Didn't lose by much tho, good job

 

"Welcome to last week"....:

Sorry buddy, I have a life outside the forum... can't catch everything you maxaholics post ...

 

How many miles were on these cars?

 

someone else pointed out on the other thread that it looked as if the maxima let off near the end...what do you guys think?

 

I dont know if the Max let off or not but it did get pulled on. However, we are talking 6sp manual vs 4sp auto. Couple that with the fact the J32A2 pulls harder at higher RPMs than the VQ35DE and the results are what you see in the video.

Peace.

 

5 speed auto

 

What?!? The Maxima?!? If so, its a 4sp auto (or I was robbed a gear by Nissan.)

 

huh? the title of the thread said it was a stick CL-S (6spd), and all auto maxes are 4spd

 

Hey smart guy...all 2k2+ maximas have a 5spd auto transmission and a 6spd stick

 

No they do NOT!!! All automatic pre-2K4 Maximas have a FOUR SPEED AUTOMATIC!! Check yo' self before you wreck yo' self!!

BTW: I have a 2K2 Maxima auto.

 

 

1600+ posts, and you have yet to pick up how many gears are in a fifth gen maxima. who's the "smart guy" now?

 

wtf I read on here that it had 5spd AUTO! then i was miss-informed.

1 check of myself comming right up

 

whatever that means, let's stop before this turns into a flame war over how many gears an auto 2k2 has. look it up if you don't believe us.

 

"Drive type is front wheel, and standard transmission is four-speed automatic that responds quite well."

I guess where i read about the 5spd auto was a bunch of BS

 

oh well, it happens.

 

I WISH I had a 5speed auto in my Max. Maybe then I'd trap higher than 93mph.

 

Nice run for your car bing an auto vs manual CLS. This should show those TLS/CLS guys with auto trannies that the Max can more than likely take them/run neck and neck judging by how good that auto Max hung in their in the beginning with a manual CLS(alot of them say oh I can whip an 02/03 auto Max. Also that Max did let off toward the end it appears.

 

I heard the 2k4 comes in 5 speed auto......

 

I believe there's a 5 speed auto and a 4 speed auto available for the 2k4 depending on the trim.

 

Good Race! That CL-S had a bad A$$ launch!
Probably a Pretty good Stick Shift driver too.

Didn't like the result, but hey.....can't win them all

 

Interesting thing about the race in the vid, i thought, was that the Max (even IF it was auto racing a 6-spd acura) held its own pretty darn well up until the CL-S most likely shifting into 4th gear and then truly had an awesome gearing advantage.. the Max (if he stayed on the ball) was prolly finished up 3rd gear...

Still need to see a vid of a 6-spd acura vs. a 6-spd Maxima.. i've read many anecdotal accounts of this particular race.. but I want a real video
