Numbers may not be on, but if you stomp on the gas in a Camry going 20mph in second gear it will not rev even close to that fast.

Here are the '09 Camry ratios:

His "benefit of the doubt" comment on gear ratios is what really hurt my head. That's like saying the color yellow is mean, but not as mean as eggs, benefit of the doubt. WTF? :lol:

I think you could simulate it. Like when you keep the gas down juuuuust enough so that you can feel the trans right in the middle of whether it wants to shift down or remain in gear and you lightly feather the throttle to keep it there..... then right as it down shifts you floor it! 20mph in first going up hill I bet you could get it to rev high. I think if you summed the ratio of the quadratic angle of the relative flux capacitor to the negative terminal of the wabulator valve on Tuesdays after 5pm, you could make it work. But only with eggs.

Rev high, sure. But not that fast. We are talking delta, not peak.

I was just reading on another forum that its all a conspiracy by the US government to make people by American cars since they invested alot of money into them.

haha I chuckled

Yeah. I saw alot of that too.

I wish this had a facebook-style like button. One that I could click many many times.

You can give it 5 stars?

Totally forgot about that! Done!

The pile keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Love it!

Nick it looks like you could use some more practice in mspaint

Wanna hook me up with a clearer one? :-P

right now if I owned anything toyota has made in the past decade I would be scared to drive. I wonder how insurance companies are going to evaluate quotes on toyotas from now on?

Unless I totally missed this in ANY thread, WHAT ever happened to putting the car in neutral and turning the KEY or BUTTON to OFF. I tried this with my wife's Grand Prix going about 40 mph and when I turned the key off, the entire car shut down. Even the cop had to shout out to the owner of the PREIUS to do this to his car and it did shut it down and the cop car was in front of it to make sure is came to a complete stop. :shock:

Investigate!

Let the lawsuits begin

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100312/us_nm/us_toyota

there are already multiple class action suits including California, NY, NJ, FL, and TX. I read some of the complaints for fun and it looks like they are pretty intense.

Also, the whistleblower lawyer has been around for a while now. He revealed alot of documents about other safety deficiencies like the 4Runner roof. Its gonna be interesting to see how this affects other automakers. Oh, and the lawyer is suiing Toyota himself.

SNL did a funny skit with Toyota....
