Does that make them race cars? No, but we are going to race them anyway. Things don't always go as predicted, and a surprise competitor appears as well. Watch to find out. Subscribe!

It’s sad that Toyota turned the TRD badge into little more than an aesthetic body kit. I love the looks of the Camry TRD, but it really should have a manual option and a slightly upgraded V6 VVTi engine to match Honda's VTEC engine (even if it only gives 5, 10, or 15 extra hp).

@@GuerrillaGorilla023 the auto rev match in the FK8 only engages if your down shifting. Also I don’t think there’s really a need to blip the throttle unless like you had said “granny shifting” I might be wrong on the second part, but I do know that the auto rev match system doesn’t help you while your up shifting. Edit: you could rev while upshifting now that I think about it because I’ve used the flat foot shifting technique before and I guess that’s similar to blipping the throttle

The fact the Type R is lighter and has 54 hp and 22 TQ more than the accord is all you need to know as to how impressive the Accord 2.0T is.

I´d love to a sporty Accord someday. Just a very capable allrounder.

[@DzuhLRenu]

Could be possible with the TLX Type S coming out they might as well just make an Accord Type R lol

[@ultraguy8771]

They did make an Accord Type R for the Japanese and European markets back in the early 2000s.

Would it be safe to say the Accord is cheaper to insure over the Type R?

[@StandingUpForBetter]

Great comparison. No real surprise to anyone, Type R won. That thing is a track weapon that just happens to have four doors and a usable trunk. Funny to think people would cross shop a Type R and a Camry but we did. We wanted something fun to drive, practical and reliable. Before we got our Type R, with money in hand, our short list was the the Hyundai Veloster N, the Honda Civic Type R and the Toyota Camry TRD. The Hyundai with its 100,000 mile warranty was not available in the color we wanted and the Camry was a little too big for our garage AND it did not come in a manual. Not having the Camry TRD with a manual option is a big missed opportunity for Toyota. Sure you might loose some seconds in a drag race but for driving enthusiasts it is also about the thrill of the drive and rowing your own gears give you that. We were able to find a new Type R at MSRP within our hemisphere and snatched it up. Oh well, turns out we ended up with the fastest car and the most fun car to drive but when you factor in the savings by a few thousand with the other cars, that choice is not always so clear cut in the beginning. Again, well done.

[@judethree4405]

Lose seconds? I’ve always been faster with manual transmission.

[@dovahkiin3216]

Yeah Verses old automatic but the matte of facts is that manual are going away because automatic transmission have gotten so quick that even a professional race car drive wouldn’t be able to row thru the gears quick enough as today’s dual clutch autos

[@Eric-qx7fg]

Why was the Subaru wrx STI not on that list? It fits the description you’re looking for and the interior is roomy as hell lol.

[@StandingUpForBetter]

@@Eric-qx7fg I was a little weary of that all wheel drive system. I don't live in a place where I need it and I did not know how reliable they were. How is the reliability of a Subaru WRX STI? I absolutely love the S209 even though the price is a little up there.

[@StandingUpForBetter]

@@judethree4405 You might actually be right with this automatic in the Camry because I hear a lot of power is lost in this torque converter.

I have raced a type r and I’ve notice if you do a boosted 2nd gear launch it is easy to have “launch control” but doesn’t spill the wheels.

same engine as the Type R, just different turbo. You could do a Type R turbo swap in an Accord. Or just tune the Accord 2.0t and gain an extra 40hp or so

Yooo you gotta use the accord sport 2.0t it’s lighter then the touring it would have been even closer! But also you gotta look at the new 2021 accord sport they apparently recalibrated the throttle response for a better launch. Overall this still fulfilled what I been waiting for out of a KZbin video
