I don't care what it normally takes off. You haven't run what you say you are. I was just talking to Epacy at a meet and he ran 15.2 stock. Many others have too.

 

Like who? Since you are the expert in 5.5 gens....

 

Listen Ben I am not going to spend a bunch of time finding all the 5.5's that run above 15.0. There are many that do, but I can't search because I have lost my donating satus for some reason, so I am not going to run all over the internet to prove you wrong. I am just going to say I have run even with 3 auto 2002-2003 maximas. Like I said before if these were on the highway or while moving at all I would have lost badly.

 

And you're back because?

Please, please go do the turn with your eyes closed. I dare you. I triple dog dare you.

And you don't seem to believe that the roads are not your personal race track.

Read some comparos between the 2002-2003 auto and manual.

 

This is not statefarminsurance.com. Next.

 

sell the spoiler?

 

you can call me whatever you want, but the fact remains that

I'M NOT THE IDIOT THAT CAN'T DRIVE AND CRASHED MY CAR INTO A FIRE HYDRANT, YOU MORON!!!

 

"can" and "would" are two seperate things.
i hope that you learn the diffirence before you kill yourself or someone else


ok i changed my mind....please keep it up and kill yourself. then we will have one less stupid driver on the roads

 

I agree that it is extremely dangerous doing such things and I would have never done it myself, but I just wanna argue a little bit about Maxima’s physical abilities:

Considering that stock Maxima can pull .85 gs, it can go through a single lane turn with suggested speed limit of 20 at about 40 - 45 mph. The author of the thread mentioned that it was a 4 lane road. By using both lanes, this speed can be brought up to 55 – 60 mph. And now, (considering that it’s a right-hand turn) imagine if someone were to start turning into that corner on the very left side of the opposite side of the road, moved to the right side at an apex and went back to the left side an exit point. That would probably make it like 70 -80 mph corner.

edited: all mpg changed to mph lol

 

all of that is nice...but there are other factors
main factor - posted speed limit is 25 mph!! (they dont do that just to prevent people from having fun)
- not the best driver
- "water" in the road

 

I agree with Frankd121 but also think you some of guys have to much time on your hands. Hey Frankd121 You should bring that 5.5 to Rantoul to autocroos it some time. They run once or twice a month. I've got an extra set of rims I throwing a set of track tires on, if you want to try it, without wasting your set. Pm me if interested. I'm done watching the petty agrument.

 

You can take the turn with your eyes closed and your dad-who has been driving probably twice as long as you-can't take it with both his eyes and your eyes open? If you do decide to try that one, you'll have to come back and let us know what a pureed cheeseburger tastes like.

Other than prove that sprinklers exist, what does that prove? Do people who have nearly drown take pictures of the ocean?

You're doing a lot of talking and not much in the ways of listening. Learn the limits of your car and since you seem to think you're a better driver than your dad, maybe you should teach him how to drive as well.

 

He is really good at talking and not listening....

 

I'm surprised this thread is still open. At the rate him and his dad are going, they may easily win one of those Darwin awards for 2005.

 

When I say I do that corner at 70-75, that is the entering speed and I hold that speed the whole time. I also go in the corner in the right lane and stay in it the whole time. You guys just don't realize that the corner is not that bad.


Well I'm just glad none of you ever speed or take a corner faster then the recomended speed limit. Speeding is bad! Don't do it. If your so afraid of taking risks you guys must not ever go outside.

Hopefully they will total it and my dad can get a 350Z.

 

So let me get this straight:

1. Your dad was driving and wrecked the car.

2. Then "he couldn't get it to start again and didn't think about it being gear. So he got out and i got in the drivers seat and got into park then started it."

So, your "dad" just wrecked his car, and when it won't start he says "hey son, I just wrecked my car...how about you try to turn the ignition key since I'm obviously too stupid to start a car." Then you drive away? or do you switch again after you get it started?

3. Then you leave the scene of the accident where public property might have been damaged (no chips on the fire hydrant doesn't mean you didn't damage it).

4. Then you go get in your car and drive the turn just so we can all see it. Funny, I don't see any skid marks in either of those pics, and none in the direction of the fire hydrant.


right....



also:

I still want to know how you hit a fire hydrant on the INSIDE of the turn. You were going around the turn, hit the water, spun out, and suddenly the car's momentum (which SHOULD have been going toward the median) magically pulls the car toward the fire hydrant at the INSIDE curb? You sure you didn't hit that tree in the median?


no **** sherlock? maybe that's why you don't haul *** through semi-residential areas.....water on the road, deer runs across, little kid, oncoming traffic. The sign of a good driver is that he/she can correct for anything that comes up (i.e. puddle of water). You or your dad or your grampa or the little green alien or whoever was driving the car obviously is not a good driver.....


isn't it funny how when someone embellishes a story, it's always pretty obvious because half the story doesn't make sense?

 

sure we do speed and take corners fast, but WE know how to drive, which is why OUR cars don't hit fire hydrants. obviously you/your dad do NOT know how to drive, or does not know the limits of his car.

