A funny thing happened to me on the way home today. I'm just minding my business, cruising along. Then this 95 Accord with Altezzas comes up from behind and pulls next to me, matching my speed. Then he guns it alittle trying to instigate me into racing him. I wasn't in the mood to race since I knew I would kill the Accord so I just ignored him.
We both ended up stopping at the next light. He's reving the whole time until it changes and guns it as soon as it's green. I didn't even bother with him. He pulls up in front and starts blinking his hazards trying to intigate me even more.
Suddenly, another 5thgen comes out of nowhere and passes him. LoL. The Accord tries to catch up but cant. Hahaha..
I kept up with both of them to see if the Accord passes the Max but no luck for him. After about a mile they both stopped at a red light. I ended up stopping behind the Maxima.
I can hear them both reving the whole time. As soon as the light changed, they're both flooring. I tried to keep up to observe everything.
The Accord had no chance. He was murdered by about 2 car lengths. I can see the hazards blinking from the Maxima about 3 car lengths away from me.
I wish I could've seen the look on his face when he lost.

and passed him. The car upshifted to 3rd (70mph) and I slow down. 1-1.5 seconds later he catches up. He rolled down his window and I do, too. He says, "Damn cheater, you have an intake!" LOL I just laughed. But I've beaten him plenty of times before I got the intake

We tells me to "gun it; the one who looses buys the winner pop." I didn't think he was serious. I see him punch his car and I punch mine. He got a head start. I hear the engine rev high so I knew I was in 1st gear (we started out around 25-30mph, I didn't really look at the speedo when we started). In about 1-1.5 seconds I was right next to him. I waved and passed him. The car upshifted to 3rd (70mph) and I slow down. 1-1.5 seconds later he catches up. He rolled down his window and I do, too. He says, "Damn cheater, you have an intake!"

people do stuff like that!!
i dont know why a lot of people do stuff like that
they try to race even when they know that they dont have a chance.
not to mention my max, once, i was driving my mom's clk 430 and this acura 1.6 el was flloring it cuz he wanted to make a right turn in front and he wanted to pass me....
if i drove a similar car like a civic si, i would understand why he did that, but when i drive a car like that, even the max...
WHY!!!????

People thinks I floor the gas every time at a red light when I was just at 2k rpm!
I mean, many cars out there try to tail gate me and thinking I was trying to out run them,. Like a Jeep with 4cylinder engine, tried to pass me and I let him. That guy knows I let him pass me, but he felt happy to be at the front.
I kinda agree that the Maxima's rear is ugly. Except for white. This makes people think that the car doesn't have a good drive train, but in fact, all the torque are friendly at just 2krpm. Car was crusing at 20kmh by letting go of the brake. WHen ever I let go of the brake in the red light, the car just cruises faster than most car's acceleration. I still think the power are best only at high rpm though....

I think that a lot of times people know that they are going to be beaten, they just want to watch our cars in action. I had some guy in a beetle bother me until I just went WOT to get away from him. He gave me a thumbs up as he passed me atthe next light. I know if I see a hot car like a 911turbo or a M3 I will try to get them to take off just so that I can hear their engine sing.

Don't forget that the Maxima has more hp than a v6 accord
i must admit, the 5spd would murder a v6 accord...but the autos aren't that much faster than a v6. BUt, the ex accord is a better deal for the price.
if you compare them by what you get for the price, the accord wins. Like on the ex, sunroof,6disc in dash, traction control, climate control and side airbags are standard. plus the accord has a better resale value.

Yes but then you have to remember that with the Maxima's higher price tag, you get more features. Bose 7speaker, Heated seats, Dual power seats(Accord is only driver side), auto feature on sunroof. Split folding rear seats(Accord has a single folding), More HP (The auto Maxima is faster than an auto Accord, look at my post in Page 1), 160mph speedo, 6,550 redline -I'm getting picky here - Bigger and fatter wheels (GLE vs. Ex sedan, SE vs. Ex sedan).

. Bose system in the Max is much more impressive than the system in the EX Accord. Trunk is larger on the Max.So, Mugen? Are you MugenAccord from the Accord Message Board of old? I used to be on that board in '98 when I first picked up my Accord. I haven't been over there in a while?

Re: Re: Don't forget that the Maxima has more hp than a v6 accord
Guys!!! It was a 95 EX v-tec engine probably...... Not a current V6. If it was a newer model, I would of raced him. All he had was Altezza lights. No other visible mods plus he was driving kinda wrecklessly...
