Need some insight. Got a friend that wants to race me on a highway with a 2000 mazda millenia. I got a 2k2. I keep telling him that I can take him. ANybody outthere race one before.

 

Try not to laugh too hard right in his face after you absolutely destroy him.

 

I'd say take him to the track just to make it legit, but you'll smoke the zoom, zoom, zoom Millenia.

 

Is it an S?? I just traded in my 2k millenia for a Max. and there is no comparison. You can take a millenia by several car lengths w/out breaking a sweat.

 

I just realized you have an intake and exhaust as well...is he stock? Stock the sucker weighs 200 lbs more than you and, even if he has the Millenia S, he is 45 ponies behind you and no manual tranny option. If he's not a Millenia S, he's not even going to be able to spot you in the distance after the race is over.

 

Aight thanks for the info. I'll try and get him on the road sometime this week.

 

Hey how do i post the pic of my max on a thread.

 

Do a search and you'll find some instructions, but basically the easiest way is to create yourself a cardomain page at www.cardomain.com and load your pictures up there. You can then post the images from the cardomain web site. You cannot link to photographs on your computer's hard drive...they have to be hosted on a web site somewhere.

 

Thanks for the info

 

One more point...Car & Driver did a comparison test of the Millenia S and seven other sedans...one of them was the 2000 I30. The I30 outperformed the Millenia in that comparison and that I30 wasn't working with the 3.5L in your 2K2.

 

Tell him that you assume no responsibility for racing him if his transmission falls out halfway down the track. I have killed 3 different Mazda transmissions in my life. Mazdas are COMPLETE crap.

 

Aight that's what I want to hear. Thanks for the info people.

 

the story will be more interesting that way.
something like this: " i gave him 2 car lengths head start and i didn't even hit 3 gear before i passed him"

 

Supposedly they can be decent if the pulley is shortened -- even then you'd have no problem beating him.

I will add that it's one of the smoothest cars I've driven.

 

lets not generalize now... my cousin owned a stock 94 rx-7 5sp... that was a nice car.. but it was the cost of maintenance that kept him from modding it

wait.. maybe mazda is crap

 

I had a 98 Millenia S and I got to hand it to you, with that Supercharger in there, on the highway, that car moved like my maxima. On the highway, it was very good. Maybe not from a stand still, but I still love the shape of it.

You will blow him away!! I raced one last year.... not even close.... ZOOM ZOOM....BOOM!

 

It's an AWESOME looking car...but if it's built ANYTHING like the 626, it is a pile of poo poo.

What kinf of DVD player you got and screens and what kind of price for it.

 

DVD player is underneath the TV headunit as you can see. Everything is Pioneer except the screens in the headrests. They are AutoCinema screens, cost about $300 a piece.

The Millenia S is a pretty nice car. Not that fast or even sporty, but it's got a nice lookin interior/exterior...
I think the new Mazda 6 series that's comin out should be more on par with the Max.

 

Zoom, zoom, BOOM.

Hey, those SSR GT1's...aren't they superlight rims? I thought they only came in gunmetal...or are those the Competitions?

 

just like the new celica.....

Looks fast

 

The commercial with the dog is the best commercial on television right now.

 

that was the same picture i saw in my head when i typed it.... i fell out the chair laughing so hard, then my co worker looked at me like i was insane

 

Millenias have NO business racing. PERIOD !!

 

They have good business pimpin. I speak from experience.

 

alot of people can beat these cars... millenias were designed to not accelerate like our cars do. Since it's a luxury car, when you floor it, it proceeds to go faster, but doesn't go WOT right away. takes a little time.

I say you'll smoke him

 

No comment

 

SSR GT1's- 18x8 are 19 pounds. OEM 17x7 rims weigh about 23 pounds.......nothing like reducing your unsprung weight!!!

Makes it that much easier to trounce a Millenia

 

You have no idea how much that sig picture of your Maxima has made me consider GT1's. Thanks for the weight info!

 

Thanks for the props Michael...........So are you gonna get them?
