My neighbor has a drag car using a later model Malibu V8. Runs just in the 10's but it's not a street car.

Old GF's dad had a V8 Malibu(skyblue). It was pretty fast. 1980s or early 90s vintage.

Yeah they could be fast, but those just aren't my style. Forget about the turns in those cars. Newer Malibu? The one w/ the freaky Skyline type rear lights? Man how hideious is that?

Honestly, if I had the urge to go fast in a straight line, the GN would be my choice. Or maybe a Chevy 350 in a 240z or something.

 

They arent terrible but they can't touch anything on a Maxima.

 

true dat, no doubt..i wouldn't drive a gran damn though

 

yea I saw a 240Z with a chevy 350 in it.. beautiful ran some great times too
Well my project is an SR20DET 240SX a drifters dream I used to have one before I sold it and got the Maxima

yup the Malibu.. actually its the Impala with the dual rear circles... the Malibu is the budget Camry but it has a 170hp 3.1L V6 standard... a few bolt ons and i'm sure I could make a few .org members feel a little bit less quick to call American cars crap...

 

240sx? Man put the sr-t into a Datsun 1200. Solid rear axle and 1300 lbs.
I would love to get a old RX3 or RX4 and put a bone stock 255hp 13b turbo or even a Japan only 12a turbo in it.

FJ20-T in a Datsun 1600 Roadster would be very cool.

 

Jeff you don't care about style at all, do you

 

Who cares about style when you are the one counting the moolah?

 

i used to own a grand am (yes yes i know the car sux), anyways it was a 3.1 liter v-6 and my 1996 i30 would put it out, from 0-30 or 0-100. the fourth gen max and infiniti will beat the **** out of that rattle box of a plastic car

 

haha yea but I figure if I buy a cheap 240SX for a couple Gs... and get hooked up with the SR20DET... it'll cost me not too much moolah... plus a lil style always helps =)

 

a friend of mine has a 99 grand am gt, and to tell you the truth, it looks nice, from the outside. i saw a black gt with chromies and i thought it looked really sharp, so in my opinion, the gt(which has a different front and rear bumper from the other grand am's) looks good, but the interior is nasty, yuck! i can'r stand the interior, the first time my gt friend sat in my car he went, "DAMN! this is sweet!", he loved the dash, and he loved that i can chirp the tires, for some reason, he cant do it in his car. he's not like a lot of people out there, he knows that his car isn't the best thing, especially in build quality, but he also knows that he can get american cars for a good price, he bought his car used in the summer of 2000, it had something like 20k miles on it, and he paid $15k, not bad, its kinda hard to find a max thats less than a year old for that price. there is no problems with his car yet, it has 50k miles on it now, so i guess the reliability isn't bad. however, i dont think i would buy that car because of the interior, i just cant stand it, sorry, my opinion.

btw, my friends gt has traction control, its a $20k car when new, my gxe was $23k, why doesn't nissan put a traction control std on their flagship?

 

Probubly for the same reason they gave us multi-link beam suspension

 

and 15"ers on the GXE with hubcaps... as well as the beautiful paint that Nissan gives us... thank you Nissan

 

i can't tell how the paint is on my friends gt, cause its white, but i bet its better than mine, and my car has only 12k miles on it

 

i'll live with the paint and take my VQ, please!

 

The RAM AIR Grand AM GT does high 15s stock in the 1/4. I suggest you re-think what you said. They are very quick for the V6 auto.

 

Bro I edited that post like 2 days ago. Did you like save it in your desktop and just now reply ?
