Olds Aurora vs. 2k2 6spd
Ok - I laughed at this initially, but need your opinions... my friends father swears that his 2001 Aurora (4.0) can take my Max. Given that I get a good launch, can I take him?
Aurora: 250Hp, 260lb/ft Tq, 3800lbs
Max: 255Hp, 246lb/ft Tq, 3200lbs + PR CAI
Thoughts? I'd hate to eat my words...

When I first got my 2002 6 speed I was following an Aurora. I wasn't pushing it, and he was getting away from me. Therefore I would say if you drive under 4000-4500 rpm, the Olds will beat you. To be competitive one would need to be around 5000 rpm.

I'd say probably in between at 265. (That's just my calculations from the % loss i get from the auto tranny)

So i've heard.
What do you think could be the reason we have so much torque at the wheels? Not that it's a good comparison but it's the closest i can find - a CL-S has slightly lower tq #'s than us at the crank but it seems to follow the same % loss that we use for calculating HP@the wheels.
And looking at our own dyno's (maxima's) the TQ #'s are definitely higher than HP #'s. So would i be proper to presume that drivetrain loss for power overall is more biased towards HP?
To add, judging from 2k/2k1 dyno graphs - their torque is definitely lower than HP and seems to correlate well to what Nissan advertises it to be.
