#7
yeah man, i have dunlop SP5000's, W rated to like 168mph. springs seem to help too. STRUT BAR mad a HUGE difference. but yeah, i wouldn't outdrive your tires. . . and that does suck about only goin that fast, but you guys have shorter gear ratios. .. . hmmmmmm swap. .. . interesting. . . .posting now!

I've never drove my car past 75mph. At 75mph I feel like a high performance driver. One time I tried to go up to 80mph but I felt it was very dangerous so I only got up to around 74mph or so. But 75mph is the fastest I have ever gone.

I really wish they would have put a better speedometer in the 89-91 maximas, I have no idea what the fastest I have had my car up to is cause the thing gets burried while I am still in 4th gear, so I can only guess at somewhere in the mid 130's to 140.

110, 115, 120mph
Theirs a bridge which connects St. Petersburg with Tampa n everyone just hauls on it. 7 miles long, 5 lanes wide on both sides, n S/L of 75mph. I guess no one sees those signs cuz they be going 85/90mph. (Including myself)
N E wayz, after a long night of hittin Ybor I just wanna get home n Zzzz. Im on the bridge n my foot just starts getting heavy. I then notice my speedo clocking 110, then 115, n finally 120 mph. I then manage to pull my foot off the accelerator, n dont hit 125. I dont bother cuz I have a Vg n it'll only do 125mph. Oh well I shouldn't be speeding N E ways.

You guys are ****ing nuts!!! I just showed this to my dad and my brother, they are both cracking up, my brother was very impressed but my dad is like OMG, these are the guys you hang out at those meets with?
Are these photoshopped? My dad and my bro are both amused by the daredevil maneuver of taking a pic while going just about double most speed limits

Re: Re: hahahaaha
damn, i need to get a pic of me burrying the speedo at 145. . . . too bad going that fast i don't take my hands off the wheel! lol, i can't imagine taking a pic! oh well, my tires are rated to 168, too bad i don't think i'll be getting near that

You were probably going in the mid-high 120s. maybe a tad over 130, but not much...
Then again, I've had my auto clocked at 143 by a cop before...
And yes, that pic was 100% real. I think I took that particular one on the way back form a dallas meet. I've had a few others that actually indicated faster speed, but can't find them.
that being said, Don't use this thread as an excuse to try to meet or beat those speeds. This is VERY dangerous, and you risk killing yourself and anyone near you if you happen to wreck at those speeds. a blowout WILL cause a fatal crash, not just a new bumper.
Both Nevin's and my car are highly modded- mine had ALL the suspension goodies on it, including Z rated tires. Don't even think of attempting this on a stock Maxima with "regular" tires.

**** ATTENTION EVERYONE READING THIS THREAD ****
PLEASE DO NOT GO OUT AND TRY TO TOP OUT YOUR SPEEDOMETER. THERE IS NO COMPETITION TO SEE WHO CAN GO THE FASTEST. EVERYBODY KNOWS 140 MPH IS ACHIEVABLE WITH VG'S AND VE'S. I STRONGLY URGE THAT YOU DO NOT GO OUT WITH A CAMERA TRYING TO TAKE PICS OF YOU GOING 120+MPH. IT'S TOO DANGEROUS. I WOULD HATE TO HEAR OF A FELLOW MAX OWNER DYING BECAUSE OF A TOP SPEED RUN. I ASK THAT EVERYONE PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY. THANK YOU.
~Nevin
P.S. Sorry I had to write that in caps but I felt it was very important.

I have gone 150 in my car... I should take a picture next time I go that fast. Anyways the speedo needle was so wrapped that it was closer to zero than 145. At high speeds the speedo gets a little optimistic about speeds, so the way I knew I was going 150 was that I was at 6300 RPM in fifth. By the way don't try it with an engine with 150K miles on it; just a hint from experience. Don't you all wish you had VE's?????

Ok, so the Se's have white gauges? Is that correct? I am trying to get a 92-93 maxima that my cousin owns. I wanted to know how you tell what cars have a VE or Vg engine? Besides looking under the hood... I know this car has white gauges is all...
I have a '86 maxima now (Gotten it to 115 )
This is the first time I have read the 3rd Gen forum! I need to get my *** out of the 5th gen forum and realize where I am at... what I drive...
