a stock 99 maxima SE versus a stock 2001 v6 honda accord??? who will win??

 

In 99% of cases (thanks alot Clee ) the Maxima.
-Cyrus

 

I lost, yes. I accept that. And I'm not making up excuses, however, I will point out that I had another person in my car and my hood was open a little causing wind resistance. Maybe I would have won if I was by myself and my hood was closed all the way... but I'll never know now.

 

Maximas will get beaten because.. we only THINK we are fast.. when in reality we could get smoked by most 4-banger 5spds

The accord will wipe the floor with you.

 

Maybe you just THINK that because you are slower that you sister's stock Maxima.

I've made revisions to that thread I hope you know

 

my friends dad had a 2001 accord v6 ... it was quick but it's about a 1000 pounds heavier than the max .. so ya never know

 

just wondering, how much do you think the max and the accord weigh, respectively? Does your friend's dad drive around with concrete blocks in his trunk? There's no way a stock Accord is 1000 pounds heavier than the Maxima..

 

I agree - it's more like 500lbs to 700lbs heavier.

2001 accord v6 coupe - 3283 lbs.

2001 accord v6 sedan - 3329 lbs.

they're 200hp, 195 lb/ft torque..

I've heard they can keep up with an automatic 4th gen maxima.. If so, that VTEC really makes up for the extra 300 or so pounds over the maxima..

 

As long as you get the jump and stay on it you will win!

 

unfortunately i must agree...the only difference is that we look good in the race..oh and next time get the well fed people out

 

hehe after saying "I'm not making up excuses", you give us a bunch of excuses.

The curb weight of the maxima is 3001 lbs the accord is about 100lbs heavier

 

You'll have the advantage for a while because of our torque and wider band. However, as the race goes on that advantage will become much smaller (stupid vtec).

 

Ra1max, thats a good way to put it!

 

I have a 1995 GLE, and I raced my friends 2001 accord V6 a couple times. The main race was from 0-about 90, and it was pretty much dead even. I was stock back then, and so was he. i'm sure with brake torqing and my intake, i could pull about a car or two on him.
