Using the base numbers it is .1 second over the MT. Doesn't matter how they got hem. Now of course the poor AT drivers are only going to see Camry tail lights but that is a different matter.

What I'm saying is I'm not as good as the driver who got that 0-60 time in a manual (I bet a bunch of twin owners are not that skilled). Also in the real world when I'm not planning on drag racing to 60 (even though to get on the free way it is a drag to 70-75) and all the camry owner has to do is stop their right foot to go fast. So in the average circumstance those v6 Camrys can just pull away in a straight line if they choose to go to redline to pass a twin. If they do not go to redline then the twin will pass them handily with barely going over 6k rpm.
Also I feel I should mention in all my 6 years of ownership I have seen one or maybe two Camry v6s that where even willing to drive with any sort of aggressiveness so among Camrys as you said it is a rarity but when they feel the need for speed they can get going pretty damn fast from a stop.
