ive brought my corolla to 160, but i wasnt really racing, since the M4 is pretty long.

although im sure with the length of my overdrive it could clock 200 while the engine is still purring.

i think you also need gloves, or at least some other venue requires you to have gloves as well.

Good luck reaching 160km/h in a stocker, let alone 180.

180km/h is 111mp/h, which is enough trap speed to put you easily into the 12's. In other words, its fucking fast for the street- you'd be beating HSV's, Porsche Boxters, even some Ferarris.

A Camry will not do this.

I dont know to be honest, it says 'Four Cam' on the engine somewhere, its a 93 model, a review said the Vientas have quad cam as well.....

Why do you wanna know anyway?
The v6 Quad cam has around 137 Kw's on that car..
It's up there with the holdens and fords

Are you talking about cars in general, or for a quarter mile or something?

I drove stock and have reached 180 easily....?

Yeah I dunno m8

Like I said previously, it gets to 100 in 9 secs, and takes 16 secs to do 400m, so their is only 7 seconds to do 100 more km/h which will no doubt take longer than the first 100? These are all according to the NRMA site, and I must admit I think its quicker than 9 secs to 100. Only one way to find out I spose!

180km/h is 111mp/h, which is enough trap speed to put you easily into the 12's
You mean enough speed to do the quarter mile in 12 secs right? Well not really, its all about acceleration, we are talking about max speed here, it wont get to 180km/h till late..... Im guesing it will take its time from 150km/h - 180km/h... although its sketchy because Ive driven max speed so far to 140km/h and it still wants to go alot more quite easily.....
