i donno what going on, but this stock looking camry ate a r33 skyline on hume highway
at the lights, this r33 pulls up next 2 me, then next to the r33 was a camry, so i was like, this is a no boner...
i was wrong, on green the r33 flys off, but the camry just flys away and the r33 was helpless....
it was like a late 80's camry probly 21v?
anyways the camry killed, and y!?!?! i want answers! please..

GO THE CAMRY"S!!!!!!!!!!!! na I'm suprsied about mine it goes great for what it is though I have never raced an r33 with mine but won't because I'll know I'll get my arsed kicked(unless hopeless driver driving it) It may have been the driver of the r33 I have beaten a few cars that I though would have beaten me due to the fact owner of other car can't drive for shit as the saying goes "Its one thing to own a fast car but it's another thing to be able to drive it" but there would have to be mods done to the camry if it absoultley flogged the skyline if the driver of the skyline knew what he was doing never doubt a slower car you would be suprised about what the cars every one say are "slow" can actually do

even if it was non turbo r33 the camry would still need to be modded a bit to keep up.
My parents SV21 clocked an astonishing 14 second 0-100time! After 350 000kms mind you

Fark I'll defently be replacing my motor before that if mine starts going like that! mines got a 5-spd manual and 201000kms up on it and its nowhere near that slow mines still got a fair bit of go in it for its age but it has had a pretty easy life and has been well looked after and serviced on time(very good service history I have proof of it via a service manual and recepits I hardly ever really give mine a hard time but have driven it hard (love the second gear churp it does while racing  ) in a few races but never redlined it. Also It may of been a V6 Camry the old ones would have to go well my mates got an 1999 model V6 Camry with a manual and its flogged a few cars(mainly Commodore V6 bogans) heared a story about it beating a non-turbo r32 Skyline and a few people can back him up on that too! that car has only been beaten in one race so far and that was against a worked V8 ute so it may be true but personally can't see it if its a standard SV21 with a fair bit of engine wear though unless as I said before the driver of the skyline can't drive! (faster car doesn't mean nothing if the person is a hopeless driver)

How good is an R33 turbo, anyway?
Any ideas what one would run down the 1/4?

I kept up with a VT Commodore V6 auto in my SV21 the other day the Camry had 2 other passengers and with the air-con going I though that was cool, the funny thing was next day I seen the same car with the driver revving his motor next to a Suzuki Swift (not a GT) wanting to race it what a tool! . would of been funny if the old matey driving the swift gave it a bootfull and flogged it! I don't care what anyone says. It's one thing to own a fast car but it's another to drive it!

Yeah i got an auto sv21 and i would dobut its ability to beat an r33 gts-t or even a commodore better than VL. If the skyline was an auto gts, the camry was a manual v6 then it could happen, also the possibility of a 3sge/gte swap is there aswell.

vn commies are the fastest stocko ones (exec only) they have 125-130kw but are a lot lighter...
stocko R33 Gts-t's can pull a high 13...but mostly mid to high 14's...

I had a man Camry, and I could only beat a CA18 S13 Silvia, VL na...and that was pretty much it.
Just made sure oil was topped up and the thing would take me anywhere I wanted to go without fail.

changing at 4,500 rpm and quickly, had to back off at 90km/h though as I was running out of road but as I said if it was a manual he would of beat me it also depends on the driver as well oh and the commy was a V6 N/A no supercharger on it but it fucking shocked me

exactly right what is it with tools saying that Camry's are slow?and yet will hop in a naturally aspirated VL and say they are quick? hate to tell yous this but just because a car seems quicker on paper doesn't necessarily mean it will be quicker anyone stupid enough to believe that has to realize that there are many factors involving cars performance? think before you go commenting on which car is faster? anyone who is stupid enough to believe that a car is quicker has to think about
1 Conditions
2 Condition of vehicle
3 DRIVER (I wrote that in big writing because it explains allot)
just a few factors but there are more
you might not believe me about my Camry but it has HAPPENED! I have 2 witnesses at the time who WERE with me at the time! Camry's are not slow with a manual. a manual VT is quicker but auto versions are dooey of the mark( I might further add that the VT series 1 weighs more then a series 2 I can Comment as I have driven quiet a few V6 Commodores now and personally think they are slower then what people think especially with an auto(manuals are quicker though if you want a quick Commy V6 get one with an manual or the Supercharged versions) perhaps drive the car first before commenting? I personally believe the N/A V6 Commodore is slower then a straight 6-cyl Falcon that will flog one any day but opinions are like arseholes everyone has one most pepole who say Camry's are slow have never driven one.But can not see it beating a r33 though

Of course the ford six is faster it is 4.0l and produces far more power and torque even before the twin cam head was added. Commodore V6 =152kw from vx onwards 305nm torque, Ford six = 157-164 kw with 366 nm of torque. This is before the BA when both vehicles wayed about the same ford less cos it only had live rear axle.

Fords do have more weight now but previuos models like the Au were lighter then the VT. Currently The BA weighs 1672kg versus about 1550kg for basic V6 commo. This is all relative though as has 182Kw versus 152kw. Once VZ comes out however SV6= 1592kg and 190 KW and therefore will kick the fors arse. In early testing it has done 0-100 in 6.95 secs.
The ford is in the high sevens.

i ran a r33, big fmic,exhaust etc. in my 3sgte st162 and beat him by about 2.5-3 cars and i was pulling on him. i think his car hit the speed limiter (180kmh)coz i really started gaining on him after 170+. havn't run a 1/4 on my car yet, but with a g-tech i should be able to pull a high 14.
