think i can beat a 1999 jeep wrangler, stick, 4.0 liter, against my max, 98, auto...???

 

I think I can beat one on foot.

 

yea and hes only got one foot!!!

just joking

 

can someone explain to me the liters on the engines how that all works... i forgot exactly what it all is

 

Hey, I know where you live.

 

Liters dont always matter. I dont really know how to explain it, but the fact I am using to back myself up is that little RX7's with 1.3 liter engines at 500 horsepower can kick the crap out of a Camaro with a 5.7 liter engine pumping the same 500 horses.

 

Hey max2kgle526, did you go to speed world tonight? i happened to pass there tonight around 6:30 and saw some Max's..........if your ever there let me know i would like to meet you (and your one leg ) and check your car out....

 

I know about the 4.0L Cherokee. 190 HP, ? torque. 8.4 sec 0-60. The wrangler is about the same. Unless your tranny is shot, you can take him.

 

The displacement of the engine is measured in liters. That signifies how big the engine is and how much air can enter the cylinders. Engines with larger displacement usually have longer strokes. Now if you remember your physics from high school, the longer the stroke, the more torque you get.

I think it's L x P = Torque or something like that..where L is the length of the stroke.

But that does not always mean an engine that has larger displacement will have more torque than an engine that has smaler displacement.

Other factors come into play, such as compression in the cylinders (which means the oxygen to fuel ratio).

The displacement of your Maxima's engine is approx. 3L.

 

No, I was at home. Yeah, maybe someday. Im gonna go out one day and take a quick run on the track. If I decide when, Ill send you an e-mail, alright?

 

dont sweat it, you will take him, especially once you get going, those things arent exactly aerodynamic...they look more like a giant over-sized roller skate

 

just out of curiosity... [b]WHY[/b} would someone do that?? its a jeep.. your point in racing it is what??

 

My Maxima is faster than a Contour, my Maxima is faster than a V6 Camaro, etc... Where is the stretch? People think that their 'pretty fast' car will beat everything else out on the road. Then you get stomped on my a Honda Odyssey and the dream is shattered. The Jeeps are fast, especially the 5.2L Grand Cherokee (0-60 in ~7.5 secs).

 

Hmm let's not talk about rotaries, they're more comparible to a jet engine. And for a 1.3 liter it sux the gas down.

Anyways yeah 1.0 liter is 1,000 Cubic Centimeters of displacement. Generally the more displacement the more torque because of the longer stroke.

Horespower is derived from torque. The general equation is:

(Torque * RPM)/5252

It's pretty accurate. I'd take the read from where the torque band is at max.

 

Dont let their appearance fool you. Right out of the hole they are quick b/c the low gearing but once you hit about 30 or so, it should be all MAxima... Also watch out b/c alot of rednecks like to mod these things. But even if modded, you will still obliterate them over about 60.

 

Don't worry about the Jeep. I used to have a '97 Wrangler and I've never seen a Max get spanked by a Jeep. Of course I had 5.5" of lift, 33" tires and the heaviest steel rear bumber that I have ever seen.

 

that is correct I took a third generation out by half a car in my odyssey we went up to 80mph but that guy didn't launch properly would have been a tie or he would have won if he had a good launch

 

I would have to agree, you will have no problem taking a Jeep Wrangler or cherokee, however if you see my black grand cherokee it has been rednecked with the same Warpspeed technology we use for the Maximas. They are pretty quick especially with our exhaust and CAI.

can't stock grand cherokee V8 2wd version can take out stock automatic maxima right?

 

It was 4.0, i beat him by a second through the 1/4 mile. I know, I know, I need to learn to drive better. I'll be posting time slips of my first time at the track shortly.

the 5.9 liter one can beat an auto maxima and give the 5sp a run for his money. but the max should win if the person can drive. those things are really fast.

but I heard that max auto can tie GC 4WD only can't beat the 2WD version

that does not really make sense though. wouldnt the 4wd one be able to get a better start off the line?
