Can A Stock 2000 Maxima Beat A ...

I was talking to some friends and they made me mad as hell cuz they keep tellin' me their cars are faster. One drives a 97 bmw 328i and the other a 2000 volvo s40 1.8t. Can i beat them? I can't really race b/c i have 20's on my car. What do u guys think?

Lots of variables but here's my thoughts. Who's this Volvo think he's kidding? 160hp automatic POS!?! Easy kill. BMWs are always to be taken seriously but if you're a 5spd and he's auto I sure wouldn't worry. He might take ya if he's a 5spd but that will depend on you and your driving skill. Go kick their butts!

Motor Trend magazine says the Volvo will do 0-60 in 7.7sec and the BMW will do it in 6.9sec. But, I say with those big 20's you have you probably would lose to both of them.

Not with 20's.

Switch back to OEM rims first (if you've got them), then race
