In the straight, the four-cylinder engine's 178 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque helped it get just over 50 mph before hard braking was required to avoid demolishing cones. The rumble of antilock brakes brought the speed down quickly, without any rotation or other unpleasantness from the car. But trying to pick up speed again after the next corner involved some Amazing Kreskin-style prediction. The power comes on a little late, after the transmission decides to downshift, so if I wanted power on the a turn's exit, I had to hit the accelerator just before the apex.
Diving hard into a sharp turn, giving the steering wheel a hard pull into the corner revealed the kind of understeer I would never expect Toyota to engineer out of the Camry. With all the weight forward due to braking, and the power coming on slow, the car wanted to proceed in a straight line. But some tire-shrieking and load balancing got it back under control, through the turns, and eventually onto the finish line.
