with this guy as the driver, definitely 5.5gen 6 speed. if he can do 14.28 with a stock 4th gen imagine what he would do with a 5.5gen. this is something that i would like to see.
there is another guy on here that ran 14.01 in his stock 5.5gen 6speed, but i would still like to see Neal get his hands on one at the track.

Speaking from personal expierence, I have ran both, a 5.5 6MT and a 7th gen, down the same track.. Now this is my 1st 6sp car I have ever owned and when I ran it, I was fairly new to the transmission. My best time for the 5.5 gen was a 14.3 at 97 MPH, and my best time for a (rental) 7th gen was a 14.4 at 95.
From a dig, Im sure i can beat a 7th gen because CVT tranny is garbage at WOT from 0 MPH. But from a 40 roll, it would be a drivers race! (in the 7th gen, your still in 1st gear at 40 MPH)

Well, I just aquired a 3rd generation and I have to say it is the quickest Maxima I have ever driven.
GXE model to boot!
OK, so I've never driven any of the other years......
We've got an 1/8 mile track 20 minutes from me, might have to take it out and see what it really does!
Fun thread, nothing wrong with that.

I dont think so!
Just watch the many youtube videos of the 07-08 Maxima's beating every prior year maxima... period.
The 7th Generation Maxima is currently the fastest, beating the 6th. But it must be deciphered that the 07-08's are significantly quicker than the 04-06's

The 6.5 gen had improved visuals, as most mid-model refreshes do on just about any car. However, since over 40 percent of the Org membership rocks a manual transmission, it's an uncommon opinion here that the 6.5 CVT is a driver's car.
But if you saw a youtube video... well there's your answer then.

I'm not a fan of the CVT and my next Nissan will be either a G37 Coupe or Sedan....In Canada a new Maxima is more expensive than a G37 sedan! Saw one on the lot two days ago while at my dealer for my engine mount replacement under my extended warranty. The premium Max was over $43K! My performance mods include the NWP spacers, UDP underdrive pulley, NWP Via Plate, Front Strut bar, EIbach Pro Kit 1 lowering kit, KYB GR2 shocks, AEM CAI, Custom exhaust plus removal of resonator, Y-pipe, rear strut bar, NGK Iridium plugs, after-market rotors front and back, Hawk ceramic brake pads...(you need to stop too). My next mod is a computer and the Jet sensor.
Ok, I'm not stock...but I'm fast....
