Opinions on Camry I spotted earlier today...

[needfordspeed]

Yeah I reckon it's time to close it :P

[LuvinmyEB]

No!
I haven't put my 2c worth in yet.

Opinion: :

Ok, I'm done, you may now close the thread, however I will warn you that there are some more pics coming of a car that gives ricers a bad name! : : :

[LuvinmyEB]

Sorry about the quality, they were taken with a camera phone in poor lighting.
Actually I'll also apologise for scarring you all for life ahead of time.


Oh yeah, very sexy... :sm_drool:

err.. lost for words...

Do I have to face it? I'd rather turn away!!

The gold foot wells and very sexy on every seat just well, just made me start dry wretching.

I will not be held responsible for nightmares, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or any other illness or psychological problems after viewing these pics. YOU chose to look at them!

I want my 5 seconds back!!!!

its an 88-92 shape the camry in that style wasnt out in 85.

hmmm bagging camry's esp the new ones, i guess when ford get their act together and starts copying the build quality of these cars they might learn a few things. a manual V6 sportivo tramps a BA XR6 manual 0-100 and the XR just manages to pip it for the qtr run so they arnt exactly slow even with just 145kw vs 182.

Well, i was feeling a bit down on saturday after heathcote got called off - until i saw a similar camry DRIFTING around a corner, with the driver laughing his *** off. Tru drivers car that one.

You couldn't be more wrong. The Camry Sportivo V6 is an absolute slug. Can barely crack mid 16's on the strip. XT's are running mid 15's. Go and recheck your figures. The supercharged Camry show car could barely even match the XR6's times.

Why was this posted? Are u thinking of buying it as a runabout or what?

I know someone who has one of those model camrys (owned it since new) and he says that nothing has ever gone wrong with it. He services it himself at home (including timing belt) and 300,000k later it runs like brand new. Pretty good cars Camrys, and I love the new ones. However Camry drivers always seem to **** me off :S

No, was just curious what other people thought of it, not just the wheels and rims, but that model camry itself. My brother used to have one just like it (well, asides from the rims and spoiler) and it gave him nothing but trouble (blowing heaps of smoke, ignition being very dodgy, heaps of other things) until he failed to stop in time and wrote it off by slamming into the back of another car.

So I was curious to see what other peoples thoughts and experiences are/were with that particular model, as well as thoughts on that particular example, which I must admit, I think looks silly with the spoiler and those wheels...

I might have to change young un's avatar to the image of that camry.