Hopefully, the insurance company sees this thread and jacks your insurance rates to sky-high levels so maybe you'll learn a lesson.

 

It was late and dark and when we hit the water the back end swug around and did a 180. Then we were going backwards and just cliped the fire hydrent and got caught up on it. After the accident he tried to start it right away then stopped and we both got out the passengers side to look at the damage. Then I got in to see if it would start and I got it started then my dad got in the passengers side and we drove home (1/2 mile).

No there are no skid marks on that type of pavement. It is a real rough sticky gravel they put on a few years ago (no gravel or loose parts now) so your car will hold better.

We would have been fine if the fire hydrent wasn't there.

I guess you have never been in an accident before? I haven't but I'm also young. I want to hear about your accidents.

 

That's like saying "oh that little girl would still be alive today if she wasn't out side in her front yard when I was being a stupid ****." Yep that about sums it up.




Why don't you do me a favor.... go kill your self the world will be a much better place without you, and take your dad along with you.

 

Let them see this too, even though I don't do this anymore. I don't take it much past 120.

Of yea this is done on a closed course by a professional driver. (ME)

 

Looks like the effing highway you twit.

So now you're saying you took a 25 or 35 mph curve at night when it was dark, the road was wet and your moron of a father was driving at speeds of excess of 65 mph? You both really are idiots.

 

Nope nope. That's a closed race track over here. Those are other racers.

 

hmm my accidents:

1. got rear-ended by a high school kid a few years back in his (ironically) 3rd gen maxima. Smashed the whole back end of my Triumph GT6 in....I was sitting at a stoplight....he forgot to stop. His fault.

2. in my 1992 accord coupe...tapped a guy in bumper-to-bumper traffic. didn't put a scratch on his car or mine (hit him at about 2 mph). But, my airbag did go off for some reason. My license plate in the front wasn't even bent My fault totally, I just rolled forward into him sitting in traffic....still had sleepy-eyes.

3. my maxima rear-ended by a 300ZX TT in a highway slowdown area where traffic was goign really slow. I have an imprint from the bolts holding his front license plate in my rear bumper to this day. His fault.

4. was run off the road by a truck driver who wasn't paying attention and made a quick lane change while I was next to him. Luckily, this was in italy and my Lancia Delta was an AWD rallycar anyhow (think predecessor to the Evo and STi), so going offroad into a highway median didn't hurt anything.
His fault.

so, as you can see....outside of a 2mph tap, I've never been "at fault" for any accident. I also lived in Italy for 3 years, where people really have no regard for traffic laws at all, and didn't manage to get in any "real contact" accidents.



oh, by the way....I've been up to 290 km/h in a Ferrari 348 on the italian Autostrade, which translates to rougly 175 mph....gotta love it when a classmate at school has a daddy who's in the mafioso.

 

what is the name of the track, out of curiosity? Always looking for good road courses to run....

 

A race track that has merge signs? Please just stop posting already.

 

Your airbag went off at 2MPH?

 

Yep, they call it New 21. You should come run on it, lots of fun and not many other racers.

 

besides, this maxima does 280 mph!!!

 

it was the first year the accord was fitted with an airbag, so they were working some "bugs" out I guess. My insurance agent said that he even had a few clients' 92 model-year cars airbags go off because of big potholes. But if you don't believe me, feel free to call the Fairfax County Police and ask for the police record. Police showed up, took a report, and then told me I couldn't drive with the airbag hanging out of my steering wheel...so I took a hunting knife out and cut the damn bag out and continued on to work. Drove around with an open hole in my steering wheel for the next 2 months....

it was the gayest thing ever......there was literally not a single tiny scratch on either car.

 

link me to a site...I can't find it in google.

 

WOW! That must be a 5.5 gen auto, because those things are so fast and beat Ferraris all day long.

 

you dont go past 120 anymore?? well thank god!! i was afiraid you might be going to fast for your car, the driver, other cars, other drivers, and the road and weather conditions.
well the world is safe now...you ONLY go 120.
and that is not a closed course you lying POS!! courses has "left lane ends" signs?? and a green sign visible to the right that tell you what exits are coming up??
you are a dumb @ss

 

I believe you. My parents had a 90-92 (don't know which one) LX and a car rolled back into us at a stop light at a very low speed and set off the airbag.

 

its actualy a highway near his house that he calls "new 21 race course"

 

honda actually issued a recall on ALL 1995 accords for a similar problem

http://www.autorecalls.org/1995/41739.shtml

 

Your a dumb @ss for thinking I was serious.

 

hmm...

"Route 21 Project Update" (St. Louis)

http://www.modot.state.mo.us/stlouis...ountyrte21.htm

man, the internet is great

 

am i a dumb @ss for thinking you are stupid enough to go to fast around a corner and run into a fire hydrant?
you are still a childish, stupid, lying POS

 

no kidding, donkey. I was calling his bluff

don't make me come over there and own you again at college gameday.

 

I remember hearing about a problem, but I wasn't really sure if it was true. Why only the recall in 95, when it was ovious that other years were affected as well?
