I just got myself an AE 2001 5 speed and I'm also wondering about the 0-60.
I think it's around 7 sec for the 5 speed.
Any 2k1 5spd owner want to share there times?

Hmm...I thought I saw Motortrend's test and if I recall, it was around 6.7 seconds with a manual...I could be wrong, though...

I've seen those numbers but I think that "real life" is different than those mag numbers. BUT I also could be wrong!

No, you're probably right....Those are "perfect" test conditions, i.e. wind is right, track is perfect...My bad! Ooops....

Did someone say the difference between stick and auto was a whole second?? PLEASEEEEEE..... the differences are marginal at best, like, .2 or .3 quicker. That doesnt make it worth it for me to brave a manual in thick nyc traffic - manuals really arent as fast as all you who row your own gears think... my .02

I would say the 0-60 times on a 5 speed would be right about 6.7 seconds. I have raced a number of TL-S' and always won, but just by 1/2 a car length or so. They are rated at right about 6.7 seconds. My car is totally stock.
BTW, the difference between a stick and auto trans is always more than .2 or .3 unless you are driving a 540i auto or a Porsche. Those German autos are very aggressive and can hold their own with a manual. Most autos are rated at about a second slower than a manual. Remember, the auto is less efficient and weights more.
Just my .02.

In every test I've seen with a Maxima, the manual is quicker-By much more than .2 or .3 seconds....It's not just about how quick you can shift; usually they are geared better for accelerating and you are also able to hold a gear longer than an auto...Just my .002 (for what it's worth )
But I can certainly appreciate your point about heavy traffic...An auto would be better.

My 2k GXE 5spd loaded with a passenger and a heavy bass box hit it in 6.8 sec, dont know about pressure, and it was around 45 degrees, too. 6.1sec is a very good result.
To those driving automagics and still in denial that manual Maxima is MUCH faster than auto, need to have a reality check.

Times of the 2k automatics are as follows:
0-60 7.8-8.1
1/4 mile 15.9-16.1
The same would apply for 2k1's. These are magazine times. Motortrend DID test a 2k 5speed and did 6.7 seconds, BUT it was a preproduction model. In other test from different magazines, most have got'n 0-60 in 7.0 seconds. Some might argue with me on that and say "well I got this and this time" I don't really care, you're just a better driver than they are.

Where did you get the numbers for the autos? I have not seen these in magazines-Only manual times...

People here you should know that the Auto Gear Box on the 2000 and 2001 Maxima ....sucks moth* fuc*** as*. There is more then a whole sec sometimes, and its so stupid. There is nothing more to say but a manual can dust an auto maxima with no problem at all. It much more faster and fun to drive but again in traffic it sucks. Performence wise they 5sp are much more better and worth the money. the 2k2 ones are awosome. you can get around 6.5 easily, i heard its a really good tranny

No one has asked this question yet, so I thought I would. How much would a VB calibration bridge the gap between the auto vs. manual? I would consider this as an option only if the gains were large enough and if the whole process was trouble-free. I wouldn't want to do something to my car that affected its reliability and resale value.

1/4 mile for my 2001 SE automagic was 15.6, on a chilly night around 45 degrees. I think i read somewhere that the VB mod would get you about .3 sec on your 1/4 mile, but i could be wrong. It would definitely help bridge the gap, but you still have a greater drivetrain loss with the auto.
Quit picking on the auto's> I like mine, sure its no 5-spd, but it is still a MAX!!

Hard to measure 0-60 times but I'd bet stock 5spds easily do the 6.7 reported in the mags (with a decent driver). When I got my 2k - first time at the track I ran a 15.2. That's right at the magazine reported time so I presume my 0-60 was as well. Ultimately got it to best of 14.7x with y and intake in pretty cool weather (and I still needed a lot of practice launching).
With Y and intake, I'd say you can chop off a few tenths and would be around mid to low 6s.

this post is about love for 5speeds, so if I can ask automagic drivers to get your sorry behinds and start your own thread. Too much stuff no one needs on the performance of 5th gen autos.

Werd. And they're slower, so that's all there is to it.

People buy Auto maximas because it's more convenient and easier. When you have to drive a lot or want to relax, the auto is your best friend. 95% of the maximas out there are auto. That should tell you something, most people like to enjoy the ride w/0 having to shift in between. Also, the automatic version of the car is 2k more expensive than the 5 speed. So, don't clown on the auto because people have reason to spend 2k more on autos. (no flame intended.) Just representing the Maximas.
P.S. If I wanted a car to race in, I'd buy a 98 supra and trick it out.
