new M5
No, I am not going to start out this thread by saying I smoked a new M5. But I bet that is what some of your thought when you read my subject. 
So almost every day I head to work, I see this guy in his late 50's driving a brand new M5...ice blue in color (why would anyone pick that color for such an amazing car?). Today, we were on a wide open stretch of road with a decent speed limit and I was hoping to get to a red light next to him. We actually got 3 green lights in row. That never happens to me...ever.
I tried to egg him on so he would nail it, but he wouldn't. I am not hinting for a second that the Max could keep up...but it would be fun trying. Why is that once you can afford to buy such an amazing car, you no longer have any interest in driving it as it was intended? I love the M5 and hope to own one someday (as I am sure most of us do).
I bet if I still had my Supra TT and was next to him, he would have played...
Maybe I will get him to demonstrate that 400hp monster to me someday in the future. If so, I will let you know.

kind of like when we were all in my friends 1.8T Jetta and saw a brand new 6speed firebird ws6 and we revved it for fun and took off only to see the guy lay rubber when he downshifted and hear that beautiful gas guzzler scream buy (I want one so bad just for the sound and straight line ability for 31K!). It was nice to see someone drive one hard and humble my friend in his chipped German automobile. We were down from the get go, 150hp, 200 lb/ft torgue, 1 gear in tranny, +2 passengers, but still fun. Hopefully that old man will open her up on you someday just so you can see how nice it would be to own one.

My brother also has a 540i and drives it like a nut. The car is fast. The Max is not match for it. But the 540i is not even in the same league as the M5. That is a serious enthusiast car! You can tell it means business by the 4 exhaust tips and the very wide, low profile 18" tires.

I would have a seriously hard time believing that any Maxima could run with a M5. Being FWD and shy by about 150hp, it would be really unlikely. Everything I have read said that the new M5 consistantly runs 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. That is Vette/M3/993 territory.

Carguyrob: Certain individuals have been working on custom force induction setups for the Maxima that will help it beat your beloved M5 (that's the rumor anyways).

I am not embarrassed...thank you very much. I may be a "newbie" to this site, but I am definately not green when it comes to cars. There is no reason at all to berate or belittle others just because they don't know what you are driving.
Yes, I have heard of slicks. Yes, I have driven on them. I have actually been to Skip Barber Racing School and did very well. You cannot race someone at a stoplight with slicks because they are not street legal. The vast majority of the Civics you are talking about are also not street legal.
My original post was just a nice comment about meeting up with a M5 on the STREET...not the strip. And the performance numbers I was referring to were with stock tires on blacktop.
If you ever plan to market this amazing technology, you are going to have to work on your people skills. A little kindness goes a long way!

this reminds me...
just 200 miles into the 2k2 i was driving in a rather clear stretch of highway when all of a sudden from behind me was this Black M5 (as i later found out when it just zoomed past by me). It was probably doing upwards of 100mph already given i was doing 80 and he seemed to zoom by as if i was at a standstill.
Here's the kicker, just a couple of seconds after he zoomed by, on my right zoomed one of those racing bikes.
THEY WERE RACING!
I was like, "crazy biker".
hehehehe
I would have loved to join in, but with 200miles on the car and being it was a public highway it just didn't feel responsible.

After reading this thread (especially Yo_its_ok's descriptions of his custom killers) a (probably irrelevant) question occurs to me...
At what point in the modification process does a Maxima (or any other car) cease to be a Maxima? Is it still a Maxima simply because the shell somewhat resembles the original car? Can you still brag that "My Maxima kicked *insert name of super car here* butt." if the engine, drivetrain, suspension etc. has been so modded and/or replaced as to bear little or no resemblance to the original car? I realize I'm splitting hairs to the extreme here, but still...
As much as I'd like to dream that an "actual" Maxima could blow-off an M5, it's obvious that, to do so, one would have to modify the thing to the point where you're running something closer to a purpose-built racer than a bona-fide Maxima.
But, I suppose, this has been the case ever since the first two cars met up at the first stop light, right?
Still...I'd love to see that TurboMax run!

Chasis bracing consists of overtower braces front and rear, lower tie brace up front, and as mentioned before, a full rollcage to tie it together.

