Numbers may not be on, but if you stomp on the gas in a Camry going 20mph in second gear it will not rev even close to that fast.
Here are the '09 Camry ratios:

I think if you summed the ratio of the quadratic angle of the relative flux capacitor to the negative terminal of the wabulator valve on Tuesdays after 5pm, you could make it work. But only with eggs.

Rev high, sure. But not that fast. We are talking delta, not peak.

right now if I owned anything toyota has made in the past decade I would be scared to drive. I wonder how insurance companies are going to evaluate quotes on toyotas from now on?

Unless I totally missed this in ANY thread, WHAT ever happened to putting the car in neutral and turning the KEY or BUTTON to OFF. I tried this with my wife's Grand Prix going about 40 mph and when I turned the key off, the entire car shut down. Even the cop had to shout out to the owner of the PREIUS to do this to his car and it did shut it down and the cop car was in front of it to make sure is came to a complete stop.

Also, the whistleblower lawyer has been around for a while now. He revealed alot of documents about other safety deficiencies like the 4Runner roof. Its gonna be interesting to see how this affects other automakers. Oh, and the lawyer is suiing Toyota himself.
