2k-2k1 SLOWER than 95-99?
2k-2k1 SLOWER than 95-99?
I tried to search, but the search wouldnt happen. I was told that my 2k auto is slower than 95-99 manual, given its a 5speed of course it would be faster, but i heard that even the 2k-2k1 5 speed is slower than the 95-99. If so im definitly going to have to get rid of this auto and get a 6 speed. So please say it aint so guys.

you guys are serious?
its been known that the 95-99 5sp are faster because they are lighter and still have a really good engine. they're faster then the 2k/2k1 auto vs auto and it wil lbe a very good run for the 5sp vs 5sp even though most likely the 4th gen will take the 5th gen
2k2/2k3 auto or manaul beat the 3.0 engines no matter what. maybe a really good race will be 2k2/2k3 auto agaisnt 95-99 5sp

Don't think so. Fastest 0-60 for 4th gens that I saw was 6.6 sec. for the manual. Fastest time for an 00-01 5 gen 0-60 was 6.7 with a manual.

I had my butt handed to me in my stock '00 5 spd. I was racing a 4th gen from around 20mph. He pulled me and kept on pulling. He said he only had a catback. I find it hard to believe with how bad, I got beaten, but what can I do.

Actually, it's a verified fact that the 2000-2001 manual Maxima's with 17" wheels (stock trim) are slower than any manual 1995-1999 Maxima with their 16" wheels...
So what's to argue over? Total area under the curve divided by vehicle weight = advantage to 4th Gen Maxima...

No way, unless it's got some extreme mods, boost or juice. Last summer I raced a local guys who have one with a dual exhaust set-up. I took him off the line end of story.

Not faster from a roll or past that UNLESS it has MEVI.
Lose the 24+lbs. OEM 17s if you're THAT concerned about getting beat by a 4th gen..

a base 2k-2k1 GXE 5speed with 15" rims should be the faster between the two years...
The only max that could quite possible lose to a 4th gen is an SE with the C&C package (17" rims). Otherwise, off-line, the 4th gen will be quicker 0-20mph, but the 5th gen should catch up and past it. From a roll, the 5th gen has the advantage, especially if you go past 100mph

Go read the "Battle of the 3.0s" thread. It answers all these questions.

Agreed, I had about 1-1.5 cars on a 97SE, auto vs. auto from 75-100 mph..
