I'm wondering how fast is a 2002 maxima automagic?
Have anyone of you guys tested the 0-60? or read about the times

Someone ran it at the track and got a 15.3 I believe. 0-60 should be around 7.0 seconds.

Very fast. I'm impressed. Looks like the extra HP and torque is for real. If I can get enough miles on my car, I'm hitting the track on Nov 2.

I think it was Paul Newman who said in an old movie:
"Every man has to know his limitations"

Break in period sucks. You want to drive it hard to see what it can do, but you can't. How is the gear box on the 6-spd?

I thought Clint Eastwood said that "Every man knows his limitation" in Dirty Harry.

Hey Paul,

I'm heading up to PA this coming weekend and will be driving back and forth all over the place. The trip mileage will easily add up to over 600 probably.

If you want, I'd be happy to take your car for you and you can have my AV6 for the weekend and I'll get those extra break-in miles on it for you so that on Sunday night when I drop it off you'll be able to flog it out all you want come Monday morning because it'll be fully broken in...and it would be definitely ready for track testing on Nov 2nd.

Let me know

Paul, do you know off hand how many RPMs your turning in 5th at 60mph.... compairing to the Altima, I know what it does, but there are a couple different 5-speed ratios for the Altima out there and I'd like to see which one is correct.
