A Wealth of Info (Road Test/Stats)3rd Gen V6 Camrys (long)

Went browsing through my school's periodicals and found some old issues of car and driver. decided to search up the actual road test information for the 3rd gen camrys (most specifically 92 models), b/c I'm sick of not knowing my car's actual specs.
I guess it's up to you guys on how you wanna use this information, but just thought that i'd share the wealth. So, here it is typed from my own personal hands onto electronic media.

Here goes:
Toyota Camry 1992 model.
some previous awards held by the camry (in 1992):
ranked as the best-quality car built in the united states in 1990 and the est in its class for four consecutive years (ending in 1991) in the J.D. power and associates initial quality survey.

4 models were offered:
DX, LE, XLE
and also the SE version.

what was introduced with the new camry:
a new design allowed for a greater strength in torsional rigidity. added rubber-isolated front and rear subframes, fluid-filled engine mountings.

Some general info on camry:

top spd 133mph 133mph

I know most people don't own a SE v6, 5spd. for those lucky people the following information is for your reference.

Toyota Camry SE Road Test VS Maxima and Taurus SHO
unfortunately it came out 3rd in test...but scored a 10 in fit and finish 8)
185bhp@5200 rpm
195 lb-ft @4400 rpm

transmission/gear ratios:1/maximum test speed, mph/axle ratio:1

5-speed/3.54, 2.05, 1.33, 1.03, 0.82/ 37, 63, 97, 126, 133/ 3.63

The SE has a different final drive ratio than the other v6 models.
3.93:1 vs 3.63:1

Road Test Results for SE:
0-60mph -7.5 sec
0-100mph-22.0sec
0.-120mph-42.4
1/4mile- 15.9@88mph
street start (5-60mph)= 7.7 sec
top gear, 30-50mph- 9.4 sec
top gear, 50-70mph- 9.9 sec
braking, 70-0mph- 180ft
roadholding, 300skpd- 0.79

Interior Sound level, dBA
idle- 41
full throttle- 76
70mph cruising- 71
70mph coasting- 70

And that is the definitive info on 3rd gen camrys (92 model year,v6)- IMO that I've seen.

Wow, the '92 Camry is a lot heavier than the '94-96 with the 1MZ-FE...
