I killed a supercharged Expedition the other day...I don't know what he was thinking...

 

The new HEMI trucks sound good stock, much less with duals. Great sounding engine at all RPM levels...

 

sometimes the getting beat stories are the best i think. back when i had my camry i attempted to race a maxima (what a coincidence!) and it smoked me. i told more people about it too....

 

you live and you learn.

 

Damn straight!! Do you drive a Maxima or what?

 

I never been to the track so I don't know what I can run but the GT that I raced a while back I didn't have a problem with him.

What mods do you have on you Dodge if you saying it is faster than your Max?

 

My '03 Max is a stock GLE.

My '02 Dakota CC 4.7L V8 has the Jeep HO Cam and Intake, a 70mm TB (up from the original 68/65mm), colder plugs (Autolite 3923's), 180 T-stat, WAI, true dual exhaust w/ removed primary cat, KB Optimizer II, IAT Adjuster, TPS set to .76 VDC, and new and improved ported stock 4.7L heads. It ran 14.52@94.2 at Silver Dollar (It's a good .3 faster than Commerce)on stock Goodyear LS 255/65-16's (oh yeah, I have Toyo Proxes ST 275/60-16's now), and that was before the ported heads and new TB (old one was a custom stock ported job).

And I just ordered drag wheels and am about to order MT ET Streets for the wheels.

Upcoming mods are a custom turbo setup (or a one off Kenne Bell S/C...still debating the two), ported Jeep HO Heads with larger valves (current ones are 1.89" intake and 1.46" exhaust), another style single outlet exhaust w/ custom long tube headers, and a modified suspension kit (Maybe Hotchkis, depends). So I'm about 40% complete with the mods on my truck. It's fast for a 4200 LB vehicle (that's with driver and spare tire). It ran 15.6 @ 87.8 the second week I owned it. It's not too shabby for a $19,500 truck.

 

couple years ago i had an 89 corolla and got smoked by a durango. i wanted to beat him where it emerges. but i thought again. and i quitted when i hit 30 mph lol. i currently own a 03 max GLE, very luxurious, but lost to an acura tl-s, lexus 430, civic si, and many more.

ps. lost to a kid that was riding his bike. (i was stuck in traffic)

okay what a lame post. sorry guys.

 

What happened to REAL racing? Quarter miles are for dragsters! I haven't modded my car yet (tough to get s.hit for a 86 anyway) but I would love to race road courses. That is where the performance of your modded Maxima truly stand out.

I really like to see a modded Maxima post a 13 sec run @ 113mph around a hairpin turn or a 45 degree chicane.....

 

Wait until I have the Hotchkis kit in my truck. It currently pulls .83 G on the skidpad, but after the install (with their custom tuned shocks) I should be at or over .90 G How's that for truck handling?

 

Truck?


What kind of truck?

 

Look up a couple of posts...'02 Dakota CC 4.7L V8

 

I LOVE racing stories!

I was thorouthlly spanked by a Newer Camaro/Firebird WS6 or somethiing, while getting on the freeway.

I have a 2K 5 speed, and was rolling right in the sweet spot of the RPM range (4K in third gear)on the ramp, knowing that this guy was wanting to blow my doors off due to our escapades getting to the ramp. I took third gear from something like 60mph to close to 100, then shifted into 4th. He did not have a jump on me when I nailed it, and by the time I was shifting into 4th, he was well on his way to blowing by me at a pretty good speed differential (20+MPH).

That is my best a** whoopin story where I was the one being whooped.

I have also driven my Maxima at a couple or tracks (Pacific Raceways and Portland International)once at each track while my real track car was being fixed, and had to get used to being passed.

I was pretty impressed with the Maximas ability to keep up, but there were only a few I could pass, such as Audi's, certain BMW's, and the occasional 911. I recieved comments from several people driving at the track about their surprise as to the Maximas ability to handle itself on the track. I was kind of surprised too. While my only suspension mods at the time were 18" wheels with Kumho's, and H&R springs, It stuck pretty well, albiet with quite alot of tire squeal and body roll. Even with such, it was good fun!

Good thread! I am more a viewer than a poster of threads, but I'm working on it!

Yeah 14.52@94.2 for that truck is pretty fast. Nice mods you got. Now get some mods for your Max .
I think if you manually shift you GLE you can get similar times, I remember somebody ran 14.4 in the GLE, not sure if it was stock or not.

 

i have given up on my beautiful AE maxima(its retired)...my biggest' raping ever was against a 98'SVT cobra. WoW!

My G35 has a 6-1 record...

i have beaten a supercharged Harley by 2 cars...he thought he was the **** when i pulled next to him..it was really funny

i have raced a Mr2 Running 18 lbs of boost..got smoked from a 20mph roll, but i beat him by a nose from a start (he had little tread on his tires)

and the strangest kill was when i raced a 2003 G35 (my Friends)...i beat him by 2 cars and he has a 1/2 car lead!!!!!???? Figure that one out?????

 

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A F!@*#@G CLK 430 AMG. There is a CLK55 AMG, but only heavily modded maximas can touch that. If the 430 was really racing you, he would have won by more than a fender. I know this because my father has one, and I tried my friend with his 2k3 6 speed. I had him by about 5 cars to 100 when i shut down. The maxima is a quick car, but compared to a car designed to run at 100-155 all day, its just average....
