I have a 96 Maxima and I have alot done to it. Such as exhaust, rims, and other stuff. Well, I raced my friend that has a Grand Am. When I first raced him I killed him because it was a long road. But when we went to a parking lot, his car killed mine. My car reacts late for some reason. It doesn't kick in for a while. What should I do to make it faster? Does anyones maxima do the same?

 

Auto, Manual?

if auto, HAI or CAI?

do you know how to drive?

 

Transmission fluid mabe needs to be toped off?

 

what kinda rims

 

^^- yeah some big heavy chromes will slow you down.....

 

grand am kept up with me one time....but i didn't even know that he
wanted to race...i was jus driving normally
wat else do u have on ur car?

 

pontiac engines generally have short low gears, thats the reason why they own us off the line sometimes

 

I notice the maximas power isnt exactly expressed off the line anyway, but u have those damn chrome rims which give u good traction but weigh u down. before i got my maxima i drove around my moms 99' grandprix se, only 200hp and weighs like 400lbs more than the max, but it still would kill me off the line regaurdless.... although if u give me .0043 seconds im already 2 cars ahead

 

I have enkei 5 plus and it is auto. My friends is auto with an intake. My car is really slow off the line. I am gettin an intake this week, so i hope that helps me off the line. Don't you guys get the same effect on your cars?
