which is faster? i know the 02 and 03 have more hp and torque, but are they actually faster?

 

Yes, look at the 1/4 mile times or get feedback from other forums members.

 

couldnt find any 1/4th times, only the 00 and 01, and 04+

 

no they arn't faster you see they are accually slower....the more hp and torque you have the slower your car goes

 

hey idiot theres more to the speed of a car than hp and torque, its not uncommon for a car to gain hp and torque and be slower than the previous year. if only i could put a bullet in the head of every stupid ****ing moron.

 

Someone is looking for a

 

cuz that ****er likes to start ****? if he was anywhere near me id slam his punk *** face first into a wall.

 

you keep on e-thuggin your way to a ban....

 

he does have a point though, the auto celica gt is faster than the auo celica gts, but hovz, slow down... your new, expect that on any forum. Don't get riled up by the internet.

 

Go to www.car-stats.com and search for 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. Of course, the 5.5 Gen is faster. Any moron knows that!

 

We have hundreds of listings on THIS site and they are NOT hidden.

Yes, the 5.5th gen Maximas are faster stock. Just be careful what you say on here as personal threats and attacks can result in a ban.

 

GD that's funny. Thanks for the laugh! Werd.

 

Depends... depends on driver, mods, driving conditions, whether one car has tires or not, etc... under what exact conditions are you referring to?

 

How about we start with yours?

 

e-thugz... they be mad funny y0! holla atcha boi! ooohhhh, e-bullet

 

I am near you, 2 states away come find me.....

 

guess the ban was an e- then...

 

E-thuggin!!!! On the internet

 

Nope, its just a rumor that 02-03 owners spread

edit: darn I'm too late!

 

Yeah, it's only rumor that no 2k0 or 2k1 has ever run a low 14 in showroom stock condition.

 

 

Geez Ben always starting crap with people miles and miles away........

 

they have one of these is every car forum.

 

 

pssh....if he lived in utah there wouldn't be this probelm and he started it by calling me a punk ***......

 

If he knew anything about acceleration/torque/hp/power to weight/area udner the curve etc, dynos for DEK's, VQ35's, the ansewer would've been simple.

His logic, I think, was more along the lines of a similar comparison, DE vs DEK (3.0L) Where the DEK has 32-37 more hp, but is only marginally, if any, faster .... Not in this case.

 

HP and Torque numbers really don't mean much anymore. I think Nissan rounds up... to whatever they think they can get away with. My dad has a 2002 SE Auto and I have a 1997 SE 5-speed and I am dead even with him up to 90 from a stop. Even when we switch drivers we get the same result. Granted I have a 5 speed and he weighs just a little more, It doesn't seem like his car has 65 more HP and 40 more torque then mine. I think Nissan is starting to BS us.

 

If you're both stock, something is wrong with your dad's car...

Edit: Actually, I take that back. Good driver in a 97 5-speed isn't as slow as I thought.

 

I have never lost to a stock 5.5 auto. EVER! and that was before the Fidanza. After the Fidanza & clutch I am neck and neck with a stock g35 auto seriously and Im on heavy "19's

 

I assume you are a 5-speed, what are mods do you have?

 

y-pipe, short ram intake, short shifter helped out a bit, fidanza flywheel as stated before lowered on tokicos and maxspeeds which also helped believe it or not. Toyo rubber has helped too.

 

Sounds good. Have you taken it to the track?

Does anyone else think Nissan is just making up HP and TQ numbers nowadays?

 

I still feel its not fast enough for the track so, no I havent. I feel kinda weird bringing a sedan to a track amoung all the true sports cars. I feel the max is a great car for daily use and to add a few mods here and there to make yours unique and enjoy driving it but track racing is not my thing with this car. Just a few empty road races at 2 in the morning once in a while.

 

Take a ride in a 5.5 gen 6-speed and all that doubt will be put to rest. Trust me...

 

a 5 speed 5th gen is strong competition to a 5.5 auto off the line and probably up to 80-90 mph. It's on the highway where auto's shine that the 5.5 should take a 5 speed 5th gen. 0-60 i wouldnt be surprised if 5 speed 5th gen is faster but once it approaches high speeds, the 3.5 liter helps bring the auto 5.5 back into the race. If up to 120 i wouldnt be surprised if a 5.5 auto wins.

 

If you go through the posted 1/4 times, 5.5 gen is slightly faster (seems like only about 0.2 seconds) for same set ups, auto/manual, either stock or moded... So it could very well be drivers race...

 

Pardon me but i don't know of any 5th gen autos running high 13's and trapping over 100 MPH with bolt-ons and tuning on street tires. There have been quite a few 5.5 autos though...

Sounds like you 5th gen owners are just bitter. Mod for mod the 5.5 gen with a good driver will be faster. Let's not even start with a manual vs. manual comparo...

 

Ehh anyone with an auto 3.0L willing to race me .. mod for mod .. I'm auto and only have I/H?

 

No disrespect intended to 5.5 gen. Like I stated, looking at 1/4 times 5.5 gen is slightly faster on average considering the same set up... All I meant to say is, given the small advantage of 5.5 gen, that a good 5th gen driver may be faster than a lousy 5.5 gen driver...
