i've got a supercharged v6 camry. basically same as that solara. check out www.solaraguy.com to see some impressive mods to the car. With the s/c and V6 it gives GREAT TQ down low. I use my camry as a DD and get most of my power around 2k and car never really goes above 3k and allready you'll be passing traffic with ease. 7k is a lot, i've seen them go around 5-6k on the solaraguy forum.

^Thanks for the input Castro. Yeah lately I've been researching that site. It's got some great info and you're right, those cars usually do go for a little cheaper that's why I pretty much told myself that there's no way I would pay full price for that thing.

I was going to buy it for a daily driver. It's between this and a 7th gen 4cyl Accord. I would get the V6 7th gen accord with the 6mt but I've heard awful things about the trannies.

Bigsley- I'm glad you chimed in here. How was the car around town? A pretty fun car you think? I'm not really looking for something with great handling, just a lot of low end torque to bop around town in and commute to work.

i would also suggest www.solaraguy.com as one member mentioned. that site should give you all the info you need. good luck.
