There's been this rumor that redline on the 2007 tC will be higher. Has anyone actually confirmed this? The new 2007 Camry still has a 6200rpm redline, but the limiter doesn't kick in until 6500. As far as I can tell, the redline on the 06 tC kicks in at about 6350. Is the only change coming up a bump in the limiter, or what?

Also, has anyone heard whether it would be possible to reflash the 05 and 06 tCs to get the higher redline, or is something else different in the motor?

 

it is a fact that the manifold will be a little different.. the exhaust manifold, not intake

and some say that the horsepower will increase to 200hp at the crank..N/A

 

Interesting bump.....

 

It is supposed to be slightly different, but I VERY highly doubt that much of a HP change. Even if the Camry goes up to that for it's base level, I don't see the tC going that high without a significant price increase.

 

and you got your info from,who?????

 

Ooohhhh, I would like an ECU reflash that would raise the redline.

 

yikes, our dealer sponsor told us the tC was being rated at +1hp and thats about it. Don't think you guys got good info

 

That sounds like it would be more accurate.

 

plus 'minor stylistic changes'. I mean, a complete redesign ain't happening this year ;)

 

I heard they come with jet engines

 

rofl

 

The xAs and xBs will be steam powered. It's the new thing... saves on gas and all...

 

Actually turbine engines almost made it to production -- Iococca at Chrysler killed the project after similar baffling moves in the 70's at GM.

 

They should try turbo deisel

 

So much for a SC if there coming out with 200hp NA tC. Might as well trade in. I'd like to know where this info was found as well.

 

Like someone else already said, I would highly doubt they would up the power to 200hp without a significant increase in MSRP.

 

i say its going to be the same

 

Nah, gimme a rotary engine in my tC and I will be very happy.

 

Why do you say that?

edit. oh nm saw "Mazda RX-7" in sig

 

Turbine Hybrids are being researched for luxury cars. W/o having to dampen an engines wobble, engineers can put those resources to other ideas, and have the smoothest quietest production car ever made.
