Duh!
Show me a Max owner who has $30K in mods not including stereo/multmedia? How much do you think Kev has spent? $30k? No where near that....

Another issue here may be traction. The BMW can easily put down the power it has, whereas the maxima will be struggling for traction much worse (fwd) (all weight transfers off of the drive wheels
) I think in real life the BMW would still win, maybe not by much, but would win nonetheless.Just my .02.

If I had a new M5, I would not fear some modded out guy in a 5th gen Max. I would be able to afford an expensive BMW that can make a Maxima look like CRAP, inside and out. If for some strange reason a Max beat me in the 1/4 , a simple trip to Dinan, and some Drag Radials.. would make any Max, even one that you guys suck up to.....LOSE !

because thats pretty cheap if you did and also.. did you factor in clutch.. UDP.. parts.. tranny.. shifter.. shift *** and all the other stuff with that tranny upgrade price? because that would also be very cheap for 3k

$200 for two front rotors
< $100 for the brake lines
$200 for Porterfield pads and fluid
Tranny price does not include clutch, flywheel, and sts (includes everything else).
Cannot disclose clutch price... let's say $3XX
$509 for UR flywheel
$68 for STS
$3XXX means three thousand something-a-rather, not $3000.

Those are two of the cars I would just leave along and not mod it at all if I could afford them.

It would be pretty embarassing to Go to Dinan and have to answer:
Dinan: "Hi! What made you come to us today?"
Kloogy: "Ah a maxima just beat me in the 1/4"
Dinan: "WTF?"
Aren't M5s close to $80-$90 grand now?

He didn't pay 30k.
He didn't pay 24k.
But he didn't pay 18k either, which you said he did with your MAD accounting skillz?

Take the time and read the thread! The $6K off is on the $30,000 (aznwonton estimate) not the $24,000 (sprintmax's estimate) both of which are high... Mr. Mad Accountant!

Bottomline is he didn't anywhere near $30,000 for his mods which is the point that sprint was trying to contradict.

BugNout seems a bit jealous.. and i didn't list all of kev's mods.. i just listed the ones i had and idea about.. and the question was has he spent $30k in mods not if he has $30k of mods on his car and from the fact he has done all the otehr stuff and if you include 2 sets of rims.. he is at 30k.. man don't be mad because someone's ***** is bigger than yours

If you guys want to get excited check out The Audi RS 6 which is based on the A6 and has 450 hp and a six speed.(Google)
The fact that someone spent too much money on a Max is somewhat unfortunate.
In addition to my Max the Corvette is a much better investment (not great) for fast.

Once I'm 40, hell yeah I'd get a C5, but until then, it's gotta haul all my **** around and still be moderately quick.
Lucky combo for you though!

By the way i'm new to posting on this forum. Been reading for a while and couldn't help on this subject. Have you guys read the articles where every German tuners take the M5, change the intake of the car and the exhaust and get an instant 500hp?
The M5 intake is very restrictive supposedly and is shaped oddly to go around the engine. Maybe purposefully but who knows. I'm going to try to find some of those articles.
The famous M5 i'm thinking of is black, it has 2 holes cut out of the front bumper to accomodate for the new intake. Now i have to find it again because it was all they did to the car. Change the intake and exhaust and they got ~100hp instantly.
Boy i'm going to get flamed for this
. But oh well, it doesn't stick to me.

That'd be one hell of a performance mod...... Kinda gives you an excuse to buy an M5.
