And how many fast accords do you see? Not many.

Atleast the civic has potential.

7th gen V6 Accords would qualify as pretty fast I think...and with great potential...

My opinion is that modifying a 1997 V6 Camry is a waste of money. Save it up for a new car or wide screen TV's. I'm not hating, but that's my opinion. The Camry is an old people's car from the factory. You'll never make it look good, but you can make it fast and handle well if you're willing to spend thousands...and I don't see why you'd want to do that to a 7 year old Camry.

=/ on the Se-R heavy car that was supposed to be a lot more impressive than it is. Not bad for an off the lot car but I can think of better cars to mod for less money.

Is she trying to go show or go with her car?

camrys can be made to look nice, guys. they make a factory lip kit from toyo, which looks nice, and there is a plethora of body kits out there for it. yes, there is the trd sc, trd suspension too. 1.5~2" drop with some 17's looks great on it. There's one at school with some bronze rims and a conservative drop, and it looks nice.

jeez, this guy just asked a question. no need to act like asses

The SE-R sucks IMO...the interior is God-awful and the engine is taken from the small truck line. If you're in the under $20,000 range, get a Focus SVT(out of production for 2004), Civic Si or Tiburon GT V6 6-Speed. Or something used.

so because our opinion differs from yours, we're not allowed to say it?


Even resorting to editing my post, gimme a fucking break.

Ah, with an intake and premium fuel it has around 265 or so horsepower. Bolt on the Comptech supercharger and exhaust that will be coming out soon and you're looking at over 300 horses easily. Naturally the weight is an enemy of any type of performance, but not all of us want to drive around in 2100 pound Civics with no backseats :dunno:
