how fast are they? like if auto and stick race would stick beat him badly or it's close

 

5spd >>>>> auto

Check the 1/4 mile forum for more.

 

... ...

Depends on your take on what "badly" is.

 

I'll answer your question with a question...

Why?

 

You're going to get run over one of these days taking pics of your Maxima on that long windy heavily wooded road. ...

 

LOL! nmexmax sounds like your girl

 

Hate to lose the only 16 y/o around here that actually knows something

 

Seems to be alot of 16-18 year olds on here. I didn't see many till I got my max

 

Ehhh...I take those pictures on a stretch where I can see people coming. Notice my flashers are on in the picture. I don't let the photo sessions get TOO risky
Well golly

 

Most of the 16 y/o crowd is on the altezza/N1 style/20hp intake path..

 

As far as I remember, the auto loses around 1.5 seconds on the 0-60mph to the 5-speed

 

stick would own you

 

lol i got a stick, is maxima a match for those bmw 325i and 328i's??

 

I routinely destroy 325i's. But then again, I'm pretty well modded.

 

go find out yourself and then us know

 

hey man i asked the same question to myself last october, i finnally decided i would go auto, it was easier to find, and i thought it was the way to go, now i feel totally different and if given the chance i would get a 5sp in a seccond. also see my sig

 

stock for stock, should be close. but depending on your mods, you should own them. the 330i would own you though

 

I feel the exact same way.

 

ugh another comparison thread.
and chill with the stereotyping.
around here, all the lame altezza/primered hooptie BS i see is owned by dirty lookin older guys. i'm talkin 20^years old. feels nice to have a better car than alot of older people.

 

my tranny seems to be going.. and im too poor fo rnew car.. so im proll gonan get a manual if the tranny is shot

 

Auto is good for me...the Max still has a lot of power and good take off...wait till you get into traffic...on a regular basis...then talk stick...

 

a stick ain't fun when you're doin the I-95 between Boston and NYC

though someday when i have two cars, one of em is d@mn well gonna be

 

So true...

 

Why? It's a pretty accurate stereotype. He said most, not all.

 

Try commuting the I-95 in and out of Boston everyday. You would beg for an auto. Nothing beats my new ride though. 30 mins in, 30 mins out.

 

Yall can keep ya'lls opinions, it doesnt bother me really...i just wanted to state that it is most definently not exclusively something people our age do. Like i said, the rice-iest looking cars i see are owned(or driven) by guys out of their teen-years. anyway, to keep from getting anymore off topic, thats really all i had to say.

 

in the 1/4 mile
my dads max 96 SE auto 15.7@87
my cousins max 96 GXE 5spd 15.5@89
they both had intakes, thats it.

 

Pretty good time for just an intake

 

driver and conditions make a big difference.

 

<------Commits Suicide due to the lack of self esteem created by endless hours of research and .org time and people still call me stupid

 

haha
keep it real, son.

 

Sorry, but not a chance. You can argue until you are blue in the face, but reality is the most riceist looking cars are teenagers. Why? Not alot of money to dump in a car, and usually are driving a car that shouldnt be modded anyways

Ask around here and everyone will admit they did the riciest mods when they were teens...

 

Dont worry, i'm not mr. teenager representative so...i dont care what your opinion is, nor do i care to argue about it. I dont know where you live, so i guess it applies for you. It applies here too, but there is no overlooking the fact that the rice crap definently surpasses the "Teenage years".
again, i'm not worried about it, i dont drive a POS rice-y lookin' car.

 

I admit it, when I had my Altima I put on the "cool blue" lights and thought my car was the ****. I also used to shift it from 1 --> 2 --> D and thought I was driving stick. Two transmissions later, it finally sunk in...HAHAHA...what a moron. Moral: teenagers shouldn't drive.

*EDIT - Moral: teenagers/women shouldn't drive*

 

neither should senior citizens....or at least the ones on the pills and what not.
while we're at it, lets restrict eligibility for a license strictly to people with a decent IQ.
this is way OT.

 

Oh I hear ya. When I lived on Long Island I used to take Northern State from Great Neck to Oyster Bay... took a little over an hour to go 13 miles. and i did that twice a day, five days a week.

 

im sure its faster with the stock one thats in it now.
true, but this is real world driving.... no mag crap for me. at least it was the same track, with about the same amount of gas in the tank LOL.

 

Oh, I'm sure. Stock intake FTW

 

All the fastest Maximas equipped with an intake

I know it's splitting hairs, but ...

 

I drive a near-stock auto 4th gen. Therefore, stock intake FTW

Besides...I want to see one of those fast Maximas dyno with and without an intake and prove to me it's helping them
