Default TCH Drag Race...!!

This s a video of a teenager test driving and at the end drag racing a TCH

http://www.automobilemag.com/multime..._camry_hybrid/

Note the TCH's lack of wheelspin at the start compared to the standard TC, presumably due to traction control.

Little twerp in the video. His only valid point is the smaller trunk. He's testing cars simply with performance in mind. People looking simply for performance are not going to be purchasing a TCH.

He felt it was sluggish unless you hit the accelerator hard. I'm sure that's a built-in design feature to avoid jackrabbit starts. The power is there, but you have to purposely go for it.

I saw this awhile back. It is worthless.
