We have a 2007 Toyota Camry LE Sedan 4D is for sale near Hollywood Florida at The Auto Block located North of Down Town Fort Lauderdale at 733 N. Andrews Ave. Fort Lauderdale Florida 33311.
The SE’s chassis benefits from unique sport tuning, with 15-percent-higher spring rates, special shocks that offer up to 50-percent-firmer damping at low piston speeds, a stiffer front anti-roll bar, and stiffer bushings on the rear suspension arms. In addition, there are body reinforcements not seen on lesser Camry’s, including an underfloor brace, a V-brace behind the rear seatback (precluding the folding rear seats available in other Camry’s), and thicker body-side brackets.
Oh, all those fine suspension tweaks work great in the hills. The grip is pretty good at 0.82 g on the skid pad — where you ride the razor’s edge between slip angles to stop Mr. Party Pooper from slowing you down — and the firm chassis discipline controls ride motions admirably. But again, the car’s new athletic allure teases the driver with responsive steering, resolute roll control, and easily read contact patches without really allowing him to exploit the car as far as he might.
Okay, most people do not slide their cars around on the road. In fact, most drivers probably use no more than about 0.40 g of lateral acceleration even when they think they’re really moving along. And Toyota clearly feels that safety is its paramount concern. Saving lives first, satisfying the thrill seekers next — that’s not a priority you can really argue with.
