but.. i heard of one VE running 14s stock.. this was Czar.. maybe there were others.. but there have been quite a few VQs hitting 14s stock.. VEs are slower by a bit, but not by much.. VQs have more torque and are lighter.. VE autos seem to be real slow compared to it's 5 speed performance.. the VQ autos aren't that much slower in general. The VG is the slowest maxima..
no offense to VG people.. all maximas are good and the 3rd gens styling is great.

I did love the VG autos although for their great low end and have heard of them matching VE auto's.

And as for a stock VE Auto vs VG Auto, it is possible for a VG Auto to run right next to it up to 60 mph. Especially when the VE is heated up and is not as fast as when it's cool.

Maybe because my VE is an auto but still cmon id expect a little more thrill from it than what i currently get. It has been well maintained by the 1st owner and me; no VTC trouble, recently had an oil change, throttle body clean a couple of months ago, new fuel filter about a month ago, and i put in 2 bottles of Chevron Techron fuel system cleaner last week after the oil change. Result? - My 0-60 time is still around 10 seconds, i cant seem to do any better than mid-high 9's and i still get around 13-15 MPG with moderate "city" driving around town to/from school and work basically

I don't know too much about third gens. But one particular third gen. ALWAYS stands out in my mind. At the San Diego meet last summer, a group of us got together. It was mostly 4th gens. but there was this one 3rd gen. I'll never forget. I'm embarrassed to say I don't even remember his name. A very quiet, modest fellow with one hell of a car. It was gray, BMW headlights, Fuba antenna, two-tone leather, shaved emblems, nice rims, Stillen ground effects, etc., etc. Well we all went to Carlsbad Raceway and about half of us ran while half didn't. I chose not to that day. So did the guy I was telling you about. So we are all in the stands watching. After a few hours, he gets up and disappears. Next thing I know he is at the tree lined up against a Mustang! It was an older Cobra. Light turns green, he smoked the Mustang. Next thing I know, he is back on the bleachers sitting down with us. I'm assuming he had NOS but damn, it was cool to watch. I didn't get his time because there is no display board and the announcer wouldn't say it every time and when he did, it was hard to hear. 
I gained a lot of respect for gen. 3. I believe he was from Arizona, anybody know him by chance?

Sure, they are on my laptop which is at home but I have many for you. Every plane, every angle, inside, outside. Just not of the engine unfortunately!!!
Can I see your pics? Anyway, e-mail me and I'll e-mail them to you when I get them from my l.t. to my desktop. Have a great night.

I think there's something not quite right with my car. I dunno if it's injectors or coils or what. but i have like 137k miles. so what can ya do. anyway, i'm hoping for lower 14's next time i'm at the track. I just thought i'd clarify why i think i can hit lower times. track and weather conditions just sucked that day!

At Stillen I looked in the doors of my 3rd gen compared to all the 4th gens, and the weight was about 70lbs less than the 4th gens.

As a note.....I keep reading this and I'm scratching my head. I race my friend who has a 1999 SE with an Automatic. I have a 94 SE (VE Motor) With a 5 speed. His is stock and mine has a wsp CAI in it. I clean his clock all of the time. no official times but, I will have him by a car length or 2 and still running away over about a quarter mile. I don't know where this info is coming from about the VQ sumpremity but....I have to argue. anyways.....my .02 cents
