I will out corner you and accelerate out of the corner quicker.(all things equal, ie. we both had coilovers). no win there
Trust me bro, you would lose all the way around.
Having said that it WILL be a better car.

First of all mine is a 98, not a 95. Don't know where you got that from.
Second of all, we've already said it's useless to compare them, it's not apples to apples. My only point is that just because in your eyes it's a better car, does not make it so in someone else's. Nor does it make it the absolute fact. It's just an opinion. Even if you could somehow equal out the performance, handling, etc, one person will say one car is "better" than the other because they don't like the styling, or certain options or - whatever.
Third, thanks for the laugh. It's pretty funny reading through that list of "absolutes" you provided, seeing as you state them with ironclad certainty even though they are just your opinions, and not based on any real world evidence.
You've got a lot to learn my friend, and I am done with this argument now; I can see it's pointless and I've wasted enough time on here when I need to go get a couple things done on my Max that cannot out-handle, brake or accelerate yours no matter what I do to it.

Funny stuff. And the 3.5 revs higher than the 3.0? With the longer stroke? ...the hell?

Dandy.... I'm dead serious bout strippn the weight off my car ! I would like to be around 2800lbs- my car used to be 3005lbs when brand new as I remember I weight it at a local CAT scale. Remember I have no power seats or anything in my GXE, its stripped from Nissan- aka Maxima Type RRR.
Now I do have quite a bit of things repleaced on the car that are lighter... so who knows what it weights w/o my azz behind the wheel.
I need to get the friggn EU in my car, its going to be a year soon since I got it. Customer cars come 1st- they pay me

revs higher? ever tried to rev your vq35 to 7500 on stock rod bolts? I didnt think so.
Again, you're comparing your car to a 9 year old car. That's foolish. A 4th gen with 3.5 will outperform, OUTHANDLE, and straight out outperform your 6th gen. Ever go to an autocross? Ever go to the track? Find me a 6th gen that got into the 13's untuned, all motor, for about 1000 bucks worth of mods.
And as was said before, (and i'm reinforcing the fact here) DandyMax's car will destroy any 6th gen.
Let me know when you wanna go to the track, we'll compare times. Make sure to get a race weight as well.

You load up your car with those options, I load up mine. And I'm telling you "absolutely" I will out accelerate and out-corner you.
And um,
It's a sad thing that so many people on the .org put so much emphasis on 1/4 mile times. You tryin' to compete in the NHRA??? It's about acceleration, braking and cornering!
Of course you know that.
You wanna go fast in a straight line go get yourself a 90's Mustang, install a Vortech SC and you'll go real fast in a straight line. You'll spend more time at the track and less time in the shop too.

Your point is senseless because anyone can swap a motor and go faster. Like I've been saying, Stock motor.

Alright.... I've had enough of this BS.
Maxima was always THE pinacle of the "family sedan". It was ALWAYS THE fastest FWD sedan you could put your family into.... I'm sorry that the 10 year old 4th gens are not "cutting it" for you anymore. But 10 years ago they where THE ****. Now 6th gen comes around, it has NOTHING on the competition- absolutely nothing. That VQ engine that we all love, really nothing to brag about anymore as its hauling a big fat pig of a sedan around.
Sure 4/5th gens have the terrible handling beam in the rear.... whopptie fukn doo. I bet you my Maxima, with the "oooo sooo bad beam" will run circles around your upside down bath tub.
I subscribed to this thread to hear about WHY our Maximas don't CUT IT as far as magazine worthy cars.... NOT to read about some friggn TN built busted up tooth looking front end jelly bean on wheels that the 6th gen is.
So stop cluttering up my friggn INBOX with responses to this thread that mean as much to me, (and 99% of the people in this thread) as last weeks lotto numbers.

From 2002-2004(5.5 and 6th Gen) there was NO 4dr, V6 car under 35 grand with the power of the Maxima. Do your research before you speak.
Before you go back and do your research remember I said, 4dr, V6, NA.

You fail to make any points and come back with opinion. Tell you what, my lawnmower can outcorner, outaccelerate, and outCUT your 6th gen. Trust me bro. In the end, the lawnmower will come out on top. Don't ask me why, I just know. It was made in 2006.

Excuse me ? Do you recall Acura TL with 270HP ? 2004 is the year the Maxima died, and when the TL came out. And what the Max runs circles around the TL eh ? I do not think so.... YOU do you research. TL is everything the new Maxima should have been- aggressive styling, great handling, great looking AND feeling interior- but with a VQ under the hood. What did we get ?

why do all you guys think so new?
if the mag wants something unique gove em something unique and doesent always have to be expensive....but it helps....
i dont know about other generations but i know in the 2nd generation over seas in europe and australia and other places maximas came RWD in the saem chassis, converting a domestic one (domestic being U.S. because not every one lives there) shouldnt be too hard, and then it would leave room for a VG35ER (that funky xterra/frontier supercharged motor) and then modify it a little bit.
it may not be a super badass 600WHP flashy siper pimp mobile extravaganza but it would be different, when was the last time you saw a boxy thing like that lay down the rubber?....thinking about it, the power to weight ratio would be pretty good.
i have always in the back of my mind thought about this but i would like to see some one try it first too.
any way thats just my take on this whole thing

God ya'll need to just stop this BS. Allblackmax, your kinda biting off more than you can chew. Im sick of seeing the 6th gen bashing because I disagree with half of whats said. Not all 6th gen members are idiots but we still get thrown into the category. Whatever though, this thread is rediculous.

2nd gen Maxima- that chassis didn't come in RWD.
1st gen Maxima- aka 810 Datsun came with RWD and it had a venerable L-series straight 6 motor in it. That model came in sedan and wagon.
There is no VG35ER, its a VG33ER with 210HP vs 170 of the VG33E motor. The motor you WANT in the 810 is a RB or a highly modified L28ET with a L30 Diesel crank But what do I know, I drive a 5th gen that blows compared to the 6th gen.

I think I know, since I do work AT ACURA as a technician. And YES Hondas J-series motor CAN compare with that junk Nissan has been producing they call VQs in the last few years. Atleast our engines don't burn oil till their rods hang out the side of the block like most of the current Nissan engine line up.

But you're right,
If the Max was RWD 400-600HP would be the norm. Well, I can only speak for the 6th Gen.

Whatever you can do to that engine I can do to the VQ35 and still be a better car.
Hell, I'm pushin' over 300 lb/ft or torque and all I have are intake, headers, and cat-back.
Whoever said a 1995 Max is better than a 6th Gen Max been sniffin too much VQ30 exhaust.

Those quotes you posted are not me bashing. You need to read the posts from the beginning.

Do I smell a lock coming on?

Now leave this topic once and for all, and let people who give a da_mn about performance converse in tranquility.

Motor Trend Test of the 04 TL A-Spec package- no power add ons here just wheels and .25" lowering kit with diff springs and shocks + body kit.
2004 Acura TL TL A- SPEC
0-60 mph, sec 6.0 5.7
1/4 mile 14.44 @ 98.17 14.25 @ 97.81
Braking, 60-0, f t 141v 119
Slalom, mph 62.5 66.1
Skidpad, g 0.77 0.83
Motor Trend article - Six Appeal Maxima 6spd vs Audi A4 3.0 Quattro.
This is a fast car, boys and girls. Even with its full load of luxury gear, the SE can flash from zero to 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds. The quarter takes 14.8 seconds at 97 mph.
Have a nice day.

I stand corrected. I'll still leave a TL. I have more torque and the TL weighs 100 pounds more than the Max.