No tube chasis crap or anything to mistake that its not a Maxima.
As for my S/C'd one, retains full interior of any 2K SE~! and will run high 12s low 13s on street tires w/ mid 12s on slicks.

I'm actually surprised to hear the bike was 2 sec back from the M5. My background is sportbikes on street and race tracks (roadracing). There is very little out there that could touch me 0-100 km/h on my ZX-6 Kawi. I was easily running mid 3's. On my new 2001 GSX-R 600 FI low 3's is more like it. The great thing is that it only took a front sprocket (one tooth down) of about $30 to achieve this. 1/4 M times are in the high 10's too, with a top speed of about 150 mph 
. Not bad for a little 600cc with a weight of around 400 lbs and 100 rwhp. I have to say I'm going to miss my bikes (if for finacial reason I have to sell them next spring) but I'm really looking forward to my new 6spd HLS Max, which will hopefully be arriving before the new year.
Regards,
Rudy

I actually had a motified '95 Supra TT (6 speed) and my current Maxima. My Maxima was my daily driver and my Supra was my fun weekend and nice day car. I only sold the Supra because I had it over 3 years and realized I could sell it for what I paid for it. To add to that, I managed to put 12K miles on it and did virtually nothing but oil changes to it. In the end, it was the cheapest car I have ever owned! I figured that would all end if one of the turbos went or some other major expense came up.
As for racing street bikes, I had that opportunity to do that a few times in my Supra. Those bikes were the only thing that could touch the Supra. But if I caught them off guard on the expressway or in a race, they had a really tough time catching up. I raced many new Vettes, Porsches, Cobras, SS's, M3's and other Supras...but never lost a race to a car. In that car...everyone wants to race you...even the kid in the Escort GT.
There is nothing like driving down the expressway with the targa roof off on a nice summer evening at 75mph and having a crotch-rocket come up next to you egging you on to race. Just put it in 3rd gear and stomp on the gas! Turbos are at full boost with the greatest engine and turbo sound...being pressed into the seat harder than an rollercoaster could ever do. So cool.
Thanks for reminding me...now I miss my Supra again.

Would the ECU work in a regular 2K or 2K1 and what kinda gains would it provide. I'm assuming it would also remove the speed limiter. I'm thinking, if it works maybe, we could purchse these through you.

but seriously yo its ok where did you learn to do all this? I mean I know the very basics but thats it..Im only 23 and havent started any type of career or anyting..would you recomend that I take a mechanic course at a vo-tech and get ase certified? I LOVE cars and racing but I dont wanna get ase certified and end up workin on beaters on a car lot somewhere! is there any thing you would suggest to get into this field?? thanks for your help!!!

And in the end it's still not a BMW.
You save your money and mod your car(s) and whoop on cars that are more expensive.
But guess what? Different strokes, for different folks. Though the guy has spent more on his stock BMW, he could have easily bought a cheaper car and modded it...but he didn't. Did you ever think there was a reason?
So what ahppens if you mod a BMW?

So almost every day I head to work, I see this guy in his late 50's driving a brand new M5...ice blue in color (why would anyone pick that color for such an amazing car?). Today, we were on a wide open stretch of road with a decent speed limit and I was hoping to get to a red light next to him. We actually got 3 green lights in row. That never happens to me...ever.
I tried to egg him on so he would nail it, but he wouldn't. I am not hinting for a second that the Max could keep up...but it would be fun trying. Why is that once you can afford to buy such an amazing car, you no longer have any interest in driving it as it was intended? I love the M5 and hope to own one someday (as I am sure most of us do).
I bet if I still had my Supra TT and was next to him, he would have played...
Maybe I will get him to demonstrate that 400hp monster to me someday in the future. If so, I will let you know.

So almost every day I head to work, I see this guy in his late 50's driving a brand new M5...ice blue in color (why would anyone pick that color for such an amazing car?). Today, we were on a wide open stretch of road with a decent speed limit and I was hoping to get to a red light next to him. We actually got 3 green lights in row. That never happens to me...ever.
I tried to egg him on so he would nail it, but he wouldn't. I am not hinting for a second that the Max could keep up...but it would be fun trying. Why is that once you can afford to buy such an amazing car, you no longer have any interest in driving it as it was intended? I love the M5 and hope to own one someday (as I am sure most of us do).
I bet if I still had my Supra TT and was next to him, he would have played...
