Nice runs, but the trap times are a bit slow, some stock 2k1's 5spd's can get a 94mph trap speed.

PS. Based on Steve's track data what was his estimated 0-60 times?

ok bramirez, your welcome
sprint i don't like NOS maximas and near greenwich it got a little too twisty for my stock suspenion, i didn't want to kill anyone.
emax, when are we gonna race
paul, i will try shifting higher, and i'm pretty sure i have a VLSD
***, delio and confused are both near me. del would waste me, brett will beat me but it will be closer. i think.
i did run with that gs, i should be able to beat him in the spring, i can't wait. i'm glad someone finally ended the debate, i now need to get my trap speed up, not that i feel they matter that much anyway.
a 14.3 is a 14.3 no matter what the speed is.
and about S4's who races one and doesnt have at least a chip, 320hp with a chip=stay away.

Work on those RTs...
EXCELLENT times however. Very impressive....but, if you don't work on those RTs, you're gonna get worked by several high 14sec cars to 60mph.

Who cares about rt unless you're bracket racing. It's the 60' that counts and his are impressive 2.1s which is about as good as you're gonna do on street tires and a manual tranny. Most everyone else with a 5 speed in stuck in the 2.2+ range. For every .1 you shed in the 60', you'll see a .2 drop at the end.

It's not likely he'll be racing heads-up. I doubt he'll actually ever compete in a sanctioned race. So, yes, RT isn't important in that aspect since he's just trying to get an idea of where his car's at.
BUT...
He'll most likely engage in your typical stop light race...here's where RT IS important.
Someone who can cut a .5xx light on a sportsman tree is gonna crush him to 60mph if he's cutting .9xx lights.
his 2.1 60' are impressive on street tires and are pretty quick regardless, but a car that can click off 2.3-2.4 sec 60' and a driver who can cut .5xx lights will embarrass him to 60mph, and possibly further...depending on the other car.
So, like i said, work on those RTs... and drop a K&N in the bad boy and do some exhaust work and get those 13s!!

Reason?
If you cut a .5xx light around here you'll end up hitting the jack@ss(es) coming the other way that ran the bloodly red light. A .9xx time would just barely have you in the clear, your car won't be smashed up, and you won't be dead either. So a .9xx RT is faster, around here

In my area (DC suburbs) after **your** light turns green you count 1...2....3....4...5....6... (people running the bloody red light 
)...7...8....9 ....10....11....12, **then** you go 
Seriously, if I ever really wanted a new car all I'd have to do is drive normally through town and go right on green. Some idiot would hit me and hopefully take my front end off and total my car because their dumb@ss ran the red w/o even paying attention, I'd get a big check, and I'd also sue their @sses

Is there any way to infer 0-60 times out of this?

oh, i recently changed my handle from SCCA Solo2 to this. It's more applicable since I do more than just Solo2 now.
Like i said originally, good times, just work on the RTs and you should be set.

Based on the dyno runs I did last week on a 6 spd. I'm not so sure taking it right up the redline would make much difference. The power curve was VERY flat right up to just before the fuel cut-off.
BTW, I'm a newbie too, but only when it comes to owning a Maxima.

I see you live in Ottawa? I do as well! Where did you end up buying your car? Where did you get the dyno done? I would like to meet with you if possible as well. Let me know?

How do you know it's DEFINITELY in the 5-second range? I doubt it.
1) 0-60 Calculator based on 1/4 mile slips.
2) A 3.5L Altima 5-speed with 240hp was measured at 6.28-seconds by a couple magazines, so the Maximas' hp\tq advantage plus more weight would be very similar. I'm not 100% postive though.

Bought it at Walkley, dynoed it at Tapp Automotive on Cleopatra last Friday and am going back tomorrow morning to see what impact Stillen exhaust and intake systems have. If you wanna talk e-mail me and I'll give you my phone numbers.

I just got off with Tapp auto and I am going to dyno my car tomorrow too at 1:30! Thanks for the heads up! Your appointment is at 9am?

Actually that's a good point. I guess I gotta look at just how long it's flat for and what the rpm drop on shifts is since it would be real nice to have it not drop below the flat part after a shift.

It's hard too explain, but I was shifting approximately 300-400rpms before my "rev-limiter" kicked in my 1st/ONLY time at the track and I was only able to get 89.x mph in the 1/4. Another Max(identical to mine) was able to get 91-92mph or more, even though I had a Stillen Intake and he didn't. I had better 330, 660, 1000, and 1/4 times, but he had a higher trap speed. People will argue he may have a stronger car then I, but I was behind at the 60'(bad launch/wheel hop) and still beat him the remainder of the way. Now that I have adjusted my shifting I can DEFINITELY tell the engine pulls better in the bottom of 3rd compared to when I was at the track. The extra rpms allow me to stay higher in my cars FUN-ZONE and I'm sure it will help my trap speed.

You talk more about your Honda Micro Machine
cars that you can't afford.
I'm done replying to you. Your chose of a nickname/handle, your behavior, your retorts, all show a little boy hiding behind a computer. Your posts are (here comes a completely made up statistic) 90% negative and rarely offer any valuable piece of information.
Of a positive note:
JD Powers did a survey on most dependable cars... the Maxima was rated as the most dependable Premium Sedan...
