MAX was 4-0 for the night
Big night for my Max today, went on the highway once and caught 4 races.
First as soon as I get onto 1-9, I speed up quickly and suddenly i see a BMW behind me, 3 series, older body(97 or so).He tailgates me I move over when I see space, he floors it at 60, I punch my third and by 100 I have about 5-6 cars on him.
Right after the BMW another BMW comes up behind me, I let him go in front so I can see what kind it was, it was a red M3, older gen, 97 or so.
So he starts to throw his car around in traffic and I follow, then we took off at about 50,I was 2 cars behind him or so, redlined my second, shifted to 3rd without gaining or losing any distance from him, than when my fourth went in, I started gaining on him a bit, by 120 I was about 1/2 a car behind him. Than after that there was a long curve and he suddenly started slowing down before the curve and I flew by him on the curve, than another straightaway and I kept smoking him.I talked to him after, he was pretty cool, it was a 98 M3, stock, he was alone too, I had 2 people with me.He was very surprised, he told me someone told him the new maximas were fast, but he never thought they could hang with him.I told him I was surprised too.
Than I made a U-Turn and as I am making it I see this 4th Gen Maxima and a old Jetta, GLI 16V, the Jetta most likely had work since everyone around here has work on their Volkswagens, intake and exhaust for sure.But I was stuck at the red light, and had to wait around a minute more until take off, and they had already taken off, So I flew through 1-9 North at 120 until I came up to them at a construction area. I came up next to the Jetta and the girl in the passenger seat waved bye to me, like they were gonna smoke me, he took off with the 4th Gen in front of him on the left lane, I took off on the right lane, and by 100 I was in front of both of them with about 10 on them.
The 4th gen Max was an automatic, and it was a 20 or so year old driving it, she was ugly, too bad...:-)
That was it for the night, I was just happy that the Max can hang with an M3, next time I race one I won't go into it thinking I'm going to get smoked..:-)
I have a 2k2 6spd by the way.

Re: Re: MAX was 4-0 for the night
yeah, even the 240 hp m3's are quicker than our cars. bmw's hp ratings are misleading...why do you think a 255 hp max, and a 225 hp 330 is considered a really good match?

OK, you guys can say what you want, the fact was my 4th started creeping on him.and he slowed down too much for the curve while I took it comfortably with no problem.
I drove for 120 for about 3 minutes to catch up to them, while I was catching up to them there was not one single car on the highway, So I was only endangering myself.
By the way, has anyone on the board raced an E36 M3 besides me?
That's why I hate the Internet, no matter how descriptive you are it's hard for people to picture the situation, if any of you guys were in my car, you wouldn't be scared at all.There were no tight dips between lanes, just straightaway fun with a couple of soft curves.

jcphammer, if you're in the jersey area, i'll show you a couple of tricks.
I know girls who will most likely smoke you on the highway.
My Max wasn't offered to me.I paid for it.I made a couple of decisions when I was 17 and invested my money with my brother, and he almost doubled.
Thank you SprintMax. For a second I thought everyone on the board had just decided to quit messing around on the street and all came down on me, but than again, it was only one guy who has nothing else better to do than come down on my case.JCP, have you noticed how many times you replied to my post?If you open your house door and get out, there just might be a chance you can get laid in the next 10 years.
By the way, did you ever hear of something called an automatic M3?

As for the 2k2 vs an older m3, I've looked at all the #'s and yes, the 2k2 should be fine hanging with one, especially if it's an auto (the m3). Besides, you're talking about a 5 year old car with x amount of miles. Don't be so harsh.
There are better ways to prove your point than to fly off the handle.
I guess you've never driven over 65mph?

Anyone from my area will tell you it's possible on that stretch of road, because that's where everyone goes to max their cars out, 1-9 north from the lights in elizabeth all the way up to the skyway.There's only about 1/2 mile in the middle where u have to slow down.
And I did pull on that M3 on the straightaway and passed him on the curve.

I have seen three E36 M3's run at the track and the fastest one ran a 14.3 et with intake and exhaust. It has been documented that 2k2 6-spds can run low 14s as well. I can't see where it's unreasonable to think a 2k2 can hang with an E36 M3.
M3's are great cars but they are not invincible. You could even say that you have a small chance of beating a E46 M3 if the motor can stay together.

Racing at that speed with so many lives at stake is questionable. But how many of us always made the right decisions when we were 19 or 20 years old?

