i agree with you somewhat but then again just because a car puts down 300 horsepower on the dyno doesnt mean much. what if it is a 6000 lb Bently with 300 HP? that car wouldnt be very quick. dynos and 1/4 times supplement eachother.

I really don't have an interest in putting my car on the track. So what if it goes fast in a straight line? Actually, I don't have much interest in dynoing either, but I still do only cos it's 5 minutes from my house! For the track, I have to drive an hour or so, sometimes in traffic. I'll probably do it some day, but I'm in no hurry!

Plus I can think of several Bentleys right now that could spank a 4th gen pretty hard...

are you joking me? that was simply of an example of why 1/4 times are a good indicator of a car's performance. i was saying that just because a car puts out a certain amount of horsepower doesnt mean that it is quick. i said bently because i know they are extremely heavy cars and it proved my point.
yes a maxima putting out 300 HP is a pretty stong maxima but a little mitata (c. 2300 lbs)that only puts out 275 hp will be faster than a 300 hp maxima (c. 3200 lbs) even though the maxima has more horsepower. that was my point.
turbo97se was arguing that 1/4 times dont necessarily show a car's performance perfectly because of driver variations. and i was arguing that dynos do not show a car's performance perfectly because of weight and other factors. each on their own have their down falls.
understand now?

We all know that Nigel might not be able to pull in the best run on his maxima, we all understand the power it has and how hard it must be to drive...but the fact that he hasent even tryed, is why people complan.

all of that was actually meant to defend those of you who want to see a 1/4 time from nigel.
