tonite i rolled around with my buddies....one has a evo 8 and the other a g35 and damn i can explain how much i want to boost my car now.....i got back to my car and floored it and it felt like a ford escort no joke...but anyways wat puts a smile on my face is that i paid 8 for my car while they paid 30 for their cars and i can be just as fast with like 6 grand to do a 3.5 swap and boost....just wanted to share that it felt like a roller coaster riding in those cars.

 

yes the evo is a damm roller coaster for sure, that car is crazy fast stock

 

max felt like the grocery getter it is huh..

I love the G35. Never had the pleasure with the evo yet though.

 

What did you expect? Evo is a rally car that was adapted for the streets. G35c is a rebadged, refined 350Z. Of course your Maxima will perform like an Escort by comparison.

 

g35 is nice but our maximas can keep up

 

Yeah dude G35 isn't fast they run 14s which is 5 speed Max territory. I've raced a few I have a 3.5 in a '97 and I usually put 3-4 cars on them.

 

They can consistently run 14s. They don't need awesome drivers to hit 14s. The fastest stock 4th gen 5spd is Neal's beater which did 14.5. Neal is also one of the best drivers on this board. 90% or more of the 5spd drivers on this board won't consistently hit 14s.

 

This is a natural feeling when driving a newer car.

I was driving my Girlfriend 05 mustang (Rented,V6, and Auto) and I enjoyed the torqe that it had, got back in my car and it wasnt as torqy but my car is much older and tuned different.

I think its natural for most of us to get into another faster car and enjoy the ride, then feel let down when we drive our own cars home later that night.

 

Well sh8t Rome......Ive driven a few boosted Maximas......and my car felt like a slug afterwards.

Screw an Evo and G......those are 'sports' cars. Sleeping grocery getters > *

 

For once, I partially agree with our resident herb-ivore.

 

You know it!

 

yeah i just watched them race on this long straight away behind buildings where no one works at....the evo had the G the whole way by atleast 2 car lengths....also when they turned around and came by they both said they got up to like 95mph so it was a decent race but im sure the G wouldnt have caught up

 

wow...what kinda G was it???any mods on those two cars???whats the deal??a lil dissappointed since the G lost.

 

The grass is always greener on the other side.

My friend drives a 528i and when he drove a 4th. Gen Maxima, he loved the response better than his BMW. Just be happy with what you have.

 

well i aint scared of no g35 ! but as for as the evo 8, run to the hills my maxima brothers, that car will sink its teeth into the max and take out a big bite ! two fine cars though, and that g35 coupe is beautiful !

 

haha...believe it or not...my target car is the Evo...but i got a llllooooonnnnnggg way to go

 

G35C run low-mid 14s don't they? The EVO 8 runs low-mid 14s as well high 13s with a good driver.

I say 3.5 Swap should take out both. But the EVO just has to do a few little tweaks and it's all over again for the Max

 

last i check evos run mid to low 13's....a 14 sec pass is shamefull in that car

 

it seems the 3.5 swap is becoming a common mod for a Maxima, how much is the damage to do this swap?

 

Depends on if you do it yourself or not. Tilley charges 3K and that includes parts and labor. Nismo3112 did his himself for about a grand.

 

2-3K..........................

 

what's whp on a 3.5 swap?

 

210-220, I think when tuned and mated to a 5spd.

 

parts as in HE goes and finds YOU a motor ??? Like basically you give him 3gs and hes got it all covered like butter?

 

Yes, you give him three grand and your car for a day...you will have a 4.5gen the next day.

 

guys c'mon, i know EVOs are pretty damm fast but it's a launch car. that AWD car is quick off the line, but on the highway, it's not too quick. altima SE-r's walk by that car 10 out of 10 times from a 70ish roll. my friend has one and i launched with him and he STALLED, so i'm proud to say i beat an evo from a launch by 4 cars

 

2 to 3 grand to make my car 1/2 to 3/4 of a second faster in the quarter mile is pretty steep...yeesh...talk about that old addage "how fast do you want to go? How much money you got?"

 

That's the tale of 2 different cars with 2 different purposes...one being an acceleration monster the other being a high-speed autobahn stormer.

 

its not only that...but now you have a less milage beastier engine...im down im gonna start putting pennies in my piggy right now

 

I ve beeten on a few 35c coupes already.... including stick

 

1/2 to 3/4 of a second faster?

Can't remember his name JClaw possibly?? He's running low 13s I believe with a little extra work he could be hitting 12s soon.

If you ask me running 12s all motor is more impressive then with boost. But boost is still great!

 

THATS IT!!!!!

I've had it with all this BS evo talk. People are comparing the EVO to a maxima, are u kiding me. They are too different beasts. Why aren't people talking about EVO vs. Skyline, a car nissan intended for racing?? I'll tell u why, because the EVO couldn't Hold a candle to the Skyline. and I'll tell another thing, Mitsubishi is the same company that built the planes that attacked pearl harbor, the Zero. So u can lick Mitsu crack and i'll stick to my Nissans

 

Let's take this one, one at a time...

First, the Evo has been compared to the Skyline, what we all know as the G35. It is faster than a G in a straight line AND in the twisties.

Second, what's this about Mitsubishi and Japanese planes? Are you seriously bringing up WWII ****? Okay, let's not use anything related to IBM because Hitler used IBM machines to help exterminate the Jews. You're not allowed to want a BMW or even think one looks nice because they helped build German fighters that fought against us in WWII. Don't play Ubisoft games because the French parent company is anti-blahblahblahblahblah.

 

AHAHAHAHHAHA WTF are you talking about? people compare just for HA HA's, they don't compare to shut the other car down at every aspect. everyone of us just throws opinions and experiences and we all talk... bottom line... who really cares? maybe you do

 

yes a stock max and a stock evo are on completely diff level BUT some of the maxes on this site would love to compare their cars to a evo....now how many other family sedans (aka granny cars aka grocery getters aka 4 by 4s w/e people call our cars these days) that are in the maxima class can you compare to a evo.... a camry??? no so its like a knock on to evo drivers that they paid 30 g's for a car when ours can be just as fast with about 6 grand engine work into it

 

Put that six grand into an Evo and all we'll see are tail lights...

 

Please tell me you're not serious???? If you are using this argument, why are you driving ANYTHING Japanese?

 

I'm just tired of hearing HOW FAST THEY ARE

This is FAST!!!

SKYLINE

 

yeah 6 grand ON TOP of the 30g's that you just spend buying it......

 

plus the 6g in insurance a year.......
