1. POS Spec V's shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as a G35, and DEFINITELY shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as an M3...
2. street racing is and shouldn't be glorified

An M3 should wipe both cars off the road. All 3 are relatively slow though. Why race these cars flat out.... Get a faster vehicle!

U guess fast is relative. My track vehicle runs mid 9s in 1/4 at 150 so the M3 is slow.

an F-14 launching off a carrier runs the 0-250mph in 2 seconds flat.....and at full thottle can go more than 11 MILES in 9 seconds.

Spec Vs suck, they shouldn't even be called SE-Rs. Disgrace to all performance Nissans from the previous years- till about mid 90s.

This will lock it:

irish44j you make no sense. We are talking about cars here - all three of which are not straight line fast cars and only one is a fairly good handling car.

Your post is


You probably take it like this

and hide behind the internet like a wall throughout your young life

Someone should set you straight

This enough to lock a dumb thread that has little to do about Maximas?

I will tell you what is dumb, yesterday coming home from a work a pearl white 2k1 Maxima Se tried to race me in the rain.He flashed me to race him , i was like hell no, if you live in Cental Fl , you know that the rain was coming down pretty good yesterday.Anyway he took off like a bat at a hell i was pushing 65 -70 and he took off problay hitting tripple digits because his tailights got small as a speck. Low and behold i saw his tail lights start weaving back and forth finally spinning out in the median almost crossing over into the other oncoming traffic. SLAP NUTS! He is lucky the drainage ditch in the middle probally slowed him momentum down or he would have flown into the the oncoming traffic and would have been DOA! I passed him and there was some under carriage components in the drainage ditch , along with a serious bent rim,etc. I bet he will learn his lesson trying to race and speed in the rain. What a hard lesson to learn, he messed up his MAx,will problay get a ticket for reckless driving because witnesses pulled off and saw what happen , What a fool.......
