Anyone else seen this??

http://videos.streetfire.net/Player....E5809&kw=9&p=0

WTF: 4" Greddy exhaust???
WTF: Jet Performance chip???
WTF: Fast maxima???

I really hope this was a joke, but there is too much pointing to this guy being real about the whole situation.

I picked up on that as well. You can also hear the auto shifter clicking when he "shifts" from 2nd gear.

Also, being that the guy has some nice chrome wipers to match his grill he would definitely been a candidate for 6k clutch drop to make the wheel screech.

Personally, I got annoyed with the wait while he had to turn around

Borring...

Man what a borring video, I almost fell asleep. I think if would've been much more interesting if it would've been Steven88's. I would love to see his videos.

Amazing. Simply magnificent! Great Video!



I'm guessing that the Civic's 4' wing slowed him down.

I would rather see a scan of a timeslip at the track than watch that guy rev his car with the AT in "Park" and listen to the tranny slip as it shifts gears.

If his car is so fast, just post a time and a slip. My Guess is probably 15.7 @ 85 mph

I think the "4-inch" GReddy exhaust must refer to the size of the outlet on the tip, although that doesn't look like an SP -- it definitely doesn't have the rolled edge on the tip.

that's a disgrace to the maxima community. if you see this person on the road please run him off the road.

FYI..that's NOT a Greddy exhaust

And posting it on a site filled with American muscle members was smart as well. Im sure this helped with my decision to give a new R33 kit away a little while ago.

I don't think it was very smart to post a speeding video on the net with the license plate clearly shown.

Yes indeed this is another sad day for the maxima community.
It makes you think twice about owning one huh. I'm starting to see allot of riced out maxima's lately. Next thing you know there'll be maxima's riding with Honda's at meets with Fart cans

Hahahahhaa... oh well.

I'm pretty sure that his car is 5sp. With my toasted clutch that's what I sound like when I powershift after a 3k slipping launch.

Seriously, way to edit the 30s out where he was filming NOTHING and then waiting for another car to leave so he could powershift his clutch away again. I wanna drive to RI just so I can smack him.

what do you expect from a 16 year old?? he probably thinks that he has the fastest car on his block. maybe he thinks that its a 4cyl, thats why hes racing the old civic? which has like 90hp? and showing it off on camera. look!! i can smoke a 90hp civic! with a auto revving his engine. is he on the org?
