I have a 2000 GXE 5 spd and a heavy foot.
.1 off your 1/4 mile i think is 1 car length..

so for you to have 10 cars on him.. you have to have a car 1 full second faster..

based on hte fact the 2001 5spd GXE and the Acura CL-S can run simular 1/4 mile times.. @ 14.8

that would make your car a 13 second car for sure.. ither that or he was running on 4 spark plugs

This is similar to a post that was made on our local Texas Racing board. This guy with a B16 said he saw a WRX with and described it headed back from San Marcus. He said he beat it by 2 cars! Well, the only WRX at that time was the guy I was drivng back with and following. He didn't race a car at all. ! This guy in the WRX I have knwon for a few years, he runs 12.8 at 105. And this guy with a B16 CRX thinks he can beat it. lol!

Maybe heavily modded 3.0 5-speed can be close to stock 3.5 6-speed, but I don't think so. I used to have 2000 5-speed and this 6-speed is like night and day. This car just got so much more power compared to 3.0 5-speed, especially torque.

firs of all, your 4th gen Max rules...at least over y2k and 2k1 Maxima's...

but, uhhh, I thought we were talking about the guy with a y2k GXE?

that GXE-R guy? right?

That's what this thread is about...right?

wasn't referencing your car, but I was referencing your post because I thought you were sticking up for the GXE-R guy....

Russ, since I know you're here and will read this, and since you pointed to you sig I'll ask now...

why do you list Mobil 1 5w30 as a "performance mod"?

6spd MAx vs auto TL-S or CL-S, the 6spd will walk away.

But add headers to the TL-S or CL-S, its the other way around.

As my sig shows.

I've never seen it listed under "performance mod", only listed as something they have.

I'm not picking a fight or hating, just wondering how oil can enhance performance

The only way he really did it to a true 260bhp CL Type-S is if the Acura wasn't trying...otherwise it was probably an old 2.2CL....which is NOT a CL Type-S...all of the CL-S and TL-S engines put out 260bhp...

Look at the quote below and tell me where he said he put 10 car lengths on the CL-S. Don't see it do you.

So like I said before from what I gather he was 10 car lengths back to begin with. Cause if he thinks he put 10 car lengths on a him then he's smoking something. Y2KMaxGXE-R maybe you can clarify this for us all.

it all depends, as stated, on who dropped to full throttle first .. no one is gaining on anyone at that point...

I see the confusion. He said tailgating, which implies the the CL was right behind him. Then he said the CL was 10 cars back. He seems to suggest that he put 10 cars, but I'm guessing that the CL was tailing him from several cars back. This makes me wonder,then, when a car is 10 cars back, how the hell do you know what it is?? I mean, 10 cars back, you can't tell if it's a CL-type S, a CL type regular, or even a TL. The only way you can tell exactly which car he raced was if he saw the guys taillights.

To what I read, he said the guy was about to pass him in the right lane, and the max shifted down and floored it, and put 10 cars back.
Seems to me the CL-S was not even racing, and when he looked over, he probably was like, what was your problem.

A 6spd MAX vs a CL-S or TL-S auto would be 5 possible. But not a 5spd 2000-2001 Maxima.

This was not one-on-one race from the stop, but the fact that $30K+ CL-S had some big trouble catching up with a cheap $20K GXe 5 spd put a smile on my face. As that Acurah boy drove by, he looked at me and boy you wanted to be there.

Just wanted to share the joy.
ok, sorry man...but it says it plain as day, and I'll start from the beginning of the post to explain what he is saying...

...in red above...is were he says the CL Type-S was TAILGATING him....he even says it's a dark blue one.

so this alone ruins your theory that he started out 10 car lengths behind...dude says he's being tailgated...by a dark blue CL-S...

then in blue he says he dumped it in 3rd, and suggested he was pulling away from the CL-S...which he said a second ago was tailgating him...so he is starting to pull away with the blue highlighted statement.

why would anyone post about beating a car that was already 10 car lengths behind?

in pink is where he says the guyed tried to keep up...this is where Y2KMaxGXE-R suggests he is pulling away from a CL Type-S.

In green is where he says just how far he pulled away....10 car lenghts...after the dude was tailgating him...

1badmax, may I suggest you read over this, and the original post about 10-15 times before responding...to keep yourself from sounding like an...

Dude never said "I pulled 10 car lengths ahead of him" but if you started out with him tailgating you, and ended up 10 car lengths ahead of him, then he sure is suggesting it...or saying it, but just wording it different.

if that doesn't help you understand, I don't know what to tell you. But dude didn't start 10 car lengths ahead.

period.

he really didn't mess himself, it's just an expression...

But I converted this guy from his old Chevy Lumina to a 98 Maxima SE 5 speed...(cloth, no sunroof)

He owes his life to me now.

I don't understand the big deal. Anyone can pull some car lengths on anyone if you catch them unsuspected. Even my wife pulled four car lengths on me in her Sentra SE-R before I realized she was trying to run (I only down shifted to 4th at 60). But easily if someone is unsuspecting, or too lazy to downshift or floor it, it can happen.

you don't even know what we're argueing about...

he is saying that the dude started out 10 car lenths to begin with...and asked me to "show him" where y2k_gxe-r said he pulled 10 car lengths ahead...

I was just showing him were y2k_gxe-r said it...nothing more, nothing less...


and about being able to pull on unsuspecting people...of course you can pull on unsuspecting people...y2k_gxe-r was acting like the acura cl-s was trying as hard as he was...but we all know there is no way he beat a cl-s IF the cl-s was trying to race also...

read all of the posts back and forth between me and 1badmax...then you'll see what our "disagreement" was about...

Maxlover,

I am far from all-mighty, but I appreciate you patronizing me...

I really don't mean to get people riled up...

But we all realize that people can pull several car lengths even with a Geo Metro, if the other person is:

A) Not Trying

AND/OR

B} Unsuspecting

Everyone that is raising the"BS flag on this one think that the CL-S wasn't trying and was unsuspecting...

How else do you explain a 3.0 Maxima leaving a CL-S 10 cars behind?

the kicker: (errrr..why we were making a big deal about this thread)
y2k_gxe-r was claiming the CL-S was trying...you don't post something about blowing the doors off another car, unless you think the other car was trying... y2kGXE-R was trying to pass it off as a real kill...and I am offically calling the B.S. Flag...

-peace my man...

yeah, I killed one on the way to work today...pulled up to him, slowed down...so we'd be at the same speed...then dropped it in third....was moving into forth and approaching 100 before I knew it...

with all the power this car has, I really need to get a better handling suspension...it was good enough for my 4th Gen 1998 Max, but I feel like the suspension can't keep up with the engine on my 2k3...

I understand calling the B.S. Flag. I was just assuming that he belived the guy was trying when he really wasn't (happens to me all the time by grand-am's & other slower cars). But you know what they say when you assume things .
