In my 2K auto. My friend has a bone-stock 97 SE auto and we both wanted to see how close they were. We both nailed it at 70 mph and I pulled about 1 car length to 80 and about another .5 car to 90 mph, then we shut them down. All I have is an Injen CAI. Does this sound about right? I was happy that I managed to walk him slowly...

 

16 or 17 inch rims? what gear did you both start in?

 

222 HP vs 190 HP
Nothing to brag about!

 

We are both auto's, but I turned off O/D anyway before I got on it. I have the heavy 17's on my car and he has the 16 inch SE wheels.

 

C'mon man, our cars are heavier and by looking at time slips/dyno runs the 4th gens are damn close so it is a close race....

 

Try again, but this time nail it from 55mph. This will put you both deep in second gear. I'd be interested in the results.

 

I would also. Do you think that by starting off in second he would have stayed within 1 car length of me? or even tied me? I still think my car has a very slight advantage on top-end power..

 

It sure does. But, I'd like to see how that power advantage is affected by weight and the larger wheels. My only friend here with a 5th Gen has a 2k2, so when we race, we know what's going to happpen...

 

The intake must have made the difference. If you had started in 2nd I think you would have pulled a little more because the top-end is much better on the 00-01's. By starting in the mid-range of 3rd it was a pretty fair race but you never got to your top-end advantage unless you crossed 5000rpm when the 4th gen starts to fall flat on its face.

 

really.

 

okay I see what your'e saying, although I don't think the Injen made that much of a difference...

 

i have a clip of my 5th gen with only intake vs. my freinds stock 97 maxima from a stop...if someone can host it ill send it to them....

 

Yes please....

 

can you host it? give me ur email

 

also did both of you have o/d off, that would have made a big difference in 3rd gear!

 

I'd like to a more fair 70+ race, find a VE 5-spd whos willing to go. Haha, ok sorry I'll go back to my forum now

 

I did have O/D off and I'm not sure about him..How is it that O/D is going to make a difference anyhow since at WOT she's not going to shift into 4th until the same point as it would with O/D on right? at WOT??

 

haha, I'm sure a 5-spd will beat me by alittle...
