Both Good Drivers

 

The left one.

 

huh???????

 

Ehehehe...don't mind me. Welcome to the ORG.

The Maxima should win both drivers being equal. Get a y-pipe and REALLY dust him.

 

hahaha... coo

 

Get the ypipe first, makes a big difference as far as power.

 

Im going to have to say the spec v. I went against my friend, me being a 97 5 speed, both cars stock, but he had me on driving a ton i'd only been driving stick for a month or 2 at that point and he had been 5 years or so.....beat me in 3rd he just pulled far....would be reallly close if both good drivers.

 

Damn dude I smoke those in my auto (y-pipe and intake) and I prolly could take it with my 5speed 240 which is sligtly modded. Need to practice driving better.

 

In the a straight arrow race, the maxima should own the spec v. Those cars are better for twists and turns than straight races. But that's another story...

 

this is a close one, im going to pick 98 max though !

 

What is a Spec V? Not familiar with this term.

 

its a sentra

 

Not in stock form. SpecV's have proved disapointing in the handling dept. Either their height, tires, susp setup or something. Neither car is a great handler out of the dealership. Probably a close race in the 1/4.

 

Whats axleback?

 

just a muffler with a stock b-pipe

 

I have to say the Spec V. A buddy of mine has one and it is pretty quick. They have i think 175 hp?? also pretty light.

 

The maxima is the faster car stock for stock and mod for mod. Equal drivers = maxima winning. More power, more torque, not much more weight, better gearing from what I hear, and it responds much better to modifications.

 

i'm gonna have to say Spec V. I was driving to drop my car off to get something fixed and my neighbor was following me in his Spec...i floored it and he stayed on my rear and eventually had to downshift from ending up in my backseat. all i can say is those 4 bangers have so much low end torque it's amazing, and it's not to bad in mid-high also.

 

With a good driver, the Max should win. It'll be a very close race though.

 

I say that it will be a pretty close race.
Unless you just suck at driving the Max, you should take him though. You just have more torque and ought to be be able to take him off the line, and then not let him catch up. All depends on the launch.
They are light, so it should be interesting.
Let us know what happens.

 

the max should win with a good driver

 

But that's the thing, the SE'R Spec V is strong off the line too. If the Max driver sucks, he's toast. Test drive a Spec V, those cars can run.

 

i smoke Spec Vs all day long.

 

well that is a different story then. if the max driver sucks, that means they are not both good drivers, only the sentra driver is.

 

i also have a spec v, i only have injen cold air intake and run 15.1s at 91 mph.. and the intake didnt do jack for my car, its just alot louder now lol

 

i changed my mind, i would rather have a ypipe on the max before i got into the fight

 

Go to the track and find out.

 

my auto max with i/y/up/e vs 02 spec v i/muffler... i won by .049....you should be able to squeek out a win

 

maxima will win, better gear grip, larger torque, and it's a vq. besides, i worship maxima's. maxima wins...

 

I raced one a couple of weeks ago with friend in the car. They are descent, but I still beat him pretty bad.. I could tell the Spec V I raced had at least an intake. I would say a 5speed Max is faster.

 

beat a spec V with cai and catback in my stock 00 5 speed. had 3 cars by 100. you should dust him if you can drive

 

here are some times for both:

I like my Sentra better than my Maxima..


the Spec V should be running really low 15's with those mods, or even high 14's.

The Maxima should be about the same..

a 5.5 Gen Maxima? now that would smoke them both!

funny to see this tread...cus one of my homeboys has a manual 03 SE-R vspec with injen intake and headers and i have a 98 auto with a good number of mods which u can see on my site...and im sorry to say...but his **** takes my max in about 2-3 gear...i get him off the line always..but once hes out of first its a diff story..i think out of all the times we have raced i only took him ONCE on a rollin race on the turnpike...i dont know why...maybe its my 2 15's and all that bums that always ask me for a ride that i have to drag along.or my bad ks and o2 sensors?..but the sentra will win i promise you...he almost took a SRT-4 but he kept up with it to give u an idea of how hes runnin

 

So all the mods you really have are intake and exhaust? I'm not surprised he beat you considering you have a stereo as well.


"coming soon power slot brakes..hawk pads..steel break lines with black painted caplier...cattman headers/y-pipe...mevi...FLYWHEEL...stainless steel lines..."

Are you planning a 5-speed swap?

 

when/and if i get the money for it...not any time soon

 

So the flywheel is going on before the swap then right?

 

i killed a spec v baaaadddd, i was on the way home and he was pulling out of the dealership, we hit the interstate and i left him HARD! never gone from a stop, but from a 50 mph roll, left him by at least 6 cars. i shut it down and he did that stupid ricer fly-by

 

most likely...but i dont think i will be gettin the mevi now that i saw the recent dynos posted for it w/o the 7200 redline...i need to get in contact with venom to see if they can program my 400 to redline at 7200

 

Venom?! If you had the mevi you might have had a better chance from a roll even w/o the 7.2k. Essentially you ran your homeboy stock, because cat-back exhaust adds, 1-3 hp, and intake, well, I'll leave that to a differnt thread, but you need a y-pipe OR headers. . and to say you have a decent amount of mods. . . .hmm, not engine performance.
