Sounds more like she's never driven a manual before...or only a manual with 2 working cylinders that needs to be wound up like crazy to keep from stalling

he says he doesn't have a clutch. I'm assuming his on an automatic.

i can relate to your mom.

my tc was in the repair shop for about 1 1/2 month do to my accident. for those 6 weeks i was stuck driving my dads 1991 toyota pickup truck. ..so the day i went to pick up my tc from the bodyshop..i pulled out of the parking lot and accidently revved the car really high and the next thing i know i was going 65mph. The car felt soooo fast, even though it was just stock. So it all depends on what you had been used to driving prior to driving the tc.

I got that to, an F/I Automatic? I think there is something wrong with your Mom if she can not drive an auto tC!

Well the difference is that a Camry is a much smoother drive. There's a reason I hate driving them or an ES for that matter. You really have to rev the engine to get power. The tC drives more like a Honda does...much sportier. I felt like my old '92 accord had more power at the lower rpms than my parent's ES.

Your mom is probably used to a decent power how ever far she's used to pushing the accelerator. With the tC, that same point of power is much sooner.

amen to that man. driving my old car (barely working 1996 dodge avenger) then to the tC, the diffrence is like night and day. the tC was soo much more powerful and responsive :D

and i also feel you too tongman, my mom said the same thing when she borrowed my car and she couldnt figure out how to turn down my sound system (i kept the radio closed, and this is before i rewired my steering wheel remote).

"YOUR CAR IS UGLY, YOUR SOUND IS TOO MUCH FOR YOUR CAR!!"
"thanks mom" :D

and she too is a part of the Moms that Drive Camrys Club. lol

all depends on what your used too...until last year i never drove a car with more than 180hp, till i drove a srt4....it will feel faster than it is until your used too it...end of story
