2000 Camry 2.2L:
EPA: 21/29
Power: 136HP
Torque: 150lb-ft
0-60: 10.5 seconds
1/4 mile: 17.5 @ 78Mph
Top speed: 110Mph
2016 Dodge Dart 2.0L:
EPA: 25/36
Power: 160HP
Torque: 148lb-ft
0-60: 8.8 seconds
1/4 mile: 16.5 @ 85Mph
Top speed: N/A
While certainly not fast, the 2.0L Dart is significantly faster than your Camry.
I wasn't talking about the Dart, I was talking about my grandmother's 2012 Jeep Patriot 2.0L CVT. It's molasses.
Interestingly enough, Motor Trend tested these vehicles and wrote an article about how the Dart and the Patriot are of the 10 slowest vehicles they've tested. 0-60 times of 9.9 seconds for the Dart and 10.1 seconds for the Patriot

The 2016 is faster 0-60 (as you can see from my post above) but your post was certainly unclear as you stated "car" and the Patriot isn't a car
I'm not saying the 2.0L Dart is fast. It is far from it. But your Camry isn't a rocket either. In fact, based on what you've just posted, your Camry is slower than the Patriot if we are comparing 0-60, as your car is 10.5 and the Patriot is 10.1. So I'm not sure how your car feels like a "rocket ship" compared to it......
