a) kirk had turbo mk3 supra. now owns mk4 non turbo correct?
b) non turbos still ran pretty good, they still came with ~230hp? i dont know those numbers but they are on par with an n/a 300zx i would think some where in the low to mid 200s.

c)i love a correctly modified camry, but just because one camry runs a 14.3 doesnt mean with even the exact same setup that you will. you have the best chance to be at that point if you have an automatic and the person who ran the 14.3 did, but even with auto or 5 speed, you have to account for track conditions, weather conditions, DRIVER skill, tires, launching technique. so if/when you turbocharge your 5s-fe camry, do not be disappointed if you do not do as well. if you do better than 14.3, then that would be awesome. but do like i do and set goals lower, like for example shoot for 14.9 or 14.8 and try to be realistic and then after you make a few passes and get the launching and etc down, you will either not be as disappointed, or you will do better than the goal you set. if you do 14.5, it might be not as good as the 14.3 if you shoot for that but if you shoot for 14.8 and do 14.5, you will be happier in the end.

and i have yet to see any 5s-fe camry track times, EVER. i have seen 3s-gte, and i have seen 5s-fe dynos, and one 5s-fe turbo mr2 times. but i have been out of the camry world for about 2 years now.
