Almost beaten to the next light by a V6 Camry. Time to upgrade my v8 manual Mustang...

They’re quick. Even the 4 cylinders ones will move a little.

Can confirm, my Solara is basically a V6 Camry, it will move. I can also confirm that running my Dunlop Direzza DZ102's a Solara is faster than an 04 mustang GT in the twisties.

Mustang GT: 420hp, 390tq, 3500lbs., 4.3 second zero to sixty, 12.7 second 1/4 mile.
Camry XSE V6: 268hp, 248tq, 3500lbs., 6.1 second zero to sixty, 14.5 second 1/4 mile.
The Mustang reaches peak torque and peak horsepower lower in the powerband than the Camry.
My bet is that he was full-throttle and you weren’t?

True. In the real world, though, you can probably tack on a third of a second or so for both cars.

How “almost beaten” are we talking here? My truck has 1.5 seconds 0-60 on the last gen V6 Escape and the 2nd gen Escalade... both surprised me. Granted I wasn’t floored immediately because I wasn’t expecting a fight, but still... both ended up with just enough space that I knew I could get in front safely. ~2 carlengths maybe.
A second in 0-60 isn’t a lot of distance... and everything is getting ridiculously quick these days.

In distance... that 0-60 gap isn’t a ton. You would rarely hit a proper 1/4 mile run on the street.

Exactly. He slammed the gas at the green light to show off.

Yeah, it was similar to your experience. I didn’t know he was going for it until he did. He didn’t win (and CERTAINLY never would have if we had both floored it), but I made this post simply to comment on how surprising a boring Camry was to me.
Opponauts may have to find a new standard-bearer for Beige/Boring.
