Im getting beat by alot of Jap. cars at stop lights too. The old Asian lady in a Toyota Avalon hurt the most though.....I dont know is it worth to mod. it or just pay it of and trade it for the V8 and than with some mild bolt ons have some deacent power... The 4.0 is a good engine but getting beat by -family- sedans is not what I had pictured getting a V6 Mustang....well at least my car LOOKS a 10000 times better...

A stock camry puts out more power.. but it's barely a couple tenths faster. Stock for stock, it's probably a driver's race.

Now.. why a blown V6 could barely edge out a intake/tune/exhaust camry... I'm a little worried. [>:]

Also reading the new Muscle Mustangs mag they did a feature on the 4.0 Pony Pcks. and a stock one Dyno'd pulled out something 183HP and 198Lbs of Trq. so those are the real world numbers. dont know what the camry would actually pull....

Those sound like rwhp and rwtq, not fly wheel ratings.
