Wow the Camry is faster than the WRX in all but the 0-60 and it has a higher trap in the 1/4 but the same times

To have the Camry in 2nd place for a Speed comparo just sounds too weird...

The Accord V6 and Altima 3.5 should be in there. But I no longer get excited about FWD cars, even if they are quick.

Altima is there, it placed 4th
Accord V-6 is a step behind the new Camry and Altima in acceleration. They Accord hybrid isn't as fast as those 2.

Depends if you like front end torque steer, or rear end wheel spin / slide.

I wonder how the WRX folks will react when they see their car is compared to a Camry.

Talk about a sleeper... I'd actually consider one if it wasn't FWD.

I dunno about brake feel, but it even managed to outstop the WRX.

Camry
Braking, 70–0 mph: 170 ft

WRX
Braking, 70–0 mph: 175 ft

Camry:
Top speed (governor limited): 145 mph
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.81 g

WRX:
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.83 g



I remember reading that thread in the 2IS forum about the top speed being limited to 140mph in the IS350, yet its limited to 145mph in the Camry.


lol, just cant help but laugh at the fact that the sensible people mover, the "appliance" for millions of drivers can go toe to toe with a WRX in acceleration and braking. Is that even suppose to happen??
