Default raced a camry..you would be surprised

so went to the local spot here in shreveport and ran a good bit of people
-got behind an evo and a gti racing and rode their bumper from a dig and eventually weaved through and passed them...
-beat the evo 1 on 1
-beat a railhart edition or w.e
-beat a base lancer with headers/intake
-barely lost to an lt1 corvette with intake and headers
and the camry..
-brand new camry with intake and catback
30 roll-i had him by half a car for a while till we stopped
40 roll- i put about a car
dig-i was way to hard on it and he jumped in front of me.
these new camrys are fast!

Put a intake, and catback on your car, and learn how to launch from a dig A stock LS4 with a 2.2 to 2.4 60ft will run 14.5's or worse. Especially, if left in dive with a early 2-3 shift!

The only thing about a Camry is... it doesn't really matter if you have a fast Camry. It's like being the best ping pong player in town. Nobody really gives a @*$# lol. Put another way, it's like having a fast Oldsmobile Alero or something else lame that no matter how fast it may be, it still is what it is, it can't run away from that fact no matter how fast it tries.

268 HP in a light car like Camry will run strong, as much as I hate to say it.

I still hate them, though.
