New competition for 00/01 Maximas?
Car and Driver reports the new Pathfinder Armada (5 sp. Auto) does 0-60 in 7.0s and the quarter in 15.5 @ 89mph....if im not mistaken that makes a 5300 lb sport-ute some stiff competition for us 2000-2001 stock/lightly modded guys (esp. automatic) off a stoplight? Apparently its so big that "The Armada is such a change for Nissan that many of its dealerships had to be modified so the big ute would fit in showrooms and service bays." I just found all that to be pretty impressive...

The boys over at www.tundrasolutions.com are able to pull mid-15's @ 86-87 mph in their i-Force 4.7L V8 Tundra 2WDs and "only 235 HP" or whatever it is. I wouldn't be surprised if the big V8 in the Armada would really haul some booty. Did they test the 2WD or 4WD model?

it's probably 2WD since it's lighter than a 4WD.
and honestly...who cares!!! it's a truck for pete's sake! who cares if a truck does what in a 1/4mile? i mean a Ford Lightening is pretty cool and all, but afterall, they're trucks!!! it's probably better to talk smack about how much you can 'tow' or 'load' and stuff...

What if they beat a Maxima while towing? That would really suck.

He had a stage 2 bullydog chip that gives like 200hp and 400 lb ft of torque not to mention propane injection. Nothing like seeing a truck with a trailer dust a car
