What is comperable performance wise to a 1998 Maxima?
See I come from owning a 300ZX and I'm wondering what performance bracket the Maxima is in. Something similar to 300ZX vs Supra, what would the Maxima be compared to?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Well if your 300zx was a non turbo, then the Maxima is gonna be faster. If you were twin-turbo'ed, then

Dont forget 97-01 5 speed v6 Camrys, especially the CE models which weigh almost the same as the base model Maximas. You guys seem to forget about Camrys for some reason. Of course the new Max's blow the new Camrys out of the water. But until the 5th gen's were released they were always neck and neck.
Your right its not comparable. I would never compare a RWD v8 to a FWD v6. Although ive beaten a few impalas in my car (auto v8 to 5 speed v6 and i didnt toast em), ive also seen one run 11's all motor with slicks. The LT1 has way more potential than any of our engines even though its not as "technologically advanced" as a lot of import owners suggest. Even though its a cheaper feeling car and less reliable, the question was for performance and i think the Impala takes any FWD car just for the fact that its RWD with a V8

ohhhhh if you have an auto max you can forget the Buick Park Avenue Ultras, ummmm you'll get smoked by a Buick Roadmaster (MT tested a '95 at 0-60 in 6.7)
'95 Cadillac Fleetwoods with the LT1s may give you a run for your money... you'll get smoked by Devilles... Concours or not... Sevilles will roast you
the new Escalade will hang with you atleast watch out for the Chevy Silverado RWD pickups with the 5.3L
happy hunting!

Also, remember Ryan asked "What is comperable performance wise to a 1998 Maxima?"
Anyone ever raced an Impala SS?

The SS? The SS looks nothing like the 4th gen max. I think you may be thinking of the newer 99 and up Impala's. Those are useless.