I have been reading this forum a lot for a while, but i didn't use to post. When the 2000 Maxima didn't have the stock power to go against the E46 330, and E36 M3, you guys were cool with the stories because noone would ever post that they won. Now that the 2k2+ Maxima is putting that much power and the car's weight is unchanged and gearing made better, people are now able to compete with much faster cars that the 2000 used to. IT'S A FACT. Now why is it so hard to believe? Because the car is heavy? I don't understand why you guys are now so quick to jump to the B.S. flag. From what i noticed, the people who don't own the 2k2 maxima jump to the B.S. flag, and the people who do own one know what it's capable of and are reasonable. The people who really go to tracks, and race cars from time to time also recognize the capability of the car.
Nissan would not have made the Maxima able to get to 140+mph in straight aways if the car couldn't do it somewhat safely. The environment would affect a lot of things, but why do you believe that if you thought about it, that the driver didn't think about it.
Guzo took his car to 120mph to catch up to some more fun. OK big deal. It wasn't the safest thing to do, but OK. I drive 80mph average to everyday. Sometimes i go 90mph. So do most people on this forum i'm sure, but you don't hear about it. It's just as dangerous. He mentionned the girl in the 4th Gen max because she was ugly, not because she was driving. I don't care if it's a woman driving, there are a lot of them who can also drive. If she's trying to race, and i'm in the mood, i'll also punch it. The 2 people in the car weren't scared otherwise they would have got on his case about doing so if it was dangerous. I never ride with someone that i know can't drive and is always making dangerous decisions at the wheels. NEVER. Most people are the same. I'd rather drive before i do.
JCPHAMER this is the 2nd or 3rd post i see where you post a comment and all it does is cause some unecessary heated replies. You can get your point across, whether to contradict a post or not, but it doesn't have to be the way you do it. When you post something and call someone else stupid, at least make sure that how you do so shows that your are intelligent yourself. A truly intelligent person never calls someone else stupid. Research that and you'll see that it's true. Someone who refers to name-calling is is one of the worst kind of person there is. When you have a conversation with someone, the worst thing you can do is attack the other party personally, instead of his comment. By reading your posts, it only tells me that you don't know how to type (perhaps other things), you don't know how to get your point across, and you have a very BORING life. I have nothing against you, i don't know you, and it doesn't matter but, you're only creating a bad reputation for yourself. Do you own a 2k2 Maxima or a BMW 3series? If not, then you can't say that what happened was wrong when everyone who owns them tell you that it's easily achievable.
I'm a great driver and i can admit it. Now i've driven a 2k2 Maxima hard, and i've driven a E46 330 hard as well. I tell you, the 330 is harder to drive than the Maxima. You have to be perfect in order to keep up with a Maxima provided the person in the Maxima is a decent driver and don't make mistakes. Now i'm using the 330 as an example because its as fast, if not faster, than the E36 M3. When it comes to highway races, the driver doesn't matter. It's all about the car. By seeing the power of the M3, and the low 0-60mph times, but somewhat high 1/4mile time with such a low 0-60mph time tells me that the car isn't as good at the top end of races. (High speed races). Look at the stock Audi S4. It is very fast 0-60, but look at the 1/4mile. All wheel drive. Does that mean that the maxima can't beat it on a highway race? How about the WRX? Now everyone knows that the Maxima has a good low end, and a very good Top end. That's where the Maxima's true power will show; on a highway race. Do you know of the about the supras? They are not as good off the launch compared to most cars that go against them, but try racing them from a roll. It'll show you something that magazine numbers don't show. Hell try going from 5mph. The Maxima is somewhat like it.
Please quit using magazine times as reference. Use people's experiences and go from there. And QUIT insulting people's intelligence. It only makes you the lower person.
Nissan would not have made the Maxima able to get to 140+mph in straight aways if the car couldn't do it somewhat safely. The environment would affect a lot of things, but why do you believe that if you thought about it, that the driver didn't think about it.
Guzo took his car to 120mph to catch up to some more fun. OK big deal. It wasn't the safest thing to do, but OK. I drive 80mph average to everyday. Sometimes i go 90mph. So do most people on this forum i'm sure, but you don't hear about it. It's just as dangerous. He mentionned the girl in the 4th Gen max because she was ugly, not because she was driving. I don't care if it's a woman driving, there are a lot of them who can also drive. If she's trying to race, and i'm in the mood, i'll also punch it. The 2 people in the car weren't scared otherwise they would have got on his case about doing so if it was dangerous. I never ride with someone that i know can't drive and is always making dangerous decisions at the wheels. NEVER. Most people are the same. I'd rather drive before i do.

