2K3 Maxima SE AUTO vs. 2002 330i Auto

We went down to the "track" where me and my friends all race each other,We both agreed that we will run them 3 times. Well the first race my launch wasn't to great because I was burning the crap out of my potenza's, but despite that I still pulled even with him to about 35 mph at which point my injen intake was just roaring

I ended up pulling ahead of him after 40 mph but from then on he didn't give an inch nor did I. I hit about 100 at that point we both shut it down because the road starts to wind down. I ended up having about a half a car length on him, it was very close. Our second race I was really confident because despite having one of my ****tiest launches I was still able to squeak it out. So on my second launch I did a better job and right from start I was pulling good on him all the way to about 55 mph, I had about 1.5 car length's on him. I couldn't widen the gap though it stayed that way until the very end. Which leads me to say my friend didn't even bother doing the 3rd race because he felt the power of the VQ35 lol. I told him to make sure you post your story on a BMW forum ha ha ha ha.

Good kill. It doesn't surprise me much though given that those 3-series BMWs weigh more than the Max and have less hp (30 less in his case).

can a lowered maxima with a good setup of struts/shocks be compared to a stock suspension of a BMW 330ci w/sport suspension?

Nope. Max is still short
