Weight of Maxima

I was wondering how much my 97 SE auto weighs. I've read before that people say their cars are just a bit over like 3200 lbs. I looked by the drivers side door and it said GVWR/PNBV: 4273 lbs. Is this the weight of my car?

Oh I also was wondering why I can't ever redline when I floor it. It seems that when ever I floor it OD or not it gets to about 6200 or 6300 rpms and thats as high as it goes. Thanks for the help

Well in some places Ive seen things like 3270 for the max wait...

As for the redline thing, my brother was once able to slam the redline, but that was when the car was like a year or two old.

thats probably the weight with passengers????


you have to turn off your OD and then put it on 1 and manually shift your auto tranny

6200 is what the ecu is programmed for i believe

GVWR is gross vehicle weight rating, thats the most the vehicle is supposed to weigh with a max load of passengers and cargo. Your 97 SE weighs probably 3150 give or take 50 lbs.
