Why Mod A Camry?

How many of you have people asking why you did that to a camry?

i have and I tired of it, instead of trying to explain to them why? i just say why not?

because it's not a Honda
because nobody has done it
because the backseat has more room for girls
because the girls fall asleep everytime they're in it
because your momma likes it

Just choose one

In my case, I'm the only modded Camry in my country... YES, it is a VERY small country but that makes my Camry a unique car..

Someone witha mustang gt asked me why I put money into a Camry, why dont I by a mustang? I said "what like the car you are driving? No offense man but your car is too slow for me, if I had to choose between these two cars I would pick the faster one which happens to also be a 4 door family car." His response, "well you only have a couple of cars on me and with my new underdrive pulley..." I just smiled and told him that Im just getting started.

(btw for anyone who cares, I upped the boost again and retuned since I ran 15.3 @92mph, now I should be into the 14's judging by cars I have been beating lately. track closed so I have to wait for spring now to find out.)

with 6 gazillion camrys on the road, its nice to see some that are a little different.

97camryman, some of me does agree with the mustang gt dude. (with hopes of not starting a fight here...) if you want a really fast car, why not start off with something decently fast and mod from there? thats why i ended up getting a camaro as a weekend warrior. just for comparison sake, my car stock runs in the mid 13s.

Lol I agree with you totally but I just wanted to piss him off! But yeah the Camry is my DD my real reason for choosing it is because my insurance still thinks its a stock 4 banger auto so I get cheap rates and my weekend car is an AE86 corolla coupe with a 20v 4age and gts rear end conversion (lsd disc brakes) and a few suspension mods. If I wanted to go fast I would have bought a different car. I was looking at foxbody mustangs for awhile but I get more excited by turns and autocross. Straight roads are for fast cars but curvy roads are for fast drivers I wanted a lightweight rear wheel drive car for fun but its actually decently quick, it beats the camry fairly easily and it handles like crazy. So yeah I mainly was just trying to be an ass to the guy with the stang.
