anyone ever race a mazda millenia?
#1
i have a friend nagging me on to race him in his 96 millenia (auto) VS my 97 maxima SE (stick). Both bone stock. Anyone know what they are like performace wise? I looked but the millenia fans don't have a nice place like here to hang out and give stats so i turn to you guys.
Also, is there an ECU upgrade for the maxima? I never hear it mentioned as a modification when someone asks what they should do next.

You have a MUCH faster car. The Millenia S is a little slower than the auto Maxima, and the 5 speed is much faster than that. The Millenia S has a SC, while the Millenia doesn't.
There is currently no aftermarket proven ECU for the '97, though I believe heston has something in the works.

Haha is your friend on crack? A friend of mine has a 96 Millenia and we have raced, just for fun, because he knows he's going to get his *** beat. It's not even a contest. on the highway I can accelerate past him while he's flooring it and I'm only at about 3/4 throttle. 0-60 times are in the low 8s for the Millenia S, and high 8s low 9s for the Millenia L and Base.

Gawd, have you ever driven a Millenia? My stepmom had one as a rental car and she let me drive it. What a bore. It was a '01 and I have a '97 Max. My car has so much more room inside, handle better, cornered better. These car's really aren't even in the same class!

MedicSonic, You never answered my email. I am just wondering, do you have the "Maxima.org" stickers on both backsides of your car ? Or only 1 sticker ?
As far as comparing the max to a mellinia, that's just embarrassing. Embarrassing for an Auto, and especially you being a 5spd. I'm dissapointed in your lack of faith.

Its not that it is annoying, but EVERYONE has mods, it isn't a race or a parade to show them off with words. Just use a pic or two. As for the pic, use PSP7 from Jasc, Inc., available at www.jasc.com
Remember SprintMax's sig last week with all the OEM mods? That's how your sig looks. BTW, if you have multiple posts in a thread, you can turn off your sig in the reply screen.

millenias
i was looking into millennias a while back... the reason max's will smokem pretty easily is cause they are made to accelerate slowly... like when you gas it, it tries to even everythin out to give you the most comfortable acceleration...
forgot where i heard that... ehh..

Millenia...
I raced a Millenia S in my old 3rd gen, I kept nose to nose with him and then he started to gain just a bit at 60+.
Millenias are heavy. However, I gotta say they look damn good in my opinion. I just saw a NEW Millenia, probably like 2002 or something, it looks smooth.
