300z vs. 95' Max??
My friend recently got his 300z and wants to do a drag race. He's a bit upset because he can't peel out in his auto, no matter how he accelerates. Then he drove my Max and peeled out well, now he wants to race.
How will my 95' Max (auto, no performance mods) do against a 300z (auto, no performance mods, no turbo)??

The N/A auto 300ZX's were pretty slow, you will launch better than him, but I would expect him to catch up to you above 85 MPH.
Give it a try and post the outcome

It will be close, I also have a 91 300ZX, but mine is a 5 speed, and it can take my auto 98 max by about two cars.

I just raced a 93 300zx NA at the 1/8th last thursday. We both had horrible times. Given that if my clutch wasnt slipping I should have won.
95 Max
10.3 @ 69MPH (I know, I know its slow. Need new clutch!)
93 300zx NA
10.1 @ 68MPH
These times may not be relevant but to back it up a little, I saw another 300zx same model/year run the same time.
Also, I know normal Maxima's Trap speeds are a little higher in the MPH on average.
I think you should be able to pull on the 300zx. It would make a great race if both of you can drive though!

The 2+2 Z's are slow especially with an automatic. I was at the track on Friday and one of the stock auto Zs was running 15.8s. The Z has 222hp, but weighs in at more than a Max. Just make sure you get a good launch

Is there a 300z and a 300zx? Is the X a trim option? Just curious, and never asked.

Except now, I think they're bringing back the "Z", cuz I believe the new 350 will not be called "ZX".

My god you should have no problem, those cars arent that fast heck back in 92 the Maxima SE surpased it in performance except the TT since its a TT who knows. A stock 95 puts down better 0-60's and 1/4 mile times than Normal 300z's do. With auto to auto you should walk it they are like 8.** to 60 the best I seen for the 5spd was 7.1 sec and they are very heavy much heavier than the MAX and you have more torque but its a TT once again. Comparing old mag numbers the MAx was quicker to 100 than it was as well.

a stock auto NA Z does high 15s in the qtr mile. I haven't seen many (if any) auto Max break into the 15s (low to mid 16s).

I've seen many Auto Max's do low 15's with NA Bolt on Mods....I think someone here actually hit High 14's recently.
And of course, boosted autos are the fastest cars on this board.

Yo, don't really know how an auto Max drives, but to tell you the truth, automatic NA Z's are absolute dogs. They're a joke. I imagine that since the Max weighs alot less, go for it. The last time I had a showdown with a Z was a newer 90's twin turbo (higher spoiler). We both had great launches, though he was ahead of me of course(can Maximas ever launch with authority?). Pretty much, I was on his rear fender all the way up to 75mph. We actually ran into a funeral service pack. Yes, he was trying- wheels chirped through three gears.
Don't underestimate Max's....I've got a mildly modded 5spd, and have hung in there with twin turbos and v8's very much respectedly.
