My '03 auto vs Buddies GS400!!!....what we wanted to know!
I finally broke 1000 miles and wanted to know how my new Max would hold up against my buddies GS400. I already know my '01 gets killed badly! So it is time to compare the new one. The GS400 has a SRT ECU piggyback and SRT intake.
1st race about a quarter mile long. Back road nobody on it but us. He calls it and we are off, this time I leave it in "D". I pull about a half car on him immediately and hold it there till about 90mph and run out of road. 2nd race I pull almost a car off the line and hold it till about 90mph and he starts to catch up and pull me. If we went past 100mph I would have been walked on badly. BTW manually shifted. 3rd race I spin badly his fender to my rear door till about 85mph then he starts to pull me and we shut down 90ish. Basicly I held him off everytime till about 85-90mph! I would get a better jump for sure! I had a feeling the max would pull off the line and it did. The cars were dead even till about 85-90ish where he would pull. I have one thing to say, the '02+ Maxima is one Bad @ss machine!!! Now I need to get a 6 speed G35 to replace my '01 Maxima, it is just so slow:D or maybe......SC time! |
Yeah the Gs400 are like RWD 300hp stock. Their highway monsters witht eh V8..
Just throw a blower in your '01 :) |

I'd like to stay out of jail! :cool: |

This is very interesting. Anyone else tried 2k2/2k3 against GS400/430?

man I love those GS400/GS430. No matter what you put on Max, it will never get attn like the Lex. I would trade in without a doubt.
|
PCGuRu2K and NT2SBBY, we have a pm feature on this board;) Thanks for your original input though.
PCGuRu2K, Would you recommend the SC for a daily driven car used 3,000 miles a month? How are you liking it? |
Mines is a daily driver.. I pack on 75miles /day... It's definitely worth it cuz you'll have much more power to play with. Just don't boost all day every day and you'll be fine...
I've gone through 2 trannies since I had the blower :eek: |

the GS400 is rated at a high 5 second to about 6 flat 0-60... with a good driver, it should take down the auto 2k2's... again, it comes down to the driver with cars of similar performance (see thread about mustang GT)
|
the gs400 looks nice but thats about it
it feels slow and rides like a freaking boat(typical Toyota) it is way overpriced. My friend was shopping around and ended up with a 540i for the same price(now that's a beast) |

BTW 6 speed owners! I would not fear the GS400/430 till maybe 120+mph:D

My friend was shopping around and ended up with a 540i for the same price(now that's a beast) ~STAGED 14.525 @ 94.06 mph on 2.09 60 foot with Eagle GAs, full tank 93, 100% stock right down to paper filter in a...1996 Bonneville SE/SLE supercharged |

I raced one couple weeks ago., it was the GS430 and we went to 110 and he couldn't gain on me at all.

Originally posted by PCGuRu2K I don't race. Street racing is bad. Whatchu talking about? :wall: |
Originally posted by Maximam Isn't the '02+ Maxima the $hit? If only rear suspension was different, this car would rock even more. |

Originally posted by 3.0HO Come on now. You aren't getting beat that many cars are you? Any runs with Vettes, 911's etc... tell us some of the worthy ones wins and losses. |

Originally posted by NT2SHBBY hey...Danny's got a 3.0 with boost...how fast can it really be?? :wall: :laugh: |
Originally posted by Young04 i dont know man, don't they do 0-60 in the high fives and quarter mile in the very low 14's? seeing a few in action, i would put my money on the GS over a 2k2 auto any day...against a 6 speed, i personally think the lexus would win more often than not. |
Originally posted by Maximam The GS will get that with a properly prepped track. anything else will cause the GS to spin it's one legged tire all the way down the track netting a 15 second run. I will tell you that since the GS started to gain at 85+mph I would still feel comfortable in the 1/4 with him, he would have to gain back that car length I got off the start.:D |
Re: My '03 auto vs Buddies GS400!!!....what we wanted to know!
So, when did you get another car???
ADMAN |
Originally posted by Dany Yeah it is definetly a quick car. I came from 2000 SE 5-speed and that car wasn't even close to this one. All that torque available almost everywhere in 2002. If only rear suspension was different, this car would rock even more. |
