And then you realized, it was slow as piss, when some guy can get some piece of **** 4th Gen Auto F-body, throw an intake/exhaust/stall on it and decent drag radials, and hey - welcome to mid-11's! Faster than BOTH of the car's we're discussing for a fraction of the price and half the horsepower.

'Nuff said.
I didn't know Camry's could run that fast. My cousin hasn't even broke into the 13's yet with his 350Z

I'm hoping to finally break into the 12's again with these new tires. Just waiting for a Friday night with decent temps now.
