I friend of mine just installed a racing sticker on his rear window of his 2000 Max Se. He claimed it gave him alittle over 8+ horsepower. I didn't believe him and told him so. I stood corrected when he showed me his dyno plots of the before and after horsepower curves. Wow! is all I can say. A sticker gave him horse power? .... I asked him how does a measly little sticker yield to such significant gains?
He told me that the sticker wasn't a plain jane sticker.
He told me it was made of a foreign material. (Foreign meaning not from this planet) In 1947, a meteor struck the earth somewhere in the Don Quintes area of New Mexico. At that time his grandfather was on his usual nature hike when he came across the remnants of "this" meteor. He noticed this irridescent plastic-liquid-like material which saturated the crash site which he collected just out of personal curiosity.
54 years later, this substance has been in the family but was used as an alternative to plastics. What separated this from regular plastics what its weight characteristics. Not only was it lighter than plastic but it yielded NEGATIVE weight!!
Since this so-called "Racing Sticker" is an injection molding made of this "Super-Natural" stuff, his car experiences a negative weight gain of 536lbs. Which roughly equates to 8 or so gain in horsepower buy plugging it in to this equation:

HP = LBS/(PI)*(19.85) ---> 536/3.14(19.85) = 8.59 HorsePower

This is insane but true!

I hope he will give me some of this stuff so I can remold my font-end fascia for some serious road racing.

Damn, and my maxima.org and maximadriver.com stickers only give me 5 HP. Can I have my money back Jamie?

 

wow..... the maxima.org stickers are known to be good for at least 5....

Yours are definetly defective. Don't just ask for a refund, tell them to promote you to "Permanent Maxima.org Resident". If they refuse join acuracl.com and talk cr*p about us

 

At first, I thought this ITR is just making fun of us. But after reading and doing some research in this equation. I found it to make sense. He isn't making fun of us at all, but sharing his knowledge with other car enthusaist!

Thumbs up for him!

 

Yupp I know what he's talking about my entire car is made of that material, it weighs -100lbs and is the fastest car in the world. Even beats Kev's midget!

 

Lovesick - I'm not making fun of anyone for owning any car.
You guys are enthusiasts and so am I. I have an ITR but am considering a Max Se. I think the wife wants one. They are great cars. I'll be going to Pocono this weekend to put the smack down on a friend's 2000 Max with Catman CAI and Y pipe. Ha ha ha atleast I hope I will. I heard some good things about these Y pipes. It would be nice if something like that yielded such gains on an ITR.

Max's have much more displacement so inturn alot more to play with. Where as, if I don't spend $5000.00 on mods for my car, I'm not going to see anything more that 6 horsies.

Good for you bad for me. Thats why I posted about this "super light" material. We all could benefit!
