Had an 3.5 Alty for breakfast....
It was Beauuuuutiful.....
Im at a light turning left to go back to the office, and here is this 2002 Black SE Alti....(my cars little brother, my max is black)..so I hold off and let him get beside me.
At the next light we were both in front, he had his window down, and I noticed he kept looking over, I never gave him a glance.
We took off slowly, he stayed RIGHT on my side, then I gave it a little gas....so did he, next thing you know we were off>>>>>>>>
Perfect race, no one got the jump on either car. I shifted into 2nd, and nailed it...lit em up, then into third I went.
By this time I was about .75 carlengths in front. I shut her down....
I then chose to look over and we both gave thumbs up to each other.....
MAN I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S.....His preformed (visualy) like an automatic....oh well.

I know it's a bit off topic, but I just got an SE gray Lustre 6 spd with the hlsd, does the 6 spd max chirp 3rd?
My car only has 430 mi. so I haven't pushed it yet, only chirped second a couple of times...

Ive driven 3 6 speed Maximas.. without a short shifter, how do you powershift... I hope when you say powershift, we mean the same thing... shifting without letting your foot off the gas pedal .....??

Interior of Alti is not best quality....neither is the Max. No comparo to the TLs. Some one posted a link here so that is why I am here. I am very curious about the next generation Max......but, I will never buy another Nissan because of their service, sales staff, mechanics, customer service! They have gone down hill since my last Nissan in 89

a 2k2 Max 6sp beat a 3.5 Auto
So what is the big deal?? The simple fact that you have a stick, going against an auto with 15 "supposedless" HP, and you only win by 3/4 of a carlength?? 
Oh yeah... you definitely had that Alty for breakfast.. As for our interior, yeah we know it's not as refined as the Max, and you should be pretty happy it isn't, b/c if it was, what would be the reason to purchase a Maxima again???

Nissan should have re-named the Altima, it is not even a shadow of what the car used to stand for over the years. I never looked twice at them before 02.

Then why in the HELL are the dealers basically GIVING away Maximas at the same price as the Altimas?
Face it guys, you're ****s are PLAYED! The design is only 2 3/4 years old, and it doesn't even look as good as a 95 Millenia?????
Then Nissan's LAME attempt to make the Max's tails looks like the Alt's by clearing them out! LAME AS HELL!
Why is the new Max being built on the our Altima's platform?
Face it, Maxima guys, if your only gripe on us is about the lower quality materials used on the inside, you're basically GRASPING for straws at this point! Let it go guys, let it go.
