I replied to this thread..

I can't stand ****** owners braggin that hard core about a 14.2 sec 1/4 mile..

 

What I think spkr_diy is missing is the fact that Honda owners wont get butt****ed by their service departments, unlike Nissan.

 

i think it's ****** gay that maxima owners bash accord owners .. *** .. even maxima owners bash fellow nissan altima owners

there is no point ..

be me .. sell your maxima .. go german ... (yes .. i'm still dreaming .. chances are i'll drive my rental for the rest of the year and lease something nice next year)

 

OK, I own a 2000 Civic Si. I also own a 2001 Maxima SE. Civic 38,000 miles. Maxima 42,000. Civic, 0 visits to ANY service center. Maxima 9 visits in 2 fing yrs. I would rather not address the fact that a 4cylinder engine IS going to under perform our V6 any day. Not really brain surgery there. I respect both cars for the individual performance aspects. I can out-drive the Max with the Civic on a road coarse, while dust the Civic with the Max in a straight line. Next time I will trade the straight line speed for the lack of the unreliability and nightmarish trips to beg a service manager to warranty parts that I paid for($2,100) for. I have had One good experience and eight horrible ones at the hands of Nissan.

 

ya there are a few Maxima owners around that do think the Max is "gods chariot" , theres always gonna be that someone I guess

 

my 2k3 Maxima IS god's chariot...I drive it.

(JUST KIDDING!!!!)

 

my Max is the shyt!

notice most members that talk negative dont have the VQ35DE

 

Nissan vs. Honda....... Honda will win, they got more suicidal kamikase pilots!!!!!! And plus there

 

Dude .. if you want to dis someone .. use proper english .. it's they're .. makes u look like a willis

 

Yet another opportunity for a polarizing "us vs. them" conflict. Good thing too, because we don't have enough of those...

 

I just like cars, it does not matter if it is a Honda, Nissan, GM, I just enjoy seeing other peoples rides and how they keep them. I could care less if some dudes car is faster than mine. Sure I like to have some fun, but thats all that it is , fun. After all, I'm an engineer not a racecar driver. My 2 sense

 

Guys, just let them talk their **** and beat them at the track...

 

Same could be said for some of the people on this board too.

 

hey guys, that was tony little from the org!

 

There are just as many ignorant honduh owners that talk a lot of smack. Saying that a Honda will need to be boosted to beat a 14.2 is really lame though.

The new Accord 6spd's are running mid-14's. An S2000 will do that stock in the hands of the right driver, and there are a lot of mods available for that car.

 

My Prelude is faster than my 2k2 all day long...but its hell to drive. Plus its cost me a life savings to make it that way. I love both Hondas and Nissans the same its just upsetting that people get all worked up about this stuff. We are all in it for the same reason, the love of our cars.

 

on the new 240hp accords they're smokin and the s2k.. my friends own both cars and lemme tell ya the accord is not slow. And he gets coffee and doughnuts and bagels at the local honda dealer AND gets treated VERY WELL with FREE car wash each time he gets service...

 

S2000 is an entirely different animal. 5000 RPM clutch dumps and you can get 0-60 in like 5.8 seconds. I "think" it will do mid to low 14's in the 1/4 once you learn how to launch it. IMHO, it's the best performance car for under $35K (and it's a vert, to boot ).

 

don't post things like this... it makes for flame war material...
