this whole thing is way to funny lol.. you should have just gotten the new 2012 camry, that way you could pick it out in the parking lot.. well at least for a few months until everyone has the new one..
You guys are getting me all wrong I loved my LS it was just too much money to fix. And for all of you people that think the LS is faster race a V6 camry and then talk and not an old one. You people are taking this way to seriously anyways. And for merk1n I had a 02 v8 with CAI and exhaust. Fast but not great. And yes I did all the maintenance on it plus more I take car of my cars.
Don't believe everything you read on the internet or see on TV.
You should have just said in your first post that you couldn't keep up with the LS and moved on to something else. Just because you have something newer/less miles, which translates to tighter suspension, doesn't mean it handles better than the LS.
Instead, you say it looks better and handles better than the LS..... really??
What's next.... Camry gets better laptimes at Nurburgring then a E60 bmw???
Just admit you were wrong and i am sure the respectful fellow LS owners would stop bashing your new ride.
Even if the horsepower is up there, doesn't mean it's faster.
Gearing has a lot to do with it and i am sure the 3.58s in the Gen ii would leave the Camry behind.....easily.

Check out the numbers online. Stock LS gen 1 7.1sec 0-60 stock gen 2 6.5 0-60sec. camry stock 6.1 0-60sec. If I were to put mods on it would definitly be faster then a LS. And yes I know there are a lot out there you are not the first one to point that out. I even said that on the first post. Get over it. As for customizing the car I'm over it just going to put rims on it and thats all I want.
Good car. My girl has a 97 Lexus ES300 with 212000 miles and it still drives like new pretty much. Great, comfy and economical ride.
:lol: This thread cracks me up. It's like in a gang, if you want to leave you have to be, I think they call it, "jumped-out" by getting your ass kicked.
But he stepped and didnt get a jap pos. Also he wasnt an ass about it.
What do you have against Japanase cars? I would buy a Lexus IS as my next car.

+1. I mean, how many sedans can you hop into with 500hp that give you a massage as your leaving a terminator in the rearview.

Indeed a funny thread, but I don't think he is getting flamed for leaving the LS. He is getting flamed for his better than you tone he used in his OP. And beings that going from a Lincoln to a Camry is far from an upgrade it just adds that much more fuel for the flame.:lol: This thread cracks me up.

A simple post of "hey bought a new car" wouldn't have caused this. So flame on! lol
