I sell for Toyota and the new SEV6 Camry is nuts. The 268hp 3.5l V6 is crazy...

Not impressed the Hyundai puts out 274 hp with a 2.0 liter 4 banger (granted that it's turbocharged)

Hyundai must be lying. How can the lighter more powerfull car (both in hp and torque) be slower?

I don't the detailed specs of both cars but weight does play a role. Also the transmission and gear ratios have an impact on performance.

Happens a lot to me.

We have lots of R32 skylines here in Canada, and those guys are the worse. Just about a week ago a guy trying to impress his GF in an RB20 skyline spooled up his little pea shooter turbo and let the blow off valve release right in my passengers window.....so i dropped back wound up the T51 and I let him hear what an open dump 60mm wastegate sounds like as i blazed by him fighting for grip LOL. He didn't look too happy.

lol basically little turbo on a skyline + BOV = "psssshhhhtt" vs. huge turbo + open wastegate at full boost = "BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

It is loud as hell and if his window was open i'm sure it overpowered whatever music he had playing
