Because 99% of the Camry’s on the road are 2.5 models. Until they get smoked by one of the rare V6 models or get to drive one, their opinion won’t change. But the chances of them getting smoked by a V6 is even more rare, because one of them belonged to my 70 year old aunt who bought a brand new 2017 V6 and never revved it higher than 3,000 RPM except one time I asked her to gas it, and she allowed it to get all the way up to 4,000 rpm lol So basically, even if someone has a V6 Camry, the chance of you seeing them really gas it is slim to none, as I have NEVER seen a V6 Camry running harder than myself and I drive a 2013+ V6 Avalon

Yeah, we didn't get it up too high mileage wise, but from 0 to 75,000 miles, it was problem free. Im sure it will continue to be reliable for the next owner.
You aint wrong, i refuse to sell my 07 camry v6. Used to be my daily for 6 years and i kicked the shit out of it almost every day just not in a bad way with basically no issues ever. I have an 18 gti now which is ofc faster especially with my Cobb tune but the camry would make so many jaws drop considering it would beat most cars that tried me and it was easily over 200 over the years lol. Such good times.
With some mild intake and Y-pipe mods to exhaust, that wakes it up really quickly. +30-40WHP. 0-60 drops into the 5s, and it just keeps pulling. A REAL sleeper indeed. Manual swap it and you can safely rev it to 8500 rpms with double valve springs. Big power.
I didn’t beat a Challenger 5.7 in my 2015 V6 Avalon, but I sure surprised him when I stayed right beside him at 120mph. Had my fiancé and the set of water bottles not been in the car, who knows what might’ve happened 😈
This gear ratio is perfect for engines that have a good powerband, in contrast to Nissan's 7-speed transmission where gear 4 really damages the powerband and kills acceleration time because the ratio is too far
@anthonycarreviews1528 Yes dealer bought it back. Got it pre covid so made a decent profit. Not too often you can make money on a car so couldn't pass it up. Plus I just wasn't in love with it. Went back to honda

Those also have the styling and the speed... @@bonlob23 or you could get the 2GRFE turbo kit and shell out 10gs which would probably be around the price If they made a turbo camryv6. The 2GRFE can handle over 400hp (reading some forums apparently 430hp on the track for several hours). Problem is I think that would kill the Toyota reliability. Apparently thing blows up after 460, requiring forged internals which means that 500hp camry would probably be like $60-$70k. Not a fcking clue about the transmission either, but it probably would need a little beefing up along with axels. Not worth
The Camry is light. Mine was a slug until I caught up with the service maintenance. It really woke up. Then the light mods started. 0-60 in the 5s now. Stock looking outside. Sounds stock too.
I’m assuming you must own a MKZ…? If so…. I don’t see how it would be possible for ANY Camry V6 to keep up with the 350HP FWD or the 400HP MKZ after 100 MPH. Every Lincoln transmission I’ve ever seen takes WAY too long to shift, so maybe the right gearing hampers acceleration, but once you hit 5th gear, that Lincoln will slide away with ease ESPECIALLY if you’re using 93 octane
Toyota was stingy with the V6 model Camrys, Ive been sifting through an ocean of 2.5 Camrys trying to find a clean used v6 under 100k miles, and the ones I have found online are usually already sold before they even take the advertisement down, it’s so aggravating why they didn’t build half of them with the v6 and half with the 4 cylinders versus 3/4 of them 4 cylinders and 1/4 of them with the v6. All mid size sedans should be V6 in my opinion.
These years are very quick. Unfortunately the front drive configuration hurts it because you just lose traction if you floor it from a stop. I have a 2015 V6 and I don't like to floor it at lights because squealing one's tires is stupid. However it's very fun to smash it from 40-90mph it has lots of pull in 2nd and 3rd gears. The 6 speed transmission is geared very well for highway pulls, haven't drive the 2018+ but if it's anything like the Lexus equivalents the 8 speed neuters the acceleration pretty badly.
It was a surprisingly quick car. I agree with everything you said. I much preferred the accord we had overall, but the camrys powertrain was very refined and powerful. Cant knock it in that regard.
@@jxmar_ wasn't my van it belonged to an air conditioner company that I worked for at the time but yeah I used to smoke everybody at the Red light every time lots of torque. Why can't they make them like that anymore.

I think some bri'ish lads already thought about that
That 1st to 2nd could be alot tighter kinda lose powerband after that 1st gear shift
That 1-2 shift does help it grab traction, but yeah, definitely. The drop in power is noticeable behind the wheel.
I think just giving 1st gear another 5-10 mph would've been perfect.
Once it gets into higher RPMs 😮
