Unless you're in love with the Maxima (or you just like a project car) its easier to just buy a fast car. Personally, I'd like my Maxima as a daily driver and park a 300ZX or an older Vette in the garage for my weekend toy, but no can do at the moment. Anything is possible with money too, as we've all seen

13.6 @ 105... my 2nd time to the track ever, using 15" stock wheels which are skinny (205 width)... untuned running 10psi. You can see my mods in my sig, and yes I ran horrible in Bowling Green... I'll give you the details.1st run: I was the 8th car to run for the day (on the left side), ran a 2.68 second 60' due to poooooooor traction, then my clutch completely slipped in 2nd, so I had to shift to third... I ended up running a 15.5 @ 99mph... lol
2nd run: Good launch, missed 3rd... ran mid 14's at 102 I believe...
3rd run: Good launch, ran lean at the top of 3rd, and when I switched to 4th so I just let off because I was low on gas... ran a 14.0 @ 87 hahaha
4th run: Got more gas, good launch etc. ran lean in 4th again even after getting gas, so I let off again and ran a 13.8 @ 102
I just got an APEXi SAFC2 so I'll be going to the dyno soon and tuning my car. By the way, if you get nitrous with the turbo, you can run crazy times like Hal, and trap at almost 120. :P With slicks 11's should be easy.

How about the M5, that's considered a 4-door sport sedan vs. a highly modified suspension Max?

You can put all the best aftermarket suspension parts you want on a 5th gen maxima and it'll never come close to either the M3 or M5 in handling.

we cant compare a fun-to-drive sedan to a highprofile sports car
thats the difference between ur primary ride and ur 2nd car

The M5 in manual configuration weighs 4024 pounds, which in the case of my car is about 1000 pounds more. Explain to me how an M5 is going to be able to beat my car in the corners if I slam my car, and set adjustable coilovers to really stiff for race setting... I don't care if it's rear wheel drive or not, you know the outcome. It's the same reason Type R's own everything in AutoX's and they're FWD, because they're light and have a really stiff suspension.Have a nice day.
