About LinkBacksDriving into work this morning on the highway a Toyota Camry XLE came up on me very fast and started tailgating. I was in the left lane behind traffic so I had no place to go. I hate it when people do that.
The guy stayed behind me and when the traffic was clear I went for it. He kept right on me. Traffic kept stopping us and then it was clear again. This happened a few times. Finally he passed me on the right. I had it to the floor and was going fast but he still passed and kept going. I could not keep up.
The Toyota (I'm guessing) had a 3.5-liter V6 (268 hp, 248 lb-ft). I saw dual pipes. It was probably stock.
This sucks. He probably thought he was beating a Hemi. Just wait until he comes up against an R/T or an SRT-8.
I've never seen this guy before on the highway. I hope to never again.

Hey man, chin up. He'll get his when he hits a bigger motor. You can't win 'em all. Take comfort in the fact that you're not the sap driving a Camry :-)

If it will make you feel better, I smoked one of those last month and within a day a V6 Accord. They both came after me. Now I want to find one to stomp with my Ram. From a roll my Ram is as quick as my RT, it just takes 2.3 sec to go 60 feet , kinda like launching a battleship, a battleship with nitrous, that is.

from what I gather it uses the same 2.5L gas motor that the base edition does, and you can mod the hell out of that 4-banger...
coupled with 100% torque across the power band for the electric motor and it's a monster, and light only around 3400 lbs..
stock it ain't $hit, 0-60 in 8 seconds, but you can mod the gas motor as it is the same base motor as I stated... there are a lot of parts, turbos, tuners etc for it....
