All he has to do is do t and don't blow the engine. 121mph is going to be extremely hard to beat.

 

not really, but everyone seems to think the motor is the weak link. Its all about tuning considering both Maximas trapping 120+ are on a stock motor. Mardi will destroy this time once he gets the 3.5 bottom end in. Im not going to continue to go OT in this thread so i will leave it at that...

 

So Mardi you have gone so far with the max what will be the stopping point? 10's 9's or is there not one...

 

10.99 requires some crazey safety equipment . SFI scatter shield, aftermarket axles (need anyways) and a few more items. As of now to compete in sanctioned events and even at most tracks when you run 11.49 or faster you need a 8pt roll bar, fire proof jacket etc. I'd like to see 10's on slicks, then I can take the slicks off and work on the street tire set up.

 

Make a trip to NC, you can run 10's in reverse if you wanted too, with the sunroof open and arm out the window in a t-shirt.

 

That's exactly what I was telling him the other day. You can run a 2.0 in an old Pickemup truck, no tailgate, the back full of rednecks, dogs and beer cans at Rockingham and they won't say a word to you.

 

Matt and Matt, I'm going to be in NC in August but it might be to hot for me to run down there. Either way, I'll be down there.

 

We can hit up the track then if you want. Hopefully I'll have the piece up and running again in that timeframe. Shoot me a pm when your heading down here so we can set something up.

 

Will do.......

 

man the announcer there was like " well look at this nissan here lining up against the mustang...he probably came straight from church and told his wife hes out with his friends....lets see what this nissan can do" then it just got real quiet after he flew past the stang

 

Hahahaha!!!!!! Yup, that's how it will be from here on in when Matt heads to tracks that haven't seen what a modded Max can do.

 

That's half the fun. Mardi needs to line up against a stock Viper. It would be hilarious.

BTW, how fast was the stang? When I was up against a 95 GT last year the guy said he'd leave me a 1/8 mile headstart.

 

I just thought I would throw in some stats from car-stats.com for comparison

So he has a Supercar now.......I like that.

 

And let's say that these cars cost slightly more than what it cost Mardi to get there.

 

I doubt the owner of any one of those cars could give two ***** if a Maxima beat them in a straight line. Well excluding the Viper which isn't in the same class as the others listed.

 

You know what a good 1/4 race would be? This would somehow exist on a 3 lane drag strip...
Left lane- Mardi
Center- F50
Right- Hal/Neal's car

HA!

 

It's still humiliating. And unexpected.

 

ROFL, you guys are great, thanks!

 

Time to make it handle like a supercar

 

That's the impossible part tho.

 

I think they would be damned surprised though.

 

ohh no doubt, but I just think some of these guys get a little carried away with there comparisons.

 

bwaaahahah you guys are funny. True, Mardi's max would probably beat any of those cars in a 1/4 mile race but try racing anyone of those cars from a roll. Sooner or later, you will run out of gear and they will keep pulling and pulling. lol

I witnessed a dsm hang with a viper from 40-150? and after that the viper pulled away like crazy becuase the talon was already at redline in 5th. hehe.

With stock rev limiter we run out of gear at like 158-161, with 7000 its more like 168-171 going from memory.

 

neal: is that from personal expirence or from math?

 

damn...much props...11.5 in a family sedan...who would of thought....

wow i wish i had a fast car now...slow a.ss 16.xx pos

 

Nice **** i am going to the track as soon as it opens. I am pretty excited to see what i could pull. I am hopping maybe like 14.9 around there.

 

best maxima timeslip ever, we need a hall of fame one day, lol ! a .000 reaction time with a 11 second run !

 

Man mardis...congrats on the run! First all of this all-motor stuff, but now this. Congrats!

 

outrageous. these timeslips just made my day. keep up the awesome job mardi.

 

Didn't sr2 already blow an engine?

 

how many times are you going to reply to the same post? Stop trolling and trying to stir up crap...

 

BOOM gotta pay to play. Mardi still has the record and his engine is still intact.

 

Wow, haven't been on the org in a while. Great to see good things come. Congrats!

 

 

Nope. Get your facts straight people.

 

ok, sroory to ask this, but out of curiousity (the answer is most liketly yes)

do oyu have LSD, if not would that hel alot more, well I do belive you have, or else you car wouldn't be able to pull as fast.... (I dunno)

BTW you just brought out the love for modding that I lost when I crashed my car a few weeks ago.... soon I will start with my new maxima.

 

i believe Mardi has an open differential tranny. not 100% sure though.

 

He's got a quaife.
