I want a v6 5spd so bad. How big of a difference?
Steve's back, this time with a 5 spd
Hey guys, its me steve. I used to be on here all the time, but a new job left me with little to no time to jump on. Unfortunately I was a proud owner of a mint 94 camry 2 door coupe V6. It was almost done. Custom installed stereo (same as current, itemized below), intake, custom 2" pipe to magnaflow muffler, 18" rims, tinted windows, clear bumper lights and tails 
( now gone)....you get the picture.
But alas, life goes on, so I took my insurance check after that camry hit a wall (control arm snapped at 120 on the hwy) and bought none other than another camry.
This one is a 4 door, but I take a lot of condolence in the fact that its 5spd, wow, what a difference!!
Mods so far:
18" Majustic chrome rims (they survived somehow)
Clear bumper lights (on route)
2X 12" Rockford HE2 subs (custom installed)
Rockford BD 500 mono block amp (custom installed)
Clarion 400.4 4 channel amp (custom installed)
Xpower 1 farat cap (custom installed)
Clarion DXZ925 head unit (motorized face)
On the way:
Magnaflow muffler w/ 2" pipe
RMM front bumper (have it already, need 2 paint + install)
Suspension technologies 1.3" lowering springs
KYB shocks
Powerslot front rotors w/ TRD calipers
Tint, love my tint
PRM/Injen intake (the holes in my factory box aren't quite doing it for me!!)

V6 BIG difference
To say there is a difference would be an understatement. The 5 spd on the V6 motor is like driving a whole new car!!! I mean, its no porsche, but it certainly makes up for the lag off the line I noticed on my old automatic. Also, in 94 camry's had an all aluminum block, a little lighter...my 93 is now cast iron, heavier and loses 3 hp, but I would say this one is wayyy faster.
Apparantly, V6 5spds were only made in 92 and 94, limited production, who knows if thats true b/c until I bought this one, I had no idea they even made one!!!!
