Ok soon I am getting my D.I. (Summer 06)soon. Anyway on Toyota's website in the Camry section there is a Camry Discovery Center. Once you are there you can browse around. But there a a place on there that my buddy found (which is the Performance section) where you can try to the the 6-speed auto. to shift to get to 60 in 6.5 sec. Everyone (even my mother and father) has tried but the best so far is 8.8 sec. Advice on shifting a semiauto? It tells when to shift. Only downside: no downshifts you have to shift thourgh all 6 gears. Wish there was a way to link to it but I have no clue just go to Toyota's website and it should have the Camry sec. up already. BTW everyone has tried everything they knew about shifting (i.e. playing fast music (lol thats not me) etc.)

Click at 4500 RPM or hold the botton down and unclick at 5000 and you get 6.7 secs.

Sure, I did it about 5 times. But I still can't hit 6.5.
