newer camrys run mid 14's stock. Don't think there's much of an aftermarket for them so that's probably all they run. Still pretty impressive for a 3.5 V6 family car.

Ok, so I did reply to this thread in a sarcastic manner earlier, but heres what happened to me last night. I pulled up next a 09 ram 1500, 4X4, with the big horn package and a hemi. I just have 1 2010 St 4X4 with the 4.7. We revved engines a tad and ran all out to the next light. I actually used the eco mode and shifted with the +/- buttons. I smoked him.

We chatted a brief minute at the next light and said I must of had a hemi and de--badged it. Ya, my steel wheels didn't clue him in to it being a basic truck? When I told him what I did he agreed, its the driver to a good extent. My apologies.

what was his rear end gears and what are your rear end gears. If he had the 3.21 and you have the 3.92 then its not really much of a comparison.

I haven't responded to this thread in a while but I am glad to see that other people are getting similar results with there trucks. I do agree that street racing is a bad idea but we all do it. So mark another one up for the 4.7. I imagine the Hemi guys will be all over this ripping it apart and dis-crediting it just like they did mine but hey we know what really happened and that is all that matters to me. Thanks for the response. Flame away I already see it coming!!!!!

I'm guessing you have 17s and he had 20s too, right? That makes that gearing advantage even more pronounced. And they wheels themselves are over 10 pounds lighter each, and that's rotational weight.

The 4.7s are rated at 310 hp, so they aren't exactly slouches either....combine that with "anything can happen on the street"
