Where is the time slip cuz the #'s that the factory give out are with pro drivers and perfect track conitions so they are worthless

Sorry to tell you, but on the road, the car will NOT hit 260kph. In your test, there are 2 CRITICAL things missing:

1: Air resistance
2: Rolling resistance.

You CAN peg the speedo, but you will NOT hit 260kph in your car stock.

This is a '96 with engine mods and it looks slow as hell compared to your car.

You are right but I wasn't trying to prove that in any way.I am absolutely positively certain that my car won't hit 260, i will be amazed even if that thing will hit maybe 180 kph on the road.
Nice video, keeping the camcorder rolling at that speed on the road is crazier than me on the hoist.

Sorry I missed the d in conditions, cuz = a shorten word for because ,#'s = numbers , time slip = the slip they give u at the track for the time you ran and the trap speed you went. I don't know how else to explain the the rest it is pretty self explanatory. I'm try to fight with you just giving you some knowledge.

Ya I text a lot and you can only put 160 letters so you have to shorten things and sometimes it slip out in to regular typing so its not me being lazy. Far as the last thing sounds good to me just please becareful with your car we don't need another one in the junkyard. lol

Your car will do WAY past 180kph stock. I have friends that HAVE pegged the needle on a stock 1MZ Auto 94 Camry (Same car pretty much). The entire issue without cars is Weight that slows it down.

The ES300 and Camry are just deathly slow, I don't understand why anyone would even think about going that fast in this thing.
