I was wondering how much work/mods a maxima would need to beat a Chevrolet Impala ss with a few upgrades so it has about 300 hp. What would be the best set up to beat one or be pretty close of a race with one? Thanks

 

If you 5speed you can get him off a roleing start. I have exhaust and intake adn i got one from a 40 role and kept it till 100.

 

New or old body style?
96 impala ss Assumed auto, runs

0-60: 7.3
1/4 Mile: 15.6

You should take that 5-spd and maybe hang auto STOCK
I dont know with his mods

Not sur what they run but have 240hp @5100rpms and a woppin 280ft/bs tq all 4spd autos
so... what kind of MINOR mods does he have?

I would think you would have to drop some decent cash to catch up.

 

mt had the new "ss"(shame on chevy for calling v6 cars super sports) at 14.7 if you trust mag numbers

 

It's not the weekend so this post is kind of forbidden.

 

well this is sort of 1/4 mile talk so I guess it should be in the 1/4 mile section. I saw a newer impala at the track last time running 16's so I guess a maxima wont have that much of a problem to beat that. The SS is very heavy but the engine can be modded to make some awesome power. If he has about 300HP then you should be running high 14's. It may take full exhaust, and intake to beat that
Do you know what times he runs?

 

yes it is the older body style like a 96, he has an ecu upgrade intake, and im sure he has more im just not sure, i guess this is a bad post.... its a question on what would be good mods to beat a car like that?? how should this be forbidden? why did you say anything if you think it should be forbidden? should of just read over it like it wasnt there....

 

IBTL....
Race threads are only allowed on weekends.
If his Impala is modded, I would think it would be hard for the Max to beat it.
96 Impala SS came with the LT1 350.
Yes, I know its heavy. But with some mods it should respond very nice but they are auto so a manual max should get him off the line.

 

You talking 1/4 times?

 

Zipp028 if you really wanna smoke him just buy a supercharger.

or CAI, Y-pipe, EXHAUST, and MEVI with TECHNOSQUARE ECU.

 

I hardly ever see them run faster than high 14's at my track...most are in the 15's.
