ima seriously!

 

ummmm, the maxima... everyone knows the Shuttle does about .5 an hour

 

That's not the space shuttle

 

I'd say it comes down to the driver. Some of those NASA guys are up there in years and fall a asleep at the helm, so who knows. The mufflers on that shuttle are a great performance mod too, at least 50,000 lbs of thrust per if he's got the Greddys.

I say they set up a race around the moon and back, that'll settle the debate.

 

 

Race and find out!

 

 

How am I going to get behind the wheel of the space shuttle.

Dumb-butt!

 

considering the maxima doesnt fly, you're going to have to race on the ground... if you want to move it on the ground.........

 

Shuttle has wheels does it not?

Don't try to backtrack Tim, I have you! heh

 

Ah, sure.. but you'll need fuel? dont think it will roll with the tanks... so that leaves you to push it... how many horsepower are you again?

 

Tim, light off the liquid fuel and see of the wheels roll. Roll or no roll, I'm quite certain the shuttle will be moving

So if we race the maxima and the shuttle wheels don't turn, it a race from a roll or from a skid?

 

Shuttle comes with Michelin's stock. 02 has those damn Potenzas. So advantage goes to shuttle.

Is the shuttle fully loaded? and is the Max an auto?

 

Hmm...this is definitely gonna be close. Probably down to driver, yeah. Lemme model this in CarTest2000 to see which is favored

 

aahahaha!

 

Shuttle is what... 1 speed? Max has a 6 speed... WHat kind of question is this.. I thought you moderators would know better. Have you not seen the Advertisement of the Maxima turning into a comet and running neck and neck with a fighter pilot?

 

Well, if that 2k2 commercial says anything about this question. I think the Max will win.

We all know those shuttle pilots tend to daydream about driving the Maxima all the time

 

Have you heard that NOS is now a co-sponsor of NASA? Look for NOS and type R stickers at the next launch. I heard they had problems until they moved to the 12.00" jet.

 

Yeah, and they got those damn humongus wings on the back end of the thing too! Total rice! Plus, the chassis dates back to the early '70's- way out of date in the handling department.

Speaking of Maxima commercials - remember the one about the UFO sightings at Roswell, NM? Everyone knows those UFOs (Maximas) travel faster than light so my guess is that the shuttle is gonna be TOASTED, especially if it looses some of those ceramic tiles on the hull prior to re-entry. (and we Maxima owners think we have problems with our paint chips!....)

 

whoa wait a second...am i the only member who thinks the space shuttle will beat the maxima?

 

i dont know whats goin on here, but comon out of all the things that u can post!......a space shuttle v.s a 2k2 max? wtf? now ive seen everything that a max can be compared to.

 

what about an 02 Max vs Ditka

Ditkas' wearing nikes.

I say Ditka wins by 2 car lengths.

 

The Max will blow the shuttle away off the line.. but will be left behind once the shuttle reaches it's 17,500MPH orbital speed..

 

I can't wait to get the carbon fiber front cap for my space shuttle. Also I have twenties on it too.

 

You should really do a search on this. Come on guys, how many times has this come up in the last week? Sheeesh!

 

Like most flying things the 0-60 tims are slow but 60+ is fast. I think a saw(Speed Channel} a 2k2 vette beat a fighter jet to 60 by alot.

 

 

 

It was a Lingenfelter tuned TT Corvette and the jet was slightly slower than a fighter jet. Though it was a very remarkeable race to say the least

 

Those space shuttles are SLOW off the line. You would blow it away in the 1/4 mile. However, on the Milky highway, you'd be looking at taillights (do they have taillights?).

BUT...if you both started out in space and got a push towards the ground, I think it'd be fairly close...until you turned into a Maximelt.

Tony

 

Mmmmmmm, maximelt... oh wait, that's not a sandwich is it?

 

Been there and done that... I kicked it's ****!!!

 

Just don't get stuck in his draft (What's that burning smell?)

 

0-10mph you win, 0-1000000mph the shuttle wins

 

Actually we could probably take it in the quater mile seeing as how long it takes to actually gain momentum from T = 0

 

wait til i tell all my friends! bragging rights to all maxima owners!
