How would a supercharged 4th generation Maxima SE do against a 300ZX Twin Turbo? I hear the HP at the crank might be to the max's advantage somewhere around 320hp with about 240-270 at the wheels. The TT has 300hp at the crank but I am not sure at the wheels. Can anyone shed some light on this situation? Thanks.

Don't think so
A 90-96 300ZX TT manual will pull like a 5.2 second ish 0-60. A S/C Max will pull maybe mid 5's. Unless the Z driver can't drive and the MAX driver really can it ain't happening. Sorry.

You made me go and look,
in my mag collection.
Heres what MT did in a 93 300ZX TT,
0-60=5.2
1/4=13.8/103.9MPH
So there you have it. A fully moded max can run sub 13 sec 1/4 mile times. Most SC max's with all the bolt on's will run mid to low 13 sec 1/4 {with street tires}. So sorry, but I was right the first time.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves...
First off are we talking about a straight line race or something like a road course with turns. In a straight line the 300ZX will win, marginal advantage but it will win. Unless the supercharged Max is running in excess of 12lbs. of boost. And that much power will still make it pretty hard to "hook up" the tires, much less keep your engine from tearing itself to shreds. So advantage 300ZX.
If we're talking about a road course, the 300ZX has the advantage once again. Rear wheel will assist in at the limit driving.
And last, if we have to "HEAVILY" modify a Maxima to run with a stock 300ZX then what does that tell you? Come on guys lets stick to blowing the doors off cars more in our class, and lets just surprise average sports cars at their own game(hehe check out my red/clear tails!). But leave twin-turbo machines alone. Unless you are confident about the ability of you and your cars skill.

Not true, Sleeper's car runs stock boost and did a 13.3 sec 1/4 mile, on street tires. Most SC max's running stock boost with all the bolt on's run mid 13's{with a good driver}. BTW a car running about 8lbs of boost{example Steve from Chicago} ran a 13.3{I think} and thats with a auto magic,he also added a intercooler since his last trip to the track so expect his 1/4 mile to drop a few tenths{probably}.

True but,were talking staight line

DMGMAxima88, I have heard of a a couple guys here who have broken into the 12's. The best I have hear is 12.8 which BTW is a full second quicker then a 300XZ.

Emax....
I'm not saying back down, I'm just saying lets remember what we're comparing. A HEAVILY modded Max against a stock 300ZX. Lets also remember that you dont wanna go near a modded 300ZX with your S/C Max. Remember 300ZX platform was built with speed in mind, and the aftermarket potential is tremendous. Unless you are content with losing.
By the responses in this thread I would assume we're only talking about straight line acceleration.
And lets remember I have a Max too, so its fun to give the big boys a run for their money. Just dont underestimate your opponent.
