A Toyota Camry is never going to be fast, ever. Changing the gearing will not help this very basic fact.My 85 year old father has oneThe engine at that mileage should be run gently and the automatic gear box allowed to do its own thingThe engine will still go to max rpm and survive, but not very often and not for long with out a serious failure.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
