What does a stock ES300 run in the 1/4 mile? Speed and time!

 

Post in the "ES FORUM" ....

 

14.5 sec 1/4 mile

 

It's more like 15.5 sec. 1/4 mile!!!!!!

 

92-93 stock ES ran 16.1 1/4 mile -- i have my original brochure. The best time ive gotten out of my 92 es when it was stock was 16.3, but i have a 5speed -- the autos launch much better.

 

Why do the autos launch better?

 

The ES wasnt really designed to do super launches in the 5 speed version. I did get a racing clutch that made some difference, but not a huge one as far as launching goes. Also, the auto has less gears. For example, a stock supra auto will beat the stock 6 speed manual.

 

Really, I always thought that a stick is always faster because you can change the shift points and RPM your self. Maybe it is diffrent on our Toyota based cars

Perez,

Thanks for the link. Lots of good info

 

Uhh...that's not very credible info. I doubt an ES300 can even hit low 15s unless it had alot of mods. The ES300 is heavier than it's Camry counterpart. The fastest stock Camry I know of with only an intake as a mod...and a very good driver with a 99 LE 1MZ-FE V6 5spd is 14.7 in the quarter mile. 14.5 is bull**** sorry to say. Most magazines can only get the ES to do low 16s...but 14.5...maybe with NOS.
