Anyone see the 2002 Max SE acceleration times? Im curious what the 255HP can do...I have an Auto though (not by choice) and most reviews are stick. 2001 I have seen 6.7-7.6 in diff mags...

 

I have a new auto also, all I can say is that the automatic Maxima is faster than the 6 spd Celica GTS I traded. I would be surprised if the car's 0-60 times are not less than 7 secs. Time will tell though when the auto magazines start posting more reveiws of the 2002 models. Its unfortunate that most automotive magazines concentrate mostly on the totally redesigned models and not the REFINED models.

 

240 hp Altima SE gets 0-60 in 6.28 seconds (according to nissan Brochure).. They even have some stupid blurb about being able to pick on a Porsche Boxster...

There is no info about the maxima's 0-60 performance in the 2k2 maxima brochure, but the max has 255hp, weighs a tad less, and comes in a 6spd form.. draw your own conclusions..

 

Unofficially I got my 02 Se auto to 60mph in 6.78 with 1200 miles on it now.

 

Maxima weighs more than new Alty.

 

Well according to Nissan brochures the Maxima weighs 1lb less than the Altima( of course this is 5sp vs 6sp)

 

Ok, wheres the turd that told me the alty weighed more than the maxima..



You're right... weights on the nissan website show that model for model, the alty weighs less... ehhh... facts? who need facts??



Although, just cuz I always have to be right-->
the Maxima GXE is 3,218 and alty 3.5SE auto is 3,227 (ya, i know, not a fair comparison)..
