Did you get a chance to race the auto max on this board (forgot who it is)? If so what was the outcome of the race....I want to know auto Accord to auto Max which is faster.

 

Paul2kGXE and I met up last Monday - the day I got my AEM CAI installed. We met up pretty late because I was going to do some runs with my G-Tech to test out my CAI and I wanted to avoid traffic.

We met up and checked out each other's cars. I took his Max for a spin and he showed me the handling capabilities of the Max on a local twisty road (holy shiznitz can the Max handle!!! ) and then after that he took my Accord for a spin and tested out the CAI :-D

By the time we were done driving and chatting it was pretty late so no race - but maybe next time. Paul???

Honestly, I think the Maxima/auto will have a slight edge stock vs. stock - but the Max/auto driver would DEFINITELY have to powershift at redline to win. The crappy 5900-6000rpm shift points really kill the potential and it felt like my AEM CAIed Accord V6 was a good bit faster at least when I drove Paul's Max. But when he powershifted it it felt a good bit faster and I don't know if I could have beaten him then.

Well - we need to shut up and race

 

Steve, to be honest with you, my dad almost bought A V6 EX or the TL. But because we had no money, we had to wait. Eventually, we got the money at the time the 5gen Max came out. So we got it instead. I was really close to getting an Accord. We test drove one in 1998 when they just came out.

 

Let us know when you line up and tell us the results.
