I wouldn't be suprised if it weighed 3300 pounds.

2F2F was actually a pretty decent movie... the Skyline... I didn't mean this to turn into a F&F thread.
Anyways, this weekend I was out racing my friend's stock 5spd WRX. He, of course owned my *** from a dead stop but as someone said in a thread long ago... on a roll you have a chance or stop and go... he couldn't launch hard, I actually kept up!
It was a nice confidence boost, he told me to just keep my Max and mod up. (I was considering going Evo8, still will in 3 yrs)
Jime's car is awesome... his car is an inspiration

Are you sure you've played the game? Minivan's? Camry's?
The Accord it has is the TYPE R BTW. I don't wanna babble about a video game but the reason a Maxima will never be in video games is because it is not a sport's car. Period. They are focusing on STOCK cars that are performance oriented. The Maxima just happens to have one hell of an engine but wasn't intended to be raced. The trick though, is getting the rest of the car up to par with the VQ.

Of course I've played the game! Your right though. My recollection of the cars in the game IS a little off, but you guys know what Im getting at. There aren't any Minivans and I mixed up Camry for Corolla....but come on, a COROLLA?!...since when is this a performance oriented vehicle? And an Accord is just as much a family sedan as the Maxima, so I still don't see why GT2 left it out. I've ran the 300z into the ground, so it's just not intresting anymore. But If I could play with a Maxima...Woo Hoo!! It'd be a Brand new game all over again.
