really... even at 265 hp thats nothing.. thats like what... a cold air intake, street tuned, and a full exhaust.. at best .. and yet i still want it.. just not for that price.. sadly enough it would end up being a donor car lol

but with CAI and full exhaust (headers, test pipe, full pipe to a good muffler) you could prolly get maybe 15-20hp with exhaust and maybe 10 with a good CAI (or maybe im being too generous)
so best case scenario 30 hp with just those and the 4th gen came from factory with 190 @5600 RPM and 205 @ 4000 RPM with it being bone stock

I'm pretty sure the REAL maxima used in that movie was a 5 speed, and had OEM tails, not altezzas..

copy and paste lol

To bad you can't fit a Viper V10 under the hood to match the rest of the Viper inspired paint and hood.

Do some research because it might take me a while to explain but drag racing cars have an advantage with automatics. Just because auto's aren't fun doesn't mean they don't work. And you've never seen this maxima? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0Rj76q5Vyw

If this is the actual car used from the movie. Then, it's not about getting a good deal on a supercharged 98 maxima. Just a cool collector's item.

FWI, they had like 3 or more of some of the cars in f&f. so all of the above is correct, if your not looking at the "hero" car, your probably looking at a cheap double.

it could still be real, but he could have changed those things out himself. its from 2001, he might have actually been stupid enough to daily/continue trying to mod it, added a different exhaust, wheels. etc since the originals are old as ****.

LOL every car in that movie had colored flex-hose wrappings and no mods.

Actually that TEG is worth that IMO. True GSR souped up, plus the fanfare for 22k? Sounds very reasonable, that listing is not one I'd compare to the Maxima that was shown in, what, 3 seconds of the movie, and is still not that fast or agile.

I sent the seller some questions about visible differences between this car and the car on screen. I also linked him to this thread in case he wants to chime in.

for the sake of argument lets sa you had 45,000 to spend on a car.

option 1-buy that one so you can have a car thats sort of famous, but due to the weight and current draw of the audio gear, wont be that fast, and will burn through alternators.

option 2-buy a brand new maxima, witch has a waranty, as well as an engine that produces 290 hp and doesnt have 900lbs of added weight to slow it down

option 3- spend that 45 grand on modifications for your own maxima, turning it into a road dominating monster.

option 4- twinkies. lots of twinkies
