03' maxima vs new 350Z

Hope this is the right place to post this...

Black 350Z... young guy early 30's late 20's, From the light on DelaVerendrye, Bishop Power... 0-160km/h I was at his door. When I hit 4th I started gaining but he let off... we were going a little too fast so I decided not to pass him...

Wish I had my single turbo stealth but the max did pretty good... I'd say the 350Z is a little quicker than my friend's 260hp 99' stang GT... anyways nice car...

Check out my www of my single turbo stealth...

Nice! '02+ 6 speed Maximas are the $hit! I hope the aftermarket gets a turbo kit for it.

its a total drivers race. If you can jump the z off the line, you should be able to hold them off in the 1/4.

I dragged a 350 in my Max a few weeks ago. It was dead even.

let's say both cars bone stock, manual, equal reaction time, drivers skill the same, shouldn't the 350Z have the advantage off the line becaouse of its rwd?

if the Z only lead by half a car length off the line, then I'm really disappointed w/the Z....with it's rwd and weight transference, i thought it would leap off the line, or is it that 03 Max that quick?

I couldnt agree more. The Z should have over 300 HP. Kinda sad when the ultimate Nissan sports car (in the states, we all know the skyline rules all) can be beaten by on 02-03 max or and 02+ v6 alti! I'll take my max over a z anyday. Notice i left out the 04 max, becuase, um, yeah, its not as fast!

I rode in a Touring model Saturday.

The driver powerslid the azz end out on a couple 180s and then brought it back in. I don't care if the Maxima(modded) is faster, I'll take that RWD powerslide over my FWD torque steer ANYDAY!!!! However, he's looking at the $tealin exhaust and was quite intrigued when I showed him the Greddy TT kit for <$6K.

I loved the exhaust rumble!

I've never rode in a 2K2-2K3, but that 350Z exhaust with the windows down is LOOOOUD! You feel like you need to yell to talk. Roll up the windows and it sounds like a Maxima with Y-pipe and catback, so moderate but not loud.
