the handling of a V6 commodore should be even better than the V8 due to less weight over the front wheels, and manual on manual the commodore will win my mum has a manual v6 camry touring and it is quite gutless unless above 4k rpm, thus when going through twisties a commodore with low down torque will kill it for power down out of the corner, let alone the fact that you will be able to put the power down earlier as it is rear wheel drive. I reckon my corona would beat the camry through twisties as it has great low down response just what you need for coming out of a hairpin, also when push through corners the camry has a habit of starting to spin up the inside wheel, now this is one with stiffer suspension let alone your rolly polly standard job. I learnt to drive on a 4cyl camry and let me tell you body roll is your friend, stop kidding yourself nomatter how much you hate it the commodore will beat a camry end.

Corona my SV21 Camry would more than likely beat your Corona you don't really know do you. front wheel drive is usually quicker of the mark (if you know how to use a clutch properly and don't have 300hp at the wheels) due to the fact it will get a power to the ground better then rwd that is why a fwd is better of the mark then a rwd when not much power is involved (both Commodore and Camry are NOT sports or drag cars). I forgot your Corona can pull away from a WRX while doing 80km/h in 5th?(dream on).I'd like to see this Corona in action I bet it would be lucky to do 100mph on a good day oh and the V6 Camry would win GO OUT AND DRIVE A COMMODORE BEFORE SPEAKING!!! I also drive something with great response down low as well,you seem to brag about reving motors out the V6 Camry motor does not need to be reved hard for it to move as it has good torque and it is torque that will win you races NOT power! besides if a car is so quick you should not need to rev a motor right out,why do you think car manufactures put rev limiters in there cars for? so people like you don't fuck there cars up maybe??? I can handle a front wheel drive pretty well now that I am used to it. all cars are different and have to be driven differently.

The Camry in question is a 1999 V6 CSi 5 speed manual with the same 3L V6 found in the sportivos and newer Camrys the V6 Camry has come along way from what it was. I will prove it to you if I have too that a V6 Camry with a 5-spd manual from 1997 onwards is quicker then a VT V6 Commodore (even in manual form)
