Camry vs corolla S - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Ok my friend that I chill with every other day got a new 2009 red corolla S this monday. He keeps on telling me how its better than my camry. He says my car looks like a limo, and the inside is too plain. I havent seen his car yet, he was going to bring it today but it was raining and his parents didnt let him(we're seniors in high school). He says he will bring it on friday. Do you guys think an i4 camry can beat a corolla?

I know my Camry could smoke 'em for sure, it depends on the driver.

A Camry is a much better car than Corolla.

It depends on the driver even if its automatic?

GT-R · 12-10-2008, 03:21 PM

Yes.

Illegal street racing is not allowed on this forum.

You or your friend comparing a Corolla to a Camry is like comparing a tricycle to a bike.

well. this thread is gonna get locked soon but anyways..

Corolla I4 XRS will beat the Camry by simple physics: same engine but lighter car.

The V6 camry will walk all over the corolla regardless of trim model.

The I4 Camry should be able to beat the other corollas with the weaker engines.

How? Just wait 'til the other guy crashes.

Race it in a parking lot or something, I don't do street racing.

You can control the gears manually even with auto.

Wrong again!!!

With your I4 of course, you can beat it.

Well, the driver is the one who drives the car, you see. So as long as the driver can properly shift the car from Park to Drive then he is one step closer to being a good racer. Another thing is that the driver must not apply too much gas as the wheels are likely to spin uncotrollably, being an i4 camry in your case, and the tires might blow. Finally, there is this saying called "reaction time." What it basically means is the time it takes you to react and engage in the racing.

P.S. I hope you race on the track and not on the street like a real douche.

Do you guys think an i4 camry can beat a corolla? Imma tell him to put down $200 lol, but seriously has anyone ever raced a corolla in their Camry?

uh oh....

thanks guys we wont race he's too pussy but if he wants to show me his is superior i will race for like a block or two, I wouldnt do it on a road with lots of lights or stops, just gotta check my tires cause the little orange light with a flat is lighting up...
and you guys are funny

Toyotanation does not support street racing.

***CharmCityES*** · 12-10-2008, 09:57 PM

street racing is highly illegal and highly dangerous. keep it legal, keep it safe, stay on the track and stay alive
dont discuss street racing of any kind here...im tempted to lock this thread but ill let it slide for now...

as for some track figures...
the corolla XRS will walk any camry 4cyl, the V6 camry will waste any corolla, and the 4cyl camy vs 1.8 corolla is a toss up based on driver, condition and which transmission each car has...the corolla has less power but is much lighter than the camry...
