How about 97.79mph WITHOUT the VIM????? I did that WITHOUT slicks and consistently rip 97mph traps. How's that for a 4th gen at 1100' above sea level. If I come to your track, I'm certain I'd easily run 100mph+

good for you I'm so proud of you last time I looked you were stuck in the 15's with you wonderful VIM. I know its the weather and you car was messed up and you higher above sea level. Did I mention you were special. You join phatguy with your childish posts. I didn't see you nailing neal when he ran 13.999 with slicks. I was trapping 96 on my other runs off the slicks and all I have is intake and UDP. You go on with you bad self with your BUT IF 100+ traps.

 

The rims did something for him. You cant't argue with physics.. Lighter wheels with less rotational force do indeed help a car get to the end of a 1/4 mile quicker..

 

Cute.

You had said you NEVER heard of a NA 4th gen running 98mph in the 1/4 mile without the aid of slicks. I proved you wrong and stated I went 97.79mph (close enough to 98mph). What's the big deal? Where in my posts am I "childish"? Please show me.


Dave

 

Don't mind Dave's "if" and "because" posts.. You know what you did bro and dont let anyone talk you down!

 

You ran a 13.9 which is damn good for a Auto, but dont be arrogant about it. A 13.9 isnt a real fast time in general.

 

nice runs blu. wish i could've made it down there to see it. maybe next time?

 

In general to what exactly? That's a darn good time for a NA 2k2 automatic Maxima. I hope you're not saying that a 13.9 sec Maxima isn't fast compared to a Corvette Z06 for example. Then of course it's not that fast. You can't compare apples to oranges. Not sure if that's what you meant.

 

I hope I wasn't coming across as arrogant to anyone. I never once said my car was faster than any other max on this board but some people come in here giving me $hit saying you cheated or it isn't fair this and that. To tell you the truth I was pretty darn happy with my 14.33 @ 96.55 on street tires for my mods.

 

How's that for a 4th gen at 1100' above sea level. If I come to your track, I'm certain I'd easily run 100mph+

 

hmmm sometimes you come across as an a$$hole too

 

 

i missed it who said you were cheating?

 

no one really but from some of the comments I guess I took it the wrong way.

 

I used that page and got 0-60 in 6.43 for my run, but when I plug my numbers into a spreadsheet that calculates it, I get 7.1! WTF?

 

dont worry congrats on your time hehe

 

were do all these new smilies come from. BTW I edited my post before. Thanks

 

congrats..

but i would still prefer a 15 sec stick shift than a 13 second auto..

 

yea yea me too kinda but I gotta live with the decision to buy an auto and make the best of it

 

no doubt.. its always good to suprise a few people.. but unfortuantely.. i got hooked on this tranny since i learned 2 years ago.. reality hit me the other day.. i was like.. damn.. i can't believe i am shifting for every gear.. i was like damn.. i am really driving a stick shift i guess over the years you take it for granted and just do it naturally.. maybe i am going crazy..

 

your last statement could be true

 

As usual you missed the point of the conversation too.

 

You're quite welcome to try and prove yourself wrong.

 

You would run slower at a higher elavation.

 

I was reverting to the comment of Dave's. I know I would run slower at a higher elevation

 

Great runs....both of ya.

 

yea I did get walked from 30-110 around 1 1/2 - 2 cars when he sprayed me on the trip back. But we all know autos and highway runs don't go so well. I believe this run is on video also

 

Blu,
Everyone knows you're an a$$hole - you just disguise it well

Of course I'm kidding. You are arrogant but it's a good thing. If you weren't you wouldn't have pushed so hard to break into the 13's.

There is something special about your car, though. I got 14.8 on the first run and had catastrophe after that. Never got to run when the track warmed up but don't think I'd have made a 14.3 even with my .718 R/T. Your runs were amazing at the track Friday. I have some video, but I don't think Carl got the 13.9 with the board lights. He did get the midpipe thing, I'm pretty sure.

Anyone that has met Matt will know he doesn't bullshiat - he's lowkey and he is arrogant if he needs to be. I like that combo better than a loudmouth.

It WAS a great night to be an Auto 2K2!

 

Nice times!!!!! You must have the fastest NA auto on the board for now.

 

Cool I want to see the awesome push back from me breaking down at the 1/8 mile mark. BTW I was imformed by SR last night that his camera guy got my 13 sec pass of video yippie

 

Please post! I'll confirm that we got a vid of your intake thing tonight. I know he got one of my coast down the track - Looooong video - painful.

 

at least it didn't take you a cool 30+ secs to get to the 1/8 mile marker . I will post it up as soon as SR can get ahold of the guy to rip it for me.

 

SR and Blu are two Maxima.org Elitest ******...

 

 

 

OK you win I don't want a smilie war like before. I want my post to stay open

 

 

Just gimme the light and past the

 

sorry.. i don't drink moet

 

Dom Perignon only, huh? Good taste, but I can't tell a difference for $100 a bottle.
