A Saturn???

I drive a 95 Gxe AUTO..I have a friend that wont stop with all the trash talk..He drives a 94 SATURN SL2 AUTO 4DR. Hes bone stock...I mean, I know Maximas dont look like they're that fast, but they arent slow cars at all.Should i just destroy him... or are those cars even worthy to mess with a MAX???

'94 saturn SL2:

Weight: 2314 lbs.
Base Engine Size: 1.9 liters
Base Engine Type: Inline 4
Horsepower: 124hp @ 5600 rpm
Torque: 122ft-lbs. @ 4800 rpm

I agree: it's a waste of gas (124HP vs. 190HP). Given, the Saturn has a 700-800 lb advantage, but that's 65+ HP he's giving up, and an even bigger TQ disadvantage. He really doesn't stand a chance, but if the guy just won't shut up...

I drive a VG auto. I can kill a Saturn. Therefore, the VQ will destroy one. Have fun.

Yes, if he's stock you will destroy him. But.... there's a few out there that have an L67 swap (Supercharged 3.8L) and they'll rape you in a not so nice way. 2300 lbs and about 300hp = DEAD Maxima!

But, if he's stock like you said, don't bother. or just race him for a tank of gas Then you'll win all sorts of ways!

Why would anyone ever want to bother to do that with a Saturn? Ugh. I wouldn't take the time to put a new radio in a Saturn, nevermind an engine.

You can't be serious... I could beat those things easily back when I had my Altima, and it was just a little 2.4L DOHC 4 cyl stock. A Max should wipe the floor with it...

People who have to race or get insulted when someone says something negative about their car obviously have an extremely small *****.

No. Show me a post where I asked if I should race another car and ask if I could beat it.

Show me a post where I was insulted when someone said something bad about my car.

I seem to remember you getting a bit peeved when I metioned that you can't powershift your automatic. Actually, you were quite upset with me.

Oh, you mean this thread?: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?threadid=97039

I was not "quite upset" ... and it wasn't about insulting my car or about me racing. It was about my knowledge of cars and my ability to moderate. And in fact, almost everyone in that disagreement was on my side and agreed that my misuse of one word did not in any way diminish my ability to be a moderator.

But of course, as usual, the facts always get in the way of the truth.

So because more people sided with you that makes you right? Of course they side with you, you're a moderator and people like to kiss the "god mods" asses! And you were talking about powershifting when racing, so it did have to do with you racing your car. Though it was not in the same context as this thread, I will give you that.

I misused one word. Hmmmm ... guess I'm not a robot and that I'm human and I make mistakes. That still does not diminish the fact that misusing a word makes me any less of a moderator.

I said it then and I'll say it now. If the requirement for being a moderator means that you must know everything single tiny little detail about the Maxima and know every single correct term for everything, then nobody can be a moderator.

You have never misused a word before? Never made a mistake?

Please, go look in the dictionary and look up the word "moderator". Tell me where in the definition, it says that a moderator must be a fountain of knowledge and must know everything and be correct 100% all the time.

People like to side with the moderator and kiss our asses? Please. Every day we get blasted for stupid crap. Like this assinine conversation for instance. "God mod"? Did you not kingrukus's comments? People on this board flame and disrespect us moderator's every single day and what do we do? Nothing. Go read Bill's response in the Feedback forum about how respected us moderators are and how people kiss our ***.

You think any other site would allow for the constant barrage of crap we get?

I made a mistake. I misused one word. That made me a bad moderator. Pfffft ... some logic you got there.

Never called you a bad moderator in this thread. So why that was brought back up I don't know. I was referring to you getting razzed and upset in that thread about racing and the terms that go with it backing up my comment "calling the kettle black"

Yep, I know of plenty of them, I post there as well. I post here because I have a Maxima, I post other places for other reasons.

Anything else you wanna know?

And yes, I've misused plenty of words, and as opposed to arguing about it, I move on and let people say what they want.

geesh... calm it down there... I was JUST kidding. Notice the sarcastic smilie face next to what I said? People who have to make negative remarks about other people's penises obviously are extremely insecure about their own.

did i read somewhere that one of the new saturns runs high 15's? i don't remember it that well though so might be wrong.

hah while we're on saturns, i thought my friend was the only weirdo to "pimp" out his saturn. has good system in it but bought chrome hubcaps and wrote powered by saturn across the windshield. he also tinted it...anyways there is another kid in my town that has one of those huge terminator wings on the back that are like $350 unpainted and has a huge coffee can fart muffler on the back...and i saw two more riced out saturns recently....weird wylde stuff.

I find it funny how you "move on", and yet you again bring up the 5 month old thread.

I read that thread. I don't know you or clee, and kissing clee's *** won't do anything for me but get **** on my face. That being said, you were being an ***.

Lol, i've been there before and i know what you mean... There's some bastard over there with a skunk looking Intrepid (black with white stripes) that thought he was all that... Heheh, i've got some mods coming, but no performance ones yet, you'll see them next time you come up...

He asked for an example, so I gave him one. That was the only reason that it was brought up.
