What is your Favorite Gen Maxima

vq edged ve out slightly.
4th gen edged out 3rd gen again slightly.
from what i hear they were pretty even races. slammed got to the end before aaron 2 of 3 times.
you guys talk about facts well those were the facts. aaron says he has something for andy. then we will see.
these two cars are pretty evenly matched in mods and both automatics. both know how to drive.

Well, Andy did have smaller/lighter wheels than me, GForce ECU, CF hood, Hyperground kit and racing seat. All those mods, probably should make him 3 tenths faster in the 1/4 mile. All the mods I'm lacking, I think I'm doing pretty well for keeping up within 3 inches if his front bumper. 
Frank, we can race also if you want. I didn't say I can own you, but we can see. I also have a little fun grudge match with Alphonso. I might even let him spray his nitrous on his modded VQ 5spd.

i cant wait to see what aaron runs, hes helped me out on a few things and i'd like to think i gave him at little insight on a few others..i know his stuff works, its just a matter of how much of a difference it'll make.
are we arguing about 3rd vs 4th ??
didnt read the whole thread just the first few pages.. here is my encounter a while back http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....ight=nismo2020

your tranny does put you at a huge disadvantage, so between aarons VTC and your tranny, i'd say as soon as(IF) he gets an ECU, you guys should be evenly matched as far as mods go.
just think of your tranny self destruction as weight reduction

how about that one?
I have more...
Neither the 4th gens or 3rd gens are getting updated from the factory and improving, they are what they are. We just need to realize that it all depends on car and driver, heck you can take two 97 SE 5 speeds with the same mods and one will beat the other down. So 4th genners please respect and life is easy, realize that your older brother is right there with you at all times and there is no way around that.

And everybody knows how bad my tranny slips from 1-2 and 2-3, since I don't have a VB mod like you do.
Close races, yes. We'll do it again soon.

My VB mod did shave probably one full tenth in the 1/4 mile. So it does help. And my advanced timing is nothing compared to an upgraded ECU. But advanced timing does help shave atleast one tenth.
So you don't have ECU anymore? And you still want to race? I know it's a friendly race. Probably not to some of the readers up here, but we know each other and it's always a blast when we hit the track.
I am STILL waiting for Fontana to release a stupid winter schedule so I can start making plans for a trip out to SoCal.

Much better gearing for an automatic. That will probably only help no more than one tenth. I have a Hyperground kit now. haha... just a few wires around my engine bay. Might give a half of HP.

my only complaint with CF is that when you simply add it to your car it makes no sense, you are adding weight (I know it is light) but you are still adding on. Now replacing hoods, fenders, trunks, etc...is different. Due to ricers going crazy with CF it is now looked at as rice. On that note...CF rims anyone?
