Why do their numbers matter? In most cases those aren't even proof of what the Max can actually accomplish. You're better off getting the real numbers fro your fellow Max owners. Seriously

I ran 14.7's when I was stock which should put the 0-60 right around 6 seconds for the auto and the 6-speed should be at least 5.7 seconds if not better. With my current mods, I run 5.5 seconds!

I will have more mods then him as soon as I get my Greddy Cat-back exhaust in . I don't expect to see much more then a 5.6 0-60 though unless I get stickier tires. As of right now I can't push my car hard through 70% of 1st and going into 2nd causes massive wheel spin.

Mine would just about be the same as yours!!

The max is actually way faster than I thought it was when I got it...I thought it only ran 7 secs lowest 0-60....damn! It's actually quite close to the M3.....whew!


Thanks for all the info guys.....

Those are not real numbers. In the real world the track does not have a fresh coat of rubber on it for a good take off. Most magazines test it on a real road (private of course) and not a dragstrip. What kind of 0-60 numbers have you gotten on real American (or Canadian) asphalt.

5.9 second 0-60 w/error margin +/- 12.3 seconds.


It was tough to press the start and stop button on my timex while shifting.

Wow +/- 12.3 seconds!! That means that it could have been negative 6.4 seconds or 18.2? Either way, somewhere around 5.9 is fast on a real road for any sedan (excluding the new M3 or M5).

Yup...I tend to lean towards -6.4 seconds...I'm pretty fast...but I don't put that on paper because I'm pretty sure the Acura guys would be over here flaming me or something.
