But what about any boosted max ? do you think a very fast maxima can do like 0-60 in 4.5 - 5 second ? I know Mardi is running 11's in the 1/4 miles I'm wondering what kind of 0-60 a max with FI can do ?

There is the Excel program that you can put the numbers in from the time slip and can calculate the 0-60.

I'm sure it has a lot to do with tires and suspension. HP as well but 0-60 is really achieved by getting plenty of traction.

Oct 2002 Car and Driver, 2003 6 speed: 6 seconds. There drivers seem to achieve faster 0-60 times than most other magazines.

Real life times are 99% of the time faster than mags....

My car goes to 60 so fast it cannot be calculated.

Their's are essentially calculations because they compensate for elevation, ambient temperature, humidity, grade, etc.

0-60 times don't really mean much if you can't get the traction.

a much better indication of how much power you're putting down is 1/4 mile time and trap speed. also 60' times are helpful.

Well I was just curious to know who has the fastest maxima for that aspect. I'm not interested by the stock numbers but rather by the time & spec of the fastest 0-60 maxima.

This afternoon I was driving in my friend's 1969 camaro, a 454 V8 with an automatic 6 speed tranny, that beast is throwing 725HP, I mean he can smoke pretty much any car on the street. That's a really fast car he's got, but the guys is really cool and nice and not an a$$ at all. Anyway my maxima will never be that fast, but 20 000$ later, it will be significantly faster than when I bought it in october 2000.

IIRC the fastest roads near Montreal are 90km/h (55mph or so)....so you shouldn't need to go 60mph

As retarded as it is to even give this thread a semi serious answer, probably slightly under 4 seconds


I'de have to look at mardis 60 ft times to get a better idea but I am sure they are pretty damn good.

This car costed 70 000$ to build so obviously a 6 speed auto tranny must have cost a lot $$$. If you think it's BS, well then that your problem, I couldn't care less.

I don't know if you knew this but those magazines don't really calculate 0-60 they really calculate about 5-60 because their timers don't start till they have been rolling for a few seconds, the fastest I have gotten in my Maxima is a 6.4 0-60 on my G-Tech Pro RR, but that was also pulling out sideways onto the highway.
