Really? I find Tavarish to be a bit of a shiny happy person. Yes, you can buy a bi turbo S600 for used Camry money, but you can't run it on a used Camry maintenance budget.

I think the sound is throwing you off because:

It only revvs to 6000

It weighs like 4500lbs

1st gear tops out at ~45mph, 2nd at ~72.
