I think I have a factory freak :)

Well on my way home today I see HIDS coming up on me and I take a closer look and its a 2k4 coming up...anyways I was already doing like 80 and decided to speed up as well. Basically both of us were full throttle and it was basically even? I am not sure if the 2k4 is supposed to be faster than my 2k2? We were both auto, and when I got off the highway I pulled over and talked to the guy- he asked if I was 6 spd since my car moved like one. He told me how he traded his 2k3 he had for the 2k4 and how my auto 2k2 was faster than his 2k2 6 spd it seemed? Anyways other people have been in my car with 2k2+ and said my auto is fast as well...right now I just have a on my face...

Factory freak claims require timeslips or dynos. Got any?

Which one loses?

My buddies GS400 is a '98 with a Swift Racing intake and piggyback.

My SE is bone stock.

I would out 60ft him putting him at my back bumper then by the middle of third he would blow by me badly.

A properly driven 6 speed should hold a GS off even better then that.

that "poorly" driven 6 speed ran back to back 14.3 runs BONE STOCK 1 week later..

so maybe your buddy just doesn't know how to turn on his power mode and floor the gas on his GS

My track must be *****-slow because I've seen 4 GS400s run out there now and the quickest one went 14.6@96mph and he had the cheap 16" wheel on. The others are running 14.8-15.0@95mph. One was at the track a few weeks ago when I was there. Granted the weather was extremely hot, he was only getting 15.0@93 and I was getting 14.6-14.7@94mph. I can't imagine every single GS400 is poorly driven because it doesn't take much skill to turn off traction control and push the gas. I use to really want a GS400 because they were suppose to be so wicked, but until I see one at my track pull a sub 14.4, I'll look elsewhere.

The Maxima loses and yes the 6 speeder could drive.

from a stop too around 80 a gs400 isn't unbeatable. From highway rolls gs400's will own n/a maximas even the ones that run the fastest times in the world at the slowest track ever built

That's because your car has DP instead of HP.

He said 0-90 in an auto. You have videos of 0-90 specifically?

Race him from a highway roll and come back and tell us what happens... I'd think that the Maxima would only be able to hold off until maybe 60mph or so... Got vid?
