who would win a stock auto gxe(might be se) vs. a 2000 galant gtz with intake(auto) . my friend thinks he will beet the max but i always tell him no so who do you think will win.

 

It's no contest, the Maxima will win easily

 

2000 Mitsubishi Galant GTZ:
Acceleration (0-60 mph): 8.7 sec.
Weight: 3263 lbs.
Horsepower: 195 hp @ 5500 rpm
Torque: 205 ft-lbs. @ 4500 rpm

2000 Nissan Maxima GXE:
Acceleration (0-60 mph): 6.7 sec.
Weight: 3186 lbs.
Horsepower: 222 hp @ 6400 rpm
Torque: 217 ft-lbs. @ 4000 rpm

The intake will give the Galant @ 5hp...
Agreed... no contest!!! Road kill

 

hell, that GTZ would be roadkill even for an automagic. Go watch your friend get creamed and buy him a beer afterwards to cheer him up.

 

his sig says he has a 97 auto max...those are slower than the current autos and i think they run mid 8 sec. 0-60s...it will be closer than you think, but you should win

 

He says in the subject 2000 max vs galant GTZ 2000.

 

Try mid to upper 7 0-60s...

 

Actually, he said "a stock auto gxe(might be se) vs. a 2000 galant gtz with intake(auto)". I assumed it was a 2000 Max also... my bad
Since his sig says GLE, so I am guessing we are talking about another car.
kevlo911, please clarify.
1997 Nissan Maxima GLE:

Acceleration (0-60 mph): 6.9 sec.
Weight: 3001 lbs.
Horsepower: 190 hp @ 5600 rpm
Torque: 205 ft-lbs. @ 4000 rpm

This one will be a closer race, but the Max should still edge out the Mits because it is lighter.
This one will be up to driver skill. Whoever can get the better take-off and better manual shifting.

 

The GTZ is ssslllloooooowww......A friend of mine has a '99. It should be no contest

 

my friend's got a Galant and we decided to take a little run a few months ago. no comparison. haha... Galants are POS..... but don't tell HIM that... hahah..

 

you guys are forgetting that the auto on the max isnt that fast. at all. 8 seconds for 0-60

 

the subject says 2000 max
so its not the car thats in his sig...

 

thanks everyone, ya its not my max that is going against it.

 

I thought that the 4th gen max was the fastest gen max so far...but oh well, it would still kick the galant

 

This is if you leave it in drive and just floor it.
If you get the manual shifting down it will be better.
I can get 0-60 in mid to low 7 seconds.

 

You should be able to get it below 8 easy even leaving it in drive.

 

I can still get it 0-60 in 7.6 seconds with 100 pounds of equioment and the heavy a$$ 17" SE rims on. Where is everyone getting 8 seconds from?

 

Best time 0-60 by Motor Trend: 6.7 sec. Your time is pretty darn good considering MT uses "professional" drivers.
You should hit sub 6 with all those goodies coming to ya!

btw: Mazda RX-8 is alive and kickin...new rotory(Renesis) is 250hp in na form. Fellow rotory fanatic....

 

6.7 was a 5spd, not an auto. Sub 6? Probably not without NOS or a S/C.
