I was driving with a friend going to see his company's new building which they are moving into. I was on a 55mph 4 lane highway with cruise set at 70ish.. out of nowhere, I see a black 4th gen just like mine approaching very fast (I would guess 90ish) So we decide to play with him: wait until he is about to pass me and drop to 3rd and gun it. At that moment my friend notices that its the VP of the company he works for driving. My friend says "he's got an auto, kill him" I had trouble keeping up as he already had a lot of speed on me, but I start to pull close and we both gun it like crazy. As we got close to the exit, we were both in excess of 120 and he has no idea who we were. So my friend happens to have his cell number and calls him up. His reply = "Just because you have one, doesn't mean you can drive it" We raced up the private road to his new building and talk maximas for a while. It was a fun day! (just thought I would share)

he got to the exit before me, but it was not a fair race because when we started racing he was already 30mph faster than I was.

no nos yet, my car is still stock as far as the engine goes... but i do that that APEXI exhaust on the way. I'm starting to think turbo for my maxima.. I have a friend who thinks he may know somebody who could put one in custom for the same price that an SC would cost me.

Man, with all those gauges, clear corners and different colored lights he didn't have a chance. You should have been able to catch him in NO TIME!!

No way, the ebay guy wanted more then the group buy here, I'm in on this one.

Also, I have noticed that each guage adds 20hp where as stickers only add about 5hp each Anyway, now that I have had my car for a while I'm going to start adding engine mods soon, just wanted to get used to the power before I added more...
