funny story from last night (with a question)
Imma shorten this up cuz I should be at work right now.
Basically me and the lexus owner (the guy I'm racing) go to our friends shop. He's doin work on his car blah blah blah. This buick (like 2000ish) supercharged (the like stock 3800 v6 I think it was a park ave or a regal (I think regal)) pulls up and we start talking (please note this a 100% stock car) he's talking specs about his and I'm talking specs about mine and he says "my car does 280hp stock" now if there was a time to yell bulls*it and point at it that would have been the time. So I'm scratching my head at it agreeing with it as I let him talk more. Then I thought about it and I was like let's run it at the track b4 it closes for the season. Everyone and there momma was like "oh sh*t he's gonna destroy you (note 100% stock). So now for the question
(Please don't bash and post random things I'm just looking for direct information and specs) (please again don't post random things that have nothing to do with my question)
a stock (100%) buick supercharger at 280hp? Is this true I looked it up and it produces 240hp
(Please don't say race and find out we are I'm once again looking for specs)
(I'm not stock) but stock vs stock 4th gen maxima vs buick sc what's the odds look like ( please dont...nevermind)
And anything else you find HELPFUL feel free to post. Thanks in advance I'm going back to work lol

I never said anything about a street race or did the part about meeting at the track get skipped?
I figured I would get these types of comments from asking a simple question. Why waste your time downing me for asking about things on a forum I don't know about? If a mod feels as tho I shouldn't be asking this type of question then just lock the thread and ill ask somewhere else.

Well gotta take in the wieght of the buick. If it is truly stock it would weigh just over 3500lbs which would be like 500-600 lbs over a maxima. I ran one when I was pre-00vi and just had an intake and ypipe and was ahead by .23 seconds
also according to http://www.netcarshow.com/buick/2001-regal/ 1/4 mile times for stock are just under 15 which could easily be in the range of a lightly modded max

See I'm a new maxima owner coming from owning a monte carlo and driving a damn honda. I see a lot in these cars and came to this fourm and seen the type of performace these car do and seeing my neighbor have one and so I got one. I'm not a mechanical type of person imma electronics person so when I ask questions about specs from a maxima which I'm sure 80% of you have owned for years so you guys know more than me I shouldn't be getting everyones bs and **** talk about simple questions its simple just answer the question or don't bother with the thread. How asking specs on my car vs another is a stupid question is beyond me.
#12
dont worry about them dude. mad people on this board WANT to be smart, so they talk **** on anyone that they see is new because new usually = dumb question. just ignore them and hopefully people will actually talk about what you asked.
#13
I wonder if anyone actually read the full story?
I don't care about anything else but the numbers and specs. Don't give me the whole "buick is gonna kick your a*s when I'm asking stock for stock spec questions because end of the day its all fun to me. I swear some of you are worse than 12 year olds on xbl/psn

His 240hp to the crank vs. your 190hp to the crank but he's a couple hundred pounds heavier. Factor in weight and percentage lost through the tranny and figure it out.
Sounds like it'll come down to the driver.

You said and your buddy in the lexus who you were going to race were talking, and a buck pulled up. Made me think you were on the street at a light or something. Saw the thing about track racing further down.
#22
are you guys kidding me? you mean to tell me out of all these post only one person has took the time to give me information im looking for? you mean to tell me you guys have nothing better to do but sit online and wait for someone to ask what appears to be a stupid question to you but a serious question to them and talk down on them like your king ****? i sat and read all of these post and half of you didnt even read the damn post you seen the word "race" and assumed "oh **** this guys is talking about street racing lets get em" "the lexus owner (the guy im racing" was from a former post when i made it known that i was looking for specs on it and that we were goin to the track to run it. seriously i dont care what type of damn day your having go punch a damn trash can but dont sit online and talk crap and be smart asses about things that are simple.
#23
or did you miss the part where we were at the garage? READ THE WHOLE POST NEXT TIME!
#25
i was thinking the same thing that the weight factor would be a issue. im not stock i have some work done but its always a whole lot easier to get facts when you just talk stock for stock thank you for shining some light on this thread

What specs are you asking about anyway? You want to know how much hp your car got simple answer 190. You want to know how much hp the buick got you looked it up yourself didn't you. What do you want to know, what are specs? DO you even have any idea what the word specs mean, doesn't look like it? You sound like a 10 yr old trying to get attention that's why instantly everyone gave you this reaction.
Plus there are 100,000 threads and dynos on this forum clearly in the stickies that have damn near have a answer to every question you can think of. Plus have you ever been to the track? There is lots of factors that can change the results.

What mods do you have done? 5spd or auto? I'm guessing you have experience at the track? What about the guy with the Buick? Is his stock? I'm guessing his is auto.

Its not that nobody read what you said its that you asked some really stupid questions. "will my car beat blah blah blah" is so immature, really? You can't be serious with this thread at all.

What do you want to know, what are specs? DO you even have any idea what the word specs mean, doesn't look like it?

im tired of everyone talking **** about ANY ****ING THREAD THAT IS MADE. JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE. this is a message board, its not ONLY there for people to create an account and solve a problem. youre supposed to be able to make THREADS.
second, what would i be butthurt about dude? i do PLENTY of **** talking on this board. PLENTY. but theres a point where youre just talking **** for NO reason. at least have a purpose.
#32
first off, the dude said clearly he is not a stock maxima. so why is everyone assuming he has 190 hp? his question may not be awesome, or anything you care about or are interested in, but you know what?

First of all, the problem is with all these dumb threads is, they clutter the forums and "poof" go all the info filled threads, that's why a lot of links in the stickies point to the wrong thread (a different useless one) or don't work.
Second of all, you clearly just proved your butthurt with that response. Why you think talking **** and swearing like an immature little girl makes you not butthurt is strange to me....oh wait no its not all you butthurt immature kids do it

a simple google search would have provided you with the answer to your question, but you couldnt do that.
"The 1995 VQ30DE (3.0 litre) engine produced 190 hp (142 kW) and 205 lb·ft (278 N·m) of torque. With the manual transmission 0-60 mph took 6.6 seconds with a quarter mile time of 15.2-seconds at 92.4-mph."
Referring to a GTP(sorta of the same car) "Factory-provided acceleration numbers put the GTP at 15 seconds flat in the quarter mile, or a full second quicker than its 16 key competitors. The claimed 0-60 mph time is 6.5 seconds,"
so theres your answer, and why you received ****ty answers, because you could have found them yourself

Looked up engine information or both cars I wanted to know stock vs stock as stated in this thread I was just trying to compare information with other maxima owners. There's no guessing game because I'm comparing a stock car to another seriously had I thought that coming to this site and seeing how nice these car really are and deciding to get one and join a community with other people who feel the same way would lead to this type of bull**** and ignorance I would have thought twice. Hope everyone had/has fun with the smart *** post they made. Mods can lock the thread I'm beyond done here...

nobody is forcing you to be here :hides:
honestly, you ask an a question that the answer was EASILY findable.
Back about 6 years ago when the OG's were more active and stuff the would flame the **** out of stupid stuff. I personally went through a ton of it between (name, name and name) for asking questions and stuff about either easily findable or plain ratarded stuff BUT dude its the internet, everything is not taken with 110% seriousness. Maybe 5% seriousness (once you learn this your life will be smoother). Just mellow out, your days will be easier.
