^hmm it doesn't really say it's stock in that video, and you can't see the speedo clearly,
^^ the thing about edmund's time is that they have professional measuring gear, whereas this guy and the guy on youtube just judge using their cameras and car speedo, so there is much more inaccuracy, which is why you'll see times generally slower on edmund's than youtube. especially with the self proclaimed "stock" cars
But I bet that with a better transmission that camry can definitely do under 6 considering the power:weight, but the video clearly shows how slushy the gearbox is, and do these cars typically start in second?

As far as I remember, all V6 Camry's came with the 6sp auto. Unless he did a neutral drop, I don't see how he got such a big improvement.
Youtube shows a bunch of video's where people got the car down to a 6.1 second 0-60 mph. Hmmmm.... | i am not sure. but google search does return the number around 6 seconds. some a little faster, some a little slower. but it's always like that for every cars I believe.

^check what the times are from all the car magazines, they've got better speed sensing technology,
Amateurs on cardomain will probably be using a stopwatch, or better ones maybe dynolicous or a g-tech, but most likely camry drivers don't have the same technology as the professionals, or if they do it's most likely a car enthusiast who has put mods on the car. But with a set of sportier tires, camry will do 6 no problem

people with EG EK and those stuff and think they are fast are silly.

It's funny how you bring that link up when I just wrote an in-class summary the other day on "Information Overload." It was about how this society has too much information, and anyone can prove his/her opinion right by just digging through mountains of unproven facts. In other words, you'll always find a source that agrees with your opinion, no matter how wrong you are.

0-60 isnt important for daily driving unless ur always pulled over on the freeway...for daily driving gas mileage is important so i guess camry wins lol...but also which is faster in 40-70 mph...thats daily driving on the freeway

Car that's not capable of handling a turn on a track is considered "SPORTY" because of it's 0-60 times?!?!!?
So wait, based on asianXL's comments, a dodge ram and rolls royce phantom are sportier cars than an RX8???

They're the exact same car, it's not worth that much trouble. 3000GTs imported from the states are much cheaper and plentiful than Canadian Stealths anyway.
He would have had to change the headlights/tail lights, turn signals, sail panels, bumpers, door caps, and side skirts.
