Acceleration while towing 3,000lbs...vid
#4
Thanks. Notice this is with 110,000 miles too!
We'll see I guess. Everyone called me an idiot early on last year when I put airbags in the rear to level the car out when I pulled the boat. I was pulling a 16' aluminum boat with a 9.9hp outboard then. I figured I'd step my dumbass level up this year and start pulling a 19' fiberglass boat with a 150hp outboard. I know 99% percent of the people out there wouldn't even pull a jet ski with a maxima (although I parked beside of a maxima with trailer hooked up at the boat ramp once) but I'm here to tell you that the car does amazingly well. I wouldn't recommend it if you have an automatic because they suck to begin with. However, the short gearing with the 6 speed manual makes it feels like it was made for towing.

Funny you mentioned that.....j/k. But ever since I've had the car (3 years) the trans has leaked a little. Before I bought it they replaced the 3rd gear synchro and didn't seal the cases together very good. I should probably go add some fluid. FYI those wheels only cost about $130 a pop at tirerack.

I flat out love the 19" G37s but I just can't justify spending the $$$ for them. Also, this thing rides rough enough on 18s with the KYB struts, don't want to imagine it with 19s. Everyday I consider buying some regular struts and replacing them but then I fling it into a corner and decide to stick with the KYBs.
