0-60 Question
he following quote is in a preview test of teh 2k Max in C&D...The last sentence kindof leaves a little bit of intrigue so I started searching for quicked tests..The quickest 5spd max I found reviewed was at 6.9 sec 0-60...does this make any sense considering the 4th gen car pulled a 6.7 and the power to weight ratio is better in the 5th gen????
...at the track, our early-build test car trailed the old Maxima by a smidge. Its 0-to-60-mph and quarter-mile performance, at 7.0 and 15.6 seconds, respectively, were each 0.3 second off the pace of the last SE five-speed we tested (C/D, January 1996). The new car weighs 175 pounds more, and yet its power-to-weight ratio shows an 11-percent improvement, with virtually no change in gearing, so we expect future examples to improve on that performance.

but I think with 205TQ in the 4th Gen and 217TQ in the 5th, that the TQ to weight ratio is better in the 4th...
just a theory though

You can't go comparing Motor Trend's 6k rpm clutch dropping starts to the granny-shifting methods of Consumer Reports. I think CR is the only magazine to get a near 7-sec 0-60mph for the WRX. Why do they even bother?

for the extra power past 5000 rpm, i think it is compensated by the additional weight of the 5th gens.
in the 1/4 mile, i think the 4th gen has the slightest edge, as opposed to the 5th gen vq30.
