really?

 

I thought that car belonged to another member on here??

 

It would be better if it didn't look hideous.

 

sure does

the owner has been given a lot of $hit for how his car looks, but whatever, its his car and if he wants to make it look like that, thats his business.

 

 

He prefers the "show look"

 

i dont think anyone but him thinks it looks good

 

72,427 views.. A lot of people have seen it


Hopefully this isnt going to turn into a bashing thread... He has power to backup his choice of "show" parts.

 

this is 1swtmax's car, he is a cool dude chill out... the hood is there for a reason... bet noone wants to run him... anyways this was definately thread worthy... why was it made?

 

seriously? This is your post?


Wow.

 

If he got rid of the front bumper, hood, and the ground affects the car would be nice..

 

o.k this thread is dumb

 

I'll drive it

 

awesome grand am

 

Is dyno testing without your front end normal? Is it a representative test? Hmm....

+1 on the nice grand am comment...to each their own.

 

The power that car has is mind-blowing, there's no question. I have a lot of respect for the performance work done to it. I'm just not a fan of the looks, that's all. If someone was ragging on the guy for how it looks, he can just defer to the numbers it has and shut them up easily.

If it were me, I wouldn't give people reason to rag on the looks in the first place by modding it more conservatively on the visual side of things. That's me though, not him.

I agree with you, HotShot. His car, his money, if he likes it that's all that matters. Again, you can't knock the performance. Those are some mind-blowing numbers.

I see SecondToNone's 5.5 gen as the perfect blend of very nicely-done performance and visual modifications. Such a shame that it blew up on him.

 

so many haters everyone has their own preferences the fact that he has chosen to have his own look i give him much respect and thats what makes his car unique and the hood scoops obv provide useful for the boost.

 

I don't think it's haters as much as the look of the car is not generally accepted as attractive. But huge respect for the investment in HP.

Speaking of which, if you have $5500 just in the turbo kit + all the other stuff, you still have a sleeper Maxima. I suppose I'd do that if I got the car free, but having 20K invested in a Japanese sedan is a bit over the top, that's why it has gotten so many views.

 

i agree, hes trying to be vin diesel, "***".

very very nice motor work though.

 

^^ That's a little harsh. No need to personally attack the man.

 

I'd drive it, and I don't think it looks hideous as some of you have said. But then I would'nt exactly spend thousands of dollars on a turbo for a fwd vehicle.

 

They do that because the bumper comes off for the intercooler install. And it's easier and safer to strap it down that way.

 

Do you even hear yourself?

Go back to high school.

 

Why not? Too much torque steer for you?

 

 

Does he actually have more than 395WHP? I am pretty sure he broke 400...

 

Wow so many jealous haters


He built the car the way he wanted it. I am sure he would not come on here and bash everyone for the way their car looked..

 

Meh, not my style for looks but I would love that turbo.

 

I'm not hating...to each their own. I just like the idea of my Maxima being a sleeper. Not that mine exactly is, now that I have it lowered with rims and a front lip.

But subtle visual mods > full-blown overhaul on the exterior. Just IMO.

 

He broke 400 after the new UIM was installed . This was his original dyno.

 

What did you do? Change you screen name?

 

I just caught that too

 

Psh, no. What are you talking about?



Yeah, about four-five days ago.

 

Sums up my thoughts exactly.

 

Ah...good to know. Thanks.

 

Shows you how observant I am.

 

You and Andre both...

 

I love when that turbo spools up
Call him rice all day but he would still smoke the f*ck out of most everyone here.
If thats his style and thats how he prefers it, so be it, let it be.

 

The guy can make the car look how ever he wants. It has 400 horsepower...

People probably sleep on that car all the time; thinking it's some riced out Maxima, until they hear the spool...
