealt with those magazine editors doing test drives, and man, some of them you just want to slap them on the face for being so ignorant and stupid.

"I thought L range was for sport mode." L range is for lower gears so you can use engine brake stupid.

I thought "R" meant "Race" for a while there. No wonder why I kept losing...

You realize I was just kidding, right?

More features, more luxurious, wider wheelbase, wider car.

Most people arent buying new camry's/Avalons for their speed. They are mid size semi luxery vehicles for decent prices.

It doesen't mean if you paid more it should be faster.

Avalon's are geared more to luxury than the Camry.

Looking at both specs..Camry would be a tick faster due to an extra gear in the trans.
That's if the gears are spaced right.

I recently read Car and Driver in the library and it said something like 8 seconds for the 4-banger. I don't know about the V6 though. The writers did say the traction control slowed the car down. Frankly, if I got a Camry I wouldn't care. As long as its smooth and gets on the highway all right, I'll be happy.
