Better acceleration

[initial-T]

my '93 wagon seems to have real good acceleration compared to most of my friend's camrys, all of which are newer and sedans. is there a reason for mine having more pick-up? note: all camrys tested against are automatics, and include:


mine: '93 camry wagon
'96 v6 camry xle
'97 camry le
'99 camry le
'01 camry ce
'01 camry le

Couple of things come to mind: Weight and gear ratios. Like My Gen 2 sux azz off the line, but on the interstate rollin at 70 I can get more top end power to beat my friends 86 RX-7.

Weight would have a lil to do with acceleration, but depends on how much weight difference there is.

Engine size also has a big role. Not too familiar with Non-Gen2 Camrys engine, but are all those LEs I4s? Cuz if those are all I4 and u got a V6, u shud have better acceleration.

all them except the one were v4's...mine as well.

meh...ur right though...
im not sure how light the newer gen's are...but i'm pretty sure they're all lighter than my wagon.
