A couple of nights ago I "raced" a 2002/3 Corvette. Those things are pretty quick! I passed him on the right and he must have gotten pi$$ed cos he passed me pretty quick when it narrowed to one lane. He caught me off guard and so I let him pass. But I was on his butt all the way to 120 MPH! He must have been thinking WTF ... a 4 door Maxima can stay on his tail?!?! Hehe! Would have loved to have raced on a two or more lane road.

Does anyone know what kind of HP/TQ those things have? I am not very familiar with vettes.

 

i think the base is 350 and the zo6 ups to a little over 400.

 

I think it is 500hp at the crank for the new ZO6 I could be wrong but close, not sure about tourque, it has to be a buttload though.

 

I think you can keep up/beat a Z06 on the highway. Not off the line though
FWD

 

If I remeber correctly the HP on a 2002 is 420 HP

The Tq I think is 430 FTLBS

I do not know about the 2003

 

405HP and 400ftXlbs torque on the zo6 and 350hp and 360ftXlbs on the regular one

 

I do not think so, as the Vette has 350 hp/375 torque and weight of 3250lbs plus cd of .29 with a top speed of 165 mph. (stock) Z06 is 405hp in 02 and 03.

Did you notice that he has a turbo?... I'd almost bet at 11.5PSI he's putting as much to the ground as a '03 Z06. Sure you got the Maxima on aerodynamic's, but his car probably weighs about the same as the 'vette.

In a quick search, I've found that all the '02 Z06's I found dyno'd between 350-360 HP and 340-350TQ.

 

i don't see why it isn't posible.. he pulled a BPU +++ Supra from a roll and those supra's run low 12's ..

 

How many BS flags have you seen in this thread yet? He rode the *** of one all the way up to 120, and as Sprint said, his car is more than capable of beating one from a roll.

 

doesn't turbo97se have more power & torque than a new z06??
i have no doubt that his max can pull on a vette from a roll, if not stay side by side with one

i didn't know vettes were that light..3250lbs only? guess that's from all the fiber glass???

 

Come on guys a Corvette!?!?! Lets be honest Dont get me wrong his turbo max is one insane piece of machinery but a 2k2 or 2k3 vette guys stop letting your love for the max blind your judgement. I've been a max fan/owner for awhile but a vette Fanatic for much longer, If it was a Zo6 i dont care how many lb's of boost you are running it's going to very hard if not imposible to beat a vette those things are nearly as fast as a Viper. There is just to much brute force there.

 

how much brute force r u talking bout here? u see how much brute force turbo97 has in his car? i've seen little civics beat vettes, y can't a max? i know..i know

 

Think about this statement for a second

 

have you raced at the track yet? i'm curious to see what time you'd run!

 

Impossible to beat? Don't care how many lbs of boost? Tell it to the Supra guys. You have no idea.

 

firstly, I never said I beat it outright. Secondly, if you look at my power and tq, mine are measured at the wheels. The ratings given are probably crank for the vettes. Granted, I don't have all that power across the rev range, but is it so unbelievable that I could stay with him? Maybe you say he wasn't pushing it, well we were both pushing 120, so I'd say he was. If I push 20 psi with lower compression, I'm certain I would have taken him even if it were a z06!

 

 

let me just prove how ignorant you are..

Auto BPU Supra Beats Z06

6 Speed BPU Supra beats Z06

Video:Supra VS Z06, 40 punch

Video:Supra VS Z06, 40 punch part 2

Video:Supra VS Z06, 40 punch part 3

Video:Supra VS Z06, 40 punch part 4

so now we know what the BPU Supra can do to a Z06.. how about the other day on supraforums a guy posts a kill story about Nigel beating him and his friend in his BPU Supra

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....igel+and+supra

 

ok, ok I was getting caught up in the moment i just re-read my post, your right the z06 can get beat by cars that run a lot of boost (I forgot about the Supra.) I wasn't thinking, i love my fathers 2k2 ZO6 more than my max. yeah i know i should have thought of the whole boost thing before i posted it. I'm not quite as ignorant as all of you think i just forgot about a few things. thats all.

On another note how is the turbo kit on auto max's? fitting issues? Brian

 

Some of you dorks that sit at home all day, read forums and have slow cars need to take a few steps back and stop making ignorant comments. It's all about physics and real world experience. Just because YOU haven't done it or can't do it does not mean that someone else can't. It is quite shocking just how fast the Maxima will go on much less hp than many of those other more powerful sports cars. For instance, I raced a Mustang last night that has trapped 120+ MPH in the 1/4 mile. From a 3rd gear roll I got a jump on him and basically held him off untill he gave up in 5th gear. Granted he wasn't being very serious about the race and I was, he pulled me in some at the end of 4th gear and when he went to 5th he claimed I actually started to inch away again.
I fail to see any reason at all why a A32 chassis Maxima that is putting down 372hp at the front wheels can't beat a run of the mill Vette Z06 ona roll from 3rd gear on.

 

I love my max

 

a fully modded maxima can beat alot of STOCK sports cars.. mustangs corvettes ss's...but a maxima cannot beat a mod for mod basis...u take a turbo give the other guy a turbo...etc etc.. any car can go fast with $$$

 

Hmm.... and you quoted the wrong person once and posted this twice. If you accepted this as being directed at you then I rest my case. Nothing to defend.

 

i did kinda get confused on his post.. he seem to be responding to the only person who had his back


See5 just because you own a fcking stock maxima doesn't mena you know **** about their boosted performance.. the Grand National has one of the worse cd .. are you telling me with an upgraded turbo it can't beat a z06 pass 100? stop smoking crack man.. get your head out your as$ and read my fcking post about Nigel beating the BPU +++ supra which has better cd than the maxima

Hey Dork, (your term want to defend it?)
I have more experience than you have years (try me)
The Vette wins off the line ( any problem ?)
The superpower Max can gain, with huge power, gain in the mid range.
At about 100 mph (my contention) it is all over that, in that the cd creates an exponential problem, is that the Vette with it's "limited" hp has an easy ride above 120 MPH. Top speed 165+.
By the way, the prospect of the Max surviving 20 lbs boost are slim.
I own one of each so I am not looking for fight except with

 

Read my post.
The Grand Nat is fast to 100.
I have owned and raced a lot of cars. Am old.
I own a 00 highly modded Vette and a stock Max and do not lack understanding.

 

See5 You responded to my post, i'm a little confused am i the one you are calling the dork? Brian

 

so you are saying any car with a better cd has better advantage over a car that has better Horsepower to weight ratio?


explain this one http://www.clublexus.com/forums/show...ighlight=vette

 

At high speed.

 

you do know that an eclipse GT has the same cd as a vette..

think about it for a second man.. think what you are saying.. you are actually saying a car with better cd is better over 100 mph than a car with better hp/wt ratio.. think about it dood.. i will give you a chance to change your argument

 

Directed to above^

 

Yes!
Check it out and call me wrong,

 

stupid question, but what is cd

 

coieficent drag.. or drag coificent

Sr2Oden^^^^ not me!

 

Thats what i thought, you responded to my post with it, so i didn't know my bad. Brian

 

turbomax= find a guy with a c5 race him on the highway, comeback& post the results!

 

Eclipse, exactly, same cd and no hp and no torque!>compared to the Vette, who would be faster!?
