2003 Maxima Purchase

Hello,

I'm thinking of purchasing a 2003 Maxima SE 6speed. What does this car run 0-60MPH? I've also heard that above 3rd gear, the car doesn't pull as well. Any remarks to this comment?

Thanks,
Lance

0-60 in 6 flat

Pulls PLENTY past 3rd gear. I think the top speed on it is >140mph for sure (the 6 speed one).

I remember someone posted that they got 155mph out of it. Is that true? Are they governed by a chip? I don't see why the Max wouldn't be able to reach 155mph or so given its power ratings.

seeing as 3rd pulls like a **** up to about 90mph, does it really need to pull after that?

and just to back everyone else, 4th still have a lot of *****, 5th and 6th are highway gears.