max vs bmw
sorcereur,
you make several fine points, however, after driving a BMW 330i hard, I am extremely suprised that you found it harder to drive than the maxima. My experience has been completely opposite, as my previous car was an E46 3-series with the sports package. I now have a 6-speed 2002 maxima and find that it performs very proficiently in a straight line, but when pushed hard into corners, and especially when exiting under full throttle that the max gets a bit twitchy (despite HLSD). I still feel that under dry circumstances, rear wheel drive is always preferable to front wheel drive, and the 3-series should definetly have an advantage here. As far as the M3 vs Max debate, it would take one hell of a driver to keep up with an manual M3 on track. The power to weight ratio may be similar but the suspension/braking setup ot the M3 is superior, not too mention a 50:50 fore to aft weight distribution. The inherent value of a quick suspension and powerful brakes are often overlooked in favor of increased horsepower, but easy tweeks to both of these will post dramatic gains at a track often superior to that achieved by our beloved bolt-ons. The max is a great car, I love the added room and the low end torque, but its not a track car. The M3 was designed more for this purpose, which is explained by its hefty price increase. As far as doing 120 on the interstate, it is stupid, no way around it. During my few months of emergency medicine/trauma surgery of 4th year medical school I saw so many people come in dead due to these type of incidents that it is hard to make a case for it being anything other than a bad move. Its also sad to note that many time the people who end up dead were not the ones driving excessively. It only takes one blown tire at 120mph and a maxima with 3 other passengers goes a rolling. You won't walk away froom that. But as I'm doing a residency in orthopaedic surgery, feel free to do it, I'll throw a rod down each one of those busted femurs, slap a couple of plates on the broken forearms, and let the neuro surgeon worry about your squashed melon. You guys are great for business. Later.

What you did is bad, just don't do it again. That being said, when I was younger, I did the same things. I don't find it hard to believe at all that he at least kept up with the M3. I used to think I owned the road when I was 17 and had a 1985 RX7. I used to race a friend who had a 1987 Supra and was able to stay with him. Unfortunately, I too was going 120mph around a slight curve/corner in wet conditions. I soon learned that my car wasn't the best handling as I lost control and flipped 3 times. My passenger and myself weren't harmed. The car was broken in a V shape at the doors. The police officer took my story that someone ran me off the road and said, "son, I know you were racing, but the way I figure it you learned your lesson. The punishment your gonna receive from your parents will be more than enough to satisfy me." I'm lucky to be here today. This can happen on a track, but it's less likely to. Congrats on the kills.

Let me tell you, I drove a 328i for 2 years and it would out-handled almost any Max around. If the M3 didnt want to hit the corner it was because it was too dangerous. Your lucky you didnt kill yourself. You will never outhandle a german vehicle. Please get that into your head because, at 19 y/o, your parents will wish they never gave you that car after you kill yourself in it. Plus, you are putting the lives of everyone else on the road in danger by driving like an a$$hole. I really do hope that you dont have to learn a lesson the hard way, $hithead.

Guzo is an example of inexperience and dispite what some of you say, big ***** or "inexperienced *****". Odds are he will find someone with the same problem and there will be a disaster.
I have been on this forum for a while and have seen at least 10 boasters sign off after a bad wreck or loss of license. Check out the recent Ming post where he killed someone. In every case they realize too late that they were trying too hard with bad odds.
I hope the smarter guys will learn by example not by experience.

But the stretch between Newark and Jersey City is fair game. I still haven't had the chance to run my Max on this stretch. Since they restructured the road, its a nice piece to kick-it on. (When I used to work at Hertz, we used to tear this road up early on Sunday mornings)
Hey quansung, I'm originally from Roselle. (Graduated Abraham Clark HS in 1986...oops..showed my age

I honestly do not know why the M3 slowed down that much, any of these guys from the area that the long curve after the budweiser factory leading to the lights about 1/4 mile ahead is not sharp at all.I think he slowed down for fear of cops since after the curve there are gas stations and fast food joints and such.I took the curve, passed him on the curve and immediately after passing him I started slowing down for the lights.
I know racing isn't the safest thing to do.
My passengers were well aware of what was going on, they are always ready to see some higher speeds.
If I wanted to do speed limit all the time, I would've bought a Corolla.
