Not sure how old the list is, but there are a few cars it would be embarrassing to lose to here: 0 to 60 mph in less than 6 seconds - Car List

I find it hard to believe that someone on this forum posted that. The only major advantage to the Camry is it has a real back seat. A disadvantage I'm willing to put up with for all the fun I get from the Jag.

There is now a CAMRY that can smoke you from 0-60 and probably even in the quarter mile.

I think that we can still get a CAMRY in top end.

All this talk about red light racing and 0-60 times is why I have my Kawasaki z1000... 0-60 in 2.9 sec and 1/4 mile in 10.7 sec. It used to be that NOTHING could beat me but now it can get close sometimes, but I can still take 99% of the cars out there (the Porsche Turbo S and the 2013 GTR will definitely give me a run for my money off the line).
