u got that right

Hmmm.......my brochure saids it punches 160 HP, so I'm sticking with my 160 HP.

But who cares, my vvt-i emblem gives me a extra 10 hp.

Read the notes.

4-cylinders: In certain reas, 4-cylinder automatic models are equipped as Partial Zero Emission Vehicles (PZEV). Equipment causes nominal reduction in horsepower (from 160-154 hp to 151-145 hp) and torque (from 163 to 161-160 lb.-ft to 158 lb-ft). Comes with emisions warranty of 15 years or 150,000 miles from the date of first use, whichever occurs first. Please refer to the Owner's Warranty information booklet for detailed information on vehicle coverage.

V6: Rating achieved using regular fuel.

So I wonder if you get about the same power if you use Premium unleaded on the V6 as '05 models?

My dad had a gen 3.5 4-cyl. Same thing....That car only had 125 HP, which was down from the gen3.

98CamryLE · 07-22-2005, 12:59 AM

It's strange. The Solara uses the same engines, and the 2006 stats still list the Solara's 3.3 at 225 hp.

It has to be some kind of a weird typo, either that or Toyota's press release about the 2006 Camry being unchanged from 2005 is wrong.

Premium gas on a car that was designed for regular gas causes a reduction in power, not increase. Unless the car can advance timing on its own past its factory specifications. At least from what I understand.

And I thought it was the other way around. Gen3 had 125hp, Gen3.5 had something like 133hp due to some slight revisions.

Just because the Solara and the SE camry has the same 3.3L 3MZ-FE engine doesn't mean that the hp/torque specs must be the same.

Little modification to the PCM and intake would easily de-tune/tune an engine.

And just my two cents, sometimes OEM's must sacrifice performance to meet stringent government fuel economy standards and other requirements.

Super Kaioken · 07-23-2005, 11:52 PM

that's weird....loss of HP? dang. i want the 225 HP engine =O
