Motor Trend got 142 out of a 95 Max SE 5spd, and raved about it how it just won Car of the year and now it supprised them even more. Since I got mad hookups at Nissan- used to work there, I will test out a 03 Max on the highway and let ya all know what it does- I drove a 02 Auto SE- hated it compared to my 5spd 01... it was slooooow. I know for a fact that all Maximas with Auto Trannies stop at BUCK THIRTY. **** mine would shut off at 135 on the speedo- yet my scan tool- bling bling PalmPilot interferrance... would say 130MPH on the VSS. It lets off till 125MPH and goes full speed up to 135MPH. It feels like hitting a rev limiter in 1st gear in a 5spd or 6spd- its pretty voilent- but I dunno about yall... my Max makes more power at the wheels than some 3.5s... and way more than Autos. 14.1@101MPH verrrrry traction limited- on stock steel wheels and OE Pollowtenza tires.

I've heard you and Kloogy say this (Auto limit is 130) a number if times. When we had our meet at the Rock (first one - rained out). The Raleigh group was leapfrogging on 64 towards the Rock around 100.
I opened up on the 4 lane and would swear I went to 138 before backing off. You tend to really note the speed since you don't do it often. I never felt a speed wall or anything and had RPM's to spare - just lost nerve to go faster. I may be mistaken and I didn't have anyone in the car with me - just 9 Maximas behind me.
The only situation I would try this again (with a video or without) is like at 1 AM on Interstate in say SC or on 85 in N. NC someplace where you don't see a car for 10 miles. I may have the opportunity in a few weeks.
If it is limited to 130 - that's fine - when do I go that fast? But it would be nice to know if that's true. What does an Apexi RSM do that changes this? I thought it was basically an monitor that you can hook up to various sensors.
