Why would you not use nitrous? I don't know why everyone considers it "cheating" if one car doesnt have it. To me thats like saying you have a turbo I dont so don't use your turbo.

Well first of all they are BOTH boosted, the Maxima has 2 more cylinders, the Maxima probably makes more power, and he seems really confident that his car is faster than the SRT-4 he raced. Well his car's faster until his bottle runs out...I'd like to see a rematch without the nitrous so CMAX can prove me wrong

No because it's alot easier to not spray nitrous than to take off your turbo right? Funny reasoning you used there

lets use a little science here. 19lbs of boost equates to about 228 hp at 12hp per lb. my car s/c at 9lbs of boost is a additional 90 hp at 10lbs per psi for a s/c. my 1/4 mile time on 9lbs is 13.5 seconds. his 19lbs of boost is running him 12.9 -13.0 secs in the 1/4 this yr at the track. so there for i know his car is faster than mine duh thats why i juiced him to and thats what we agreed to who am i fooling thinking i can beat 19lbs of turbo, come on man. we raced last yr in springvalley where meccanoble, lquidvenom, maxboogie all witnessed me kill him by 8 cars all supercharger no nitrous when he had less work than now. i designed my car to run s/c nitrous thats it, take it or leave it.p.s i have a 11lb pulley and a 14lb pulley that i can put on in 2 hours at any given time and romp the fool out of him like that but thats not my set up now, 9lbs is all i need to finish the job with the killer switch, lol.

So you agree he would probably wax you without your Nitrous?

Was this when he was running on 3 cylinders?

So you'd rather have the 9lb/nitrous over the 14lb pulley because you have the option of running a bigger shot? (and probably better for the 1/4 mile)

lol, yeh he would of waxed me stupid,lol. and yeh it gives me the ability to run a bigger shot which is good for 1/4 miles runs, and less stress on the motor during everyday driving. i,ve been in this game a long time and you dont worry about what other people think yrs ago it was a no-no to discuss what you had under the hood either you raced or you didnt.

So what if he has less cylinders, he has more boost. Also his car is about 100 pounds lighter. And when i said its like saying not use your tubro I didn't mean literaly, I said it because its a stupid thing to say and in my oppinion say don't use nitrous is stupid, unless it was agreed on before the race.

the last time we used sprint and we could e mail it from the phone, this nextel doesnt do it like that. the only way is we have to buy a cable to download it. i'll get it soon so you guys can see this whupping, lol.

heres one from the sprint phone from last yr against a 13 second mustang

Just an article to settle the srt4 bashing. They may be based off neons, but they relate in no way at all.

And that doesn't justify posting the fastest SRT-4 mag times vs the slowest 6-speed mag times. 13.9 vs 14.7 come on we know there's not an average of EIGHT tenths of a second between a 6sp and an SRT-4.

Fastest SRT-4 stock time=13.7
Fastest 6sp stock time=14.1

And both 'regular' times average around .4 slower than that in both cases. There IS NOT nearly 1 second difference between the two.

if youve ever been down a track .4 of a second in the quarter is a long time. And like i said in the post, juuuust next to one of those times ----> (Different sources, different times) in case you happened to miss that.

The SRT-4 boosts anywhere from 11-14psi STOCK. This kid claims 19.If he's anywhere in that vacinity, this guys max is gonna need more than just nitrous and a y-pipe to actually say he raced the kid. Otherwise, bye bye doors

hahaha exactly 18-19lbs of boost is ridiculous and if you guys think just a s/c with 9lbs of boost or just a 60 shots gonna do it your wrong. i know the guy i raced car is ridiculous fast and to see it move off is even crazier, i had my hand by the activation switch at all times, lol.

I severly beat a stage II one(like had two cars through second gear) I think that you can take him
You severely beat a S2 SRT? You do realize that they run low 13s/high 12s and trap 108-112. Judging from your time/trap, you probably ran a stock SRT. Then again, you say you only raced through 2nd gear so I'm not sure how you could even call that a race.

You beat a modded SRT by 8 cars in the 1/4 after giving up the lead initially? I guess this means you run low 12s? Without video of this race, I'm gonna have to call bs.

Well we all know that if YOU "call BS" then it must be a totally fabricated story - because every car with the same mods runs the same 1/4 mile time every time. There's no accounting for driver skill or anything like that, ever. Apparently the first SRT4 troll has arrived...

I'm with u on that one bro. Unless the kids clutch blew up, somethin is very wrong with that story. A stock srt with a halfway decent driver will give any decently modded max a good run for its money, thats just how it is.

BTW awsome username bro hahaha

UHM, there were a couple of max org members present, liqidvenom, maxboogie and meccanoble which was also the same night i beat him too.
and yes i have a 12 second maxima in case you didnt know. the 8 car win was with a stage 2 and the 2 1/2 car win was with a stage 4 no lies there ask anyone. i have video of both and the first one i sent to digital from a camera phone was to hard to download so now i have one with the stage 4 on a video camera that i have to work on downloading. if you can open the nextel vid i will gladly e mail it to you so you can see the true story.

I keep forgetting that this was from a dead stop. (duh)
I didn't know that there was a Stage 4 for the SRT4. I guess you learn something new everyday.
Anyways there are Stage 3 SRT4's that run 11's so Neal was right it all depends on the driver when racing from a dig.
You guys should go from a roll if you haven't already.
C-max- how many mph do you gain after the 1/8th mile?


nevermind I just remembered that you told me you trapped at 111 mph!

These threads always turn into heated arguments. I'm very familiar with BOTH cars being a former Maxima SE 5spd. owner myself. Driver is everything.

I've seen bone stock SRT-4's run 13.7's @102mph before but at the same time have seen some ****ty drivers run 15's in them.

Given the situation, I would say it would be a close drivers race. Try and find out.

I think were arguin about the wrong thing. Some of us are debating on whether or not this kid could actually beat the SRT in a race, and the rest of us are arguin about whether or not the car itself can beat such a lightly modded '02

if were gonna talk drivers...anyone, can win any race, with any car.

When lookin at the cars themselves, theres no question about whether or not an SRT boostin 19lbs would beat (and most likely destroy) an '02 max with such minor mods.

either way if i had to choose id pick the max over the neon anyday, cause its a max.. even if it is slower.

can we at let agree on that?
