I'm curious what the breakdown is on here. And post what you currently have, not what you wish you had

people who lose money in bracket racing to auto's are people who can't effectively launch their cars..

i have seen auto times go up and down just as much as 5spd times.. sure it easy when you car has no power.. but try that with a car that has power and see how consistent you are..

check the runs by experience drag racers here who drive stick shift.. their times are usually .3 secs difference..

If only there is absolutely no lag in the auto, I would be happy. However, the lag is what I hate the most. If there's no lag whatsoever, I can care less if I'm slower than a 5spd. However, that's not possible. So, a 5spd swap is in my future plan.

well let me go through my turbo in the trunk so I can be like you and see who has no power. By the way what did your run stock ohh yeah you never had any timeslips or any proof or your turbo and 100 shot. Let me guess your next line come to etown and see whos faster naaaa too far for me bro but keep the internet flaming going its fun. By the way as I recall the fastest max is an auto go figure.

i paid over $4000 for it.. so i think i have the right to be selective to who i show .. besides.. its so much more fun with you guys doubting me over and over again...

realisticly?.. i am waiting for a couple other things to come in.. Subs.. (CKNY ) and body kit and boost controller.. before i start taking any significant pics.. the only pics i took are little pics here and there.. stuff to quiet the masses.. jeff saw.. kevin saw.. thomas saw.. delio saw.. bill saw.. maybe one or two people have also seen.. so as much as you people doubt me.. i still know i got some people in my corner

yeah.. one guy went as far as to issue me and my family death threats because he thought i said i have a turbo to mock him

am i turbo97? like i said.. i am not taking any number of pics until i am done with my projects 2002.. its a personal thing.. we all are different.. ask anyone in CT if they have seen my car since last year.. the answer is no.. i feel that i am not showing or taking pics of my car until i am done with the projects i set out for this year.. hey.. thats just me..

your 02 - 03 Max comment is hillarious.. how many of you 02-03 maxima owners are going to spend the same amount on your car that i spent on mine.. not many.. so at most you will probably buy a y pipe and an intake.. you can't own me mod for mod if you are not welling to spend with me mod for mod..

mod for mod? i have a Turbo and Nitrous.. how many 02-03 Maxima's have that? not many huh? so guess what.. you will still see my tail lights dissapearing in the distance
