My friend has a 2005 maxima for a rental car. The se autostick version of it. I took it for a drive and was like I can beat this. So we went on the highway and started at 40. We raced all the way to 100 and I was ahead the whole way. His front end was at my back end. He wants to race again but from a stop which is better for me anyway's. I thought when I went into 3rd he would start to pull but it was me who was pulling. I only have a cia intake and my car is a 5 speed. To make sure he wouldn't lie I had my other friend behind me for a witness. I am sure if his was a 6 speed it would have been a lot better because those do 0-60 is 6.4 and mine in 6.6.

 

4th gen will always be the best Maxima !

 

of course!

 

amen to that.

 

I will race him again tomorrow from a stop and post something up.

 

I don't know how fast the 6th gen is, but it looks slow, and ugly. Plus its FWD, so even though it has what 75 more hp, how much can it use if any? Our cars already spin the tires if it's the least bit wet outside. And even if it's faster, it came in 12/12, dead last, in a test of sport sedans. Did I mention it's ugly?

 

are you serious? i thought that car had like 225 horses? and doesnt have less miles? i confused

 

What do you mean?

 

Yea say all that stuff in the other forums...

Although, I agree.

 

So all the 4th Gen had was a CAI and not even a Y-pipe? 95's rule, lol!

 

4th and 5th gens are my favorites (4th gen is the out of both of them of course). I dont know what nissan was thinking when they made the 6th gen. it looks big and ugly. And what happened with it being a sports sedan. If it came in dead last then nissan needs to re think the car.

 

I love maxima but the 2k2 altima 3.5 is crazy fast! idk i need 5sp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

and I know this too from test driving a customers car
that altima could boot!

 

they have 265 hp... im surprised he beat him

 

ur friend dont know how to drive

 

I beat a 2005 the other day too, I thought it would have a little something with 255hp+ but I thought maybe cause it was stock. The "maxima" is basically what the Altima is now, 3.5L, v6 etc. They made the new maxima (6th gen) to compete with the Lexus, looks like its back to the drawing board because that new Lexus is "the hotness"!!

 

i dont think u beat him and if u did ur car is modded alot or something is wrong wit that car

 

That 6th gen must be running on 5 cylinders.

 

The new Lexus definitely has looks down pat, something that eludes all Nissan products (Q45, QX56 what disasters). Too bad they went V6 though on the GS300. Probably makes no difference and saves production costs in a lease now make payments forever get a new car in 39 months society....

Maybe the 6th gen can compete with the new Pontiac G6

 

yea man.. since its a rental car it must have been f****ed up.. or u raced a 5 gen not a 6th... cuz that thing would spank you

 

Not trying to hate... and im a 4th gen fan till the end but being realistic... a 6th gen will spank our cars brand new and even more now that 4th gens have a lot of miles. our cars automatic were hitting mid 15's brand new bonestock... and the 6th gens are hitting high 14's. 14.8's 14.9's according to motor trend and car and driver. ill admit the 6th gen should be faster for being the sports sedan that maximas are known for but its still faster than our cars.... just stating the obvious. It seems that know the sports sedan that the maxima used to be is now the altima. those 2005 3.5 altimas are wicked. they are faster than the 2002 3.5's.

 

I'll be the first to call on this. I love my 4th gen and all, but unless he was driving with his teeth and mistaked the brake for the gas, there is no way you would have beaten him top end.


btw, this is in the wrong forum.

 

i destroyed 3 6 gens two of my cousins own 6 speed ones and i toasted both of them brand new from the showroom i have y pipe intake straight pipe lightweight flywheel and stage 2 exedy clutch

 

my mom has a 6th gen , i took it for a spin and was disapointed with its performance, it felt very slow. its a nice car but this particular car was slow !

Car: 2004 Nissan Maxima SL
Auto

 

i will call BS as well.....but a 6th gen compared with your 4th gen will probely be slower condidering all you have done.

 

Well for all of you that said I was lying, your all dumb. I beat it till 100 mph. The automatic 6 gen does the 1/4 mile in over 15 and and not high 14's like some idiot said. The 6 speed 6 gen is high 14's. Even a 6 speed maxima does it in 6.4 0-60 when the 4 gen 1995 does it in 6.6. The 02 and 03 automatic is faster than the 04 and 05 automaticeven though it has less horsepower. Still not as fast as a 1995 5 speed. You would need the 6 speed for that. I raced him again and beat him to 80. The second race we had was a tie but my clutch also didn't catch very good going into 2nd. Some of the people are here don't know anything about maxima's and some do. For the people that don't maybe you should read about a little more instead of just assuming.

 

Well my friend has a SL and he can beat any 5th gen and 4th gen in our group, he has CAI and full exhaust. But he would get wooped by the 5.5 gen.
+ i know a guy that dynoed 202 whp in a 3.5 altima 5sp with full exhaust and intake so they are not that fast!

 

The SL gen 6 is slower than the SE gen 6 because the SL is a 4 speed automatic and the SE is a 5 speed automatic. Some people on hear have no idea what there talking about.

 

what the hell are you talking about? that was all mixed up my friend

 

what is wrong with you? Sitting there im'ing me to start a fight.....no i do not belive you.....but why the hell do you care so much? i was just saying i call it BS, and if you want to get your panties in a bunch over that you need to get a ****ing life.

 

You are dumb. You have no idea what you are talking about. I know what I did. You need to grow up a little.

 

oh yea i forgot that not beliveing what you say show signs of Immaturity. You want to talk about growing up, how about you stop being immature im'ing me and trying to trash talk MR. E-Thug......who cares if i do not belive you....not me i do not give a crap, i am sure anyone eles in the thread could careless....look at yourself before you go dissing on me

BTW: the 2005 got the 4spd tranny deleted so they are all 5spd auto or 6MT.

 

ok your the one showing immaturity by bringing this crap into the org. he took it to IMing you, and you brought it back into this thread for what reason!? so you can have people back you up or something? i dont give a **** who is right, but your the one starting a flame war in this thread, so now... get the **** out please thank you


back on topic, like i said 4th gens rule! but no matter how great our cars are... stock vs stock, a 6th gen maxima should beat the 4th gen.

 

dude that 6th gen is either really fuc|<ed up or you are just bullsh!ting. My friend has the 04 SL 4spd and is faster than any other maxima except the 5.5 auto or 6spd.

 

So...Anyway's for the people that know what there talking about. Has anyone eles raced a 6 gen and beat it?

 

That rent a car only has 4,000 miles on it. Go test drive one and you will see for yourself.

 

Also the 5.5 gen auto is slower than a 4 gen 5 speed.

 

Well he was just proving that this kid is very annoying and stupid for iming him to start ****. Careful manualmaxima cause this guy will do some taewkundo ****(or however it it) to your E-A$$

 

I worked at a nissan dealership, o i know how they drive. 4,000 mile is a lot on a rental, somebody could really fuc|< up a rental. Right now i have a rental with 3k miles on and it sounds like shiet cause ive fuc|< it up really good!

 

Some pople on here really need to grow up. 0-60 1/4 mile MPH 60-0
