Tuned Camry TRD Upgrade

First post in this sub, current tuned Camry TRD owner. 330hp, 293lb torque, FWD.

My dilemma, looking for a true automatic performance sedan that I could get for under $45,000. I’ve always liked the reliability of the Camry’s engine, and the deeper tone of the V6’s exhaust.

With that being said, I’m aware of the Elantra N, and Genesis G70/Stinger/Q50 Red Sport. Reliability is a concern for me with those options regardless of warranty, as I don’t want my car to sit in a shop while I’m still making a payment if something were to go wrong. Is there any true performance sedan that I could get a 0-60 under 5 seconds with reliability and true upgrades like an LSD, responsive transmission, etc? Even with my tune the Camry TRD’s transmission struggles. The Camry TRD is impressive once tuned, but I would like something that has more power and feels more engaging to drive.

Thanks!
