Congrats on your find. 5spd versions of your car is very rare...along with it's Camry counterpart. You have a 3VZ-FE V6 engine which was found in 92-93 Camry V6 and ES300 models. Those years were 2 of the 3 years that the 5spd was available for the ES. The first year was the 2VZ-FE ES250. The 5spds are faster than their auto counterparts. Most of the car magazines tested the 92-93 Camry SE V6 5 spd and were able to obtain 7.7-8.0 sec 0-60 times and 15.8-16.1 1/4 times. The ES should be identical..or a little slower since it's a little heavier than the Camry. The ES300 shares it's chassis with the Camry. They have identical chassis codes. Your year happens to be the VCV10. The 94-96 ES300 (MCV10) used the 1MZ-FE V6.
Good Luck!
