The camry is pretty fast...about equal to a GLX VR6.  Using USA model
#'s...Camry 7.7 sec to 60, GLX 7.5 sec to 60 (close actually).  0.25 mile:
Camry 15.8 sec, 15.6 (very close about one car length)  Miss a shift and
you are dead.

>Also, Is a Standard Tranny faster than an Auto?

No real rule here.  Remember, the fastest drag race cars in the world have
two speed automatic transmissions.

>Anyone know the Gear Ratios on either cars?

Not important here.  If your uncle wants to race in a straight line, you
will win (provided you know how to shift well).  Try a road course with
turns and straights and you will kill him!
