Favorite 5th gens

It's been awhile and great looking cars have some and gone. To prove this my new two favorite cars are Steven88's and NISMAX03's. What are some of your new favorites.

Thanks for the compliment. A couple of my favorites are Zero Max's and MyownNismo's. Both were inspirations for my Max.

I like any max that is a sleeper. I like clean, polished, and mostly stock looking but ready to kick some *** whether it be in the twists, accel or both.

I have always had two favorites...

1. whitem3guy (i believe he used to have a different name something like redmax2nv)



2. Igor911



I've pretty much done everything to my car that I've wanted except for being dropped lower which is coming in the spring along with my new wheels so hopefully I'll be on somebodys favorite 5th Gen max in the summer.

it's a guy thing. you can't ask it, you just accept it. even in th 50's, muscle cars were worked on.

at some point, you just stop. i am long done with my car. i just want to pay it off fast so i can be over with it. i like how it rolls, i like how it pumps, no more for me.

i only say that because that subject (lambo doors) has been discussed ALOT here on the org, and almost all of the people who respond to the threads think it's stupid....but of course, it's each to his own on what you do to your car....if you like it, do it. But don't expect most people to think it's kewl!

it's only money wasted if it doesn't make the owner of the car happy. I've spent thousands on my car, but everything I've done I consider an improvement to the ride, the handling, the performance, the music, etc...Plus, it's fun to do things to the car

I have virtually no mods on my car, FSTB and pedal, but my favorite car is MY CAR because that’s the only one I can drive.

Well… Ideally I’d like to have something like this:

you can say that age has nothing to do with it...cause you have no age yet. when you get older you will look back and know what we meant.

"lambo" doors are all rice. all show no go. and they are pointless on a 4 door car

Casey's (KCMC582) for looks alone:



SR20DEN's and Irish44J's for performance (each a different type of performance).

Chris'smax's and BlackbirdVQ's for the best balance of performance and looks.

I'm sure there are more I forgot...

ive always LOVED this max. so clean, such a nice drop, perfect.

also, JdoubleOs max is a great, very original max. no one has that front bumper (well, now they do), no one has fender flares, its really nice.



as far as performance goes, SR20DEN has always really impressed me NA, HNDA_ETR because of his turbo, and Jime, an OG who can put down some SERIOUS 1/4 mile times.

And BTW, thanks everyone who said my Max

so, my real choices:

Show-quality: JDoubleO
Interior: Metal Maxima
Street looks: Bluesbrekr
Curvy-track performance: BlackbirdVQ
Drag performance: SR20DEN I suppose
Low-key stylish: Polo and a few others

Of course, also partial to mine for a several different looks in one car

after autocross:

exactly, the only reason my car doesn't look stock is from the coilovers, other than that nobody would know what lies beneath.
