It does. I always wonder to myself...how is my bone stock Max so damn fast? It just feels too fast for a car that can do 0-60 in 7 seconds. I've raced against some pretty tough cars (don't mean to turn this thread into a battle thread) and I usually end up the victor. I think a huge reason why my Max is so much faster than it should be is because of me. I'm light. I'm like 6'0 and weigh something like 140lbs. My cousin has a 98 GLE, he weighs 200 (6'0), and his car can barely keep up with mine, when in reality both cars are pretty even when stock. I think I should really take my car onto a 1/4 mile track and get it tested. I'm curious to see the numbers that will come up; and then once I get my performance tires on, I'll get it tested again.

/Rant over

 

i see where youre going with this. but then you think your max is fast then? im a whopping 115 lbs... no wonder the car seems so quick off the line

 

Hahaha. Us light folks rock! We make weight reduction procedures obsolete!

 

haha, you guys think your soooo cool. j/k betcha id spank you guys, in weight that is, im 6'0 at lik 250 lbs.

 

geez 110. can you handle the brutality of the max? lol

 

...hungry children of America...

 

Nah, it's just my sh*tty metabolism. I used to be a chubby kid, up until I was 10. :P

 

115lbs, damn I used to weigh that when I was like 10.

 

Maybe he's just short?

 

or he is a she?

 

I think it's all in your head dood. How could it make that big a difference?

 

Damn boy, do you have the strength to even push down the pedal all the way? Get something to eat.

 

Do these pants make my butt look ... awwww, nevermind.

6' 140??? Damn, boy, you need some serious carbs! LOL.

 

110, 115, My d--- weighs that much!!

 

on the quarter every pound off helps.....

 

Damn! You guys are light.

 

MY GF is 100 pounds, she should be the driver on all my races.

 

Hmm, 5'11" 250lbs... maybe that's why my car feels slow sometimes

 

By the way every 15-20lb of weight = 1hp, so the difference is there if you are 250lb going against 100lb ~10HP :-)

 

hmm.....you guys are way too light for ur height..i'm a shorty..5'6 but i'm 150 lbs....

 

hahaha lol

 

in the 1/4 mile its like 1/10 of a sec. for evry 100 pounds

 

6'0 and 140lbs? thats anarexic....

i'm 6'2 195lbs and i'm still skinny..

you ugys probably spend your food money on mods

 

I'm thinking the exact same thing. I am like 5'6-5'7 and I am 150 and not fat. I don't get how someone could be like half a foot taller and weigh less.

 

lol..yea..i even thinking about get 5 more pounds, so i can get a little more mucles...

 

There goes this guy's self-esteem!

 

well, If you every see a what looks like a skeletal system driving the max, dont freak it, its just another org member.

 

BMI charts show that my weight is actually fine. I could gain another 15 lbs to be in that ideal range, but I have a hard time gaining weight.

 

Try alcohol ... works for me! ROFLMAO!!! You should be at least 160 lest your G/F or B/F beats the crap out of you! Come visit me for a while, with my cooking, I guarantee you'll gain mad weight! And NO, that's not a proposition.

 

how about we remote control the max... that will eliminate even more weight.

 

Haha stop hating on us light guys (and girls). Just diet down or get some steelies and you should be fine

 

That would rock!

 

You calling me a fat ***??? LOL Definitely not hating on all you 'light people,' just jealous. I used to be skinny ... wtf happened? Damn how age gets to ya! If this is 30, damn 40 is gonna suck!!!

 

+1 on that!!!

I'm 6'0 165-170 and i'm pretty thin....

 

I'm 170 and 6'1" ... still pretty thin, but 30lbs lighter and I'd look like a waif. Was that a word before Kate Moss came on the scene?

We drive Maximas ... what, we're all supposed to look like models? LOL.

 

Well, most of us light kids are in our early 20s, if not still teenagers. My weight shouldn't really go up due to the fact that I'm a woman, but most guys' metabolism slows down inevitably with age. I'm too lazy to cook and that helps a lot too, but the least you can do is stay active. It's not that big a price, and you won't need to take out your spare & jack. I don't

 

Okay, so you wanna come over for dinner??? LOL . Don't remind me about my age ... I get plenty of that from my friends. I'm definitely active, but that doesn't seem to help a whole lot! I spend two hours a day working out, but I'm still not happy with the results. Poor me ...

 

My cousin is 190 and 6'0 and he's got a whole lot of meat on him. When he reaches 200, he looks overweight. I guess it's how the weight distributes. :\

 

You're 6'1, 170lbs and you're not happy? That's a great weight if you ask me. It might be your muscles that weigh so much too and as long as you don't get a beer belly, you should be very happy with your body.

And this comes from a woman that has been around active sports people and models all my life, funny you mentioned Kate Moss.....

 

I think I'll have to get out my tiny violin once again....that's twice in two days.
