Last night I finally had a chance to race my buddy who just recently bought a CL type S 6-spd. I drive a 2k3 SE Auto/only mods are injen intake and Greddy exhaust. Well from start(0-70) he had about 1 car on me, then we raced from 20-90, it was dead even to about 60 but thereafter he was pulling away little by little. To be honest I wasn't that disappointed because I know what these cars are capable in six speed form. The only thing I was wishing for was a six speed tranny for my Max.

 

Good Race! I have wanted to race a new maxima like yours for a long time! Hopefully I will get the chance soon.

 

this is a maxima forum....go back to your temple of vtec

don't worry i'm not hating on hondas, i have a 02 tl for my cruisin

 

I browse other car forums as well...and I don't have that particular car

you have to know what the competition is up to

 

i bet a 6sp can take them off the line....on the highway it will be a tough race for the maxima since the CL-s are pretty good in 6sp top end

 

Did you even read his post?... It says in the second sentence that he owns a 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA.

 

What a dumb ****

 

I'm the dumbass....look at the posts again retard. J30A1 is a honda owner, suck my **** ***** before I get belligerent

 

ban

 

ya the CL-S is a capable car. its sibling, the TL-S is not as fast as i had thought though in 5 speed form. poor kid just could not break into the 14s last night but very nice cars

 

ooohhhh you have a 02 TL for cruisin..... Big deal!!! You probobly are hating hondas knowing you spent more on your base 02 TL than I did on my new fully loaded 2003 Accord Coupe EX V6!!

 

28k before tax and license, type s w/ navi brand spankin new....no regrets whatsoever.

new accords are ugly, pinner engine...

tl-s ***** on the competition

 

Why would you want me banned, I pointed out something totally legit, I'm right they were wrong, what's your problem..

 

lighten up pal. everyone over-reacts to little comments. if someone gets confused about somethin i write, i'll just re-word it. simple. no one gets mad even! haha anyways, TL-S is a good car, but i ran one last night and he couldnt quite keep up. i have 1/2 the run on video too... i pulled harder thru 1st gear, and it gave me enough to stay about a car ahead the whole run. excellent cars tho, i'd drive one

 

Hey, I see you honda owner, a quick question. Does new Accord Sedan V6 have dual exahust? I know that the V6 coupe does.
Last week when it was raining this guy on new Accord, not sure if it was V6 or not, but I think he only had one side exahust, took off as we were getting on the highway and I couldn't catch him.
Well in my defense I didn't really try that hard cause was afraid to fly off the road with my Pretenzas.

 

Well, if you weren't trying hard then we have a lot of options:

The 4 bangers aren't so bad, a buddy of mine has a 5-speed. They're still pushing a 2.4L i-Vtec

A common mod for V6 owners is a single side exhaust conversion. There's supposed to be an increase in performance....and it fools people in situations like yours!

 

because your retarded post look like this *** **** **** you ****** ****

 

if you wanna start **** i'm down

 

ghetto.... its the internet

 

I've raced my gf's 03 Max SE and an Altima SE so far in my CL-S, and the outcome was very similar to you experience. I walked away pretty good after 60-65mph. They were also both automatics. However, I haven't raced one from a stop, so I don't know how I would fare.

 

My friend used to own a 01 CL-S and he had nothing but problems. I thought about buying a CL-S myself until I read about all the problems they have with the transmission and a bunch of other stuff.

I guess to each his own.

 

The only problem I heard about with the CL (not to mention TL and Accord) is the auto tranny. Besides that they're solid cars and I almost bought the CL-S instead of the Maxima but I needed four doors and Acura wasnt going to give me a good deal on the TL-S (demand).

That said, are there any videos or stories out there of a Max 6MT racing a CLS 6MT? I'd be curious to hear about these encounters.

 

Yep, there is. I saw one a while back. It was a 6sp Max vs a 6sp CL-S on some back road. The CL-S was ahead by about 1.5 cars after 1/4 of a mile or so. I'll see if I can find that video.

 

that was a 03 cls 6 spd blue vs a 02 auto sterling mist.

 

Yeah I saw that one; it was an auto Max. An auto 2K2 Max wont stand a good chance against a well driven CL-S 6MT.

 

 

My bad, I thought it was 6sp vs 6sp

 

Same here, I've raced TL-S a bunch of times and have been successful most of the time, but the CL Type S six speed really moves, though I feel I would have beaten him if I had a Six Speed Maxima instead of an auto. By the way I saw the thread you posted (1/4 mile time) nice time by the way 14.8. I wonder how I would fair with my only mods being Injen intake and greddy exhaust.
