Usually I'm on top of the stats and can rattle most of the records off the top of my head, but it has come to my attention that I might be behind the times when it comes to stock 5.5 or 6th gen cars. What is the quickest stock time for one?

i find it awesome that the 5at guys are faster than the 6spd guys...wish i had me one of them 5at's

I did a 14.1 stock in an '02 6MT. it was my brother's car at the time but I bought it off him last week.
I know there were a few other 14.1 stocks.. EdCamden comes to mind. I think he was the first to hit it,, dunno if anybodys gotten below that for stock.

Yeah I remembered your 14.1, what was it 14.18 or something? Also what was your trap? I heard that there might have been someone who made it into the 13s stock but I haven't seen any proof of that.

Come on Neo! I'm sure you read this...

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????

Where did you get this info?

I know the ballpark times. I was looking for the actual quickest time that has been documented.

the point of a link is so that you can read the thread.

Sorry guys! I was a little tipsy last night.

That is impressive what those auto's are doing

yes it is, i wish i had me one of them

No you don't

just the trans, not the car. 5spd auto>4spd auto....or is there something i dont know?

yup.


6 spd manual>all

6Spd + Open diff =

im going to be 6spd soon, just got the ok to start buying parts

6spd + open diff>4spd auto.

Get an F/D from an 06 L31, slap it in the 4AT, and be decently quick.... But sh!tty highway mileage FTL.

Funny avatar, but you look kinda pissed on it...

14.12 @ 98, the timeslip is on my old box sitting in the closet.. i'll see if i can get some files off of it tonight :P , was on a 2.2 60ft btw
I bought the Maxipad off my bro a few weeks ago Going to see if I can get her to the track one of these days for some modded times.

5speed manual > 6speed manual.

wow possible 13sec stock FWD car? that pretty impressive.

Actually there was an altima that went 13.9x fully stock. It was a 3.5 5 speed. The driver didn't let go off the gas when he shifted. It's somewhere on altimas.net

I can't provide a link because I'm not a member.

Then your post is uslesss. And the original thread starter was referring to a Maxima, not the FWD 3.5L in general.

OT: Can anyone tell with any authority (not what they read or heard from someone else) what the difference in driving dynamics between the 3.0 and 3.5 VQs is/are?



13.9s Stock? S-hit City. That's an eye opener.

WHat exactly do you mean?

The 3.5L isn't as smooth.
The 3.5L has quite a bit of torque.
3.5L sounds better (IMO)
That's been my experience.

Well, my brother-in-law has driven my SMX and my wife's SE (both 4th gens) and drove a rented ti or si 6th gen for about six weeks late last year while his car was being fixed. He said (and why I'm asking) that the steering was better on the 4th gens and the ride more firm but that the 6th gen 3.5 engine mostly masked a basically spongy ride and poor turn-in from a chassis that's too ungainly.

You asked about engines not suspension/steering.

I can't compare because my A32 has Eibachs so I cant compare stock for stock.

Only when going into 6th! (can never get it down)

what?? that would mean that the 6spd is better because you can actually shift into a 6th gear.

Na just joking cause 6th and rev are together I sometimes shove it in 4th. At that time just a 5th speed is better for me.

ooo, yeah that would make a 5spd better.
