I test drove one. Unfortunately, it was and automatic. It was a dog below 3000rpm. The boost comes on hard and fast after that. I definitely think it would be a worthy challenge of any maxima. The handling was nice too, smooth and lots of wheel travel but with no body roll.

 

Well 227hp, awd and stick make for a tough competitor. If the guy knows how to launch their awd system, then it's lights out for the maxima.

 

I read in one of the Car mags, that the 1\4 mile was in 13 sec. range stock. Yum.... Shame it looks like a pi$$ed of Kia

 

u just made my day, loox like a ****ed off kia, LOL!!!!!!

 

Race it from a roll and see how a 5 speed max does against it. Also I don think that they are in the 13s stock.

 

they are a mid to low 14 second car and this is off topic but since we are comparing cars does anybody else agree the aztec looks like a crx on steroids?

 

Don't you mean the other way around? I think a Maxima would have to challenge a Max.

 

My friend has one, we've raced... it's not pretty. I've driven it as well... they just plain pull harder than the Maxima does once boost comes on. They run 14.2-14.4s approximately stock.

 

hey man, don't jock the WRX haha..i'm all about the maxima, but my father's WRX will surely pull away from my max 5 speed. as long as you launch it hard..they will pull like a train hit you from the rear. its super nice quality also..and i think it looks damn good.

 

I saw some kid racing it from 1/4 mile and he got his a$$ wopped cause he didnt launched it right. How are u soppose to launch on awd cars?

 

Test drove one and I was very impressed with it's
performance and ability to handle the corners (going at
55 on a 35mph corner).

I did play follow the leader against an amatuer, he got
me on a straight away but once we hit the curves, he
couldn't handle it and almost crashed. I beat him
no problem. Anybody else that drives half away decent
could of dusted me.

It all comes down to who's the better driver not the
performance of the car.

rev up real high, dump the clutch, and hold on.

 

or if its auto, neutral drop.. but i dont recommend that..

 

I guess the guy just didnt know how to drive it some civic beat it but right off the line no chance for the wrx. yes the civic was spraying but not off the line.

 

i raced one on the highway the other day .. it was real hot out .. from 50-100 he didn't pull more then 1 car ..

stock they don't have that much highway pull

1st of all i agree with the p***ed off kia look... the old one looked so much better... and those damn headlights... what were they thinking? they were following Fords Rally design...
well if the person doesnt know how to launch the car... a 5spd could smoke it... the boost comes in hard 3000+ and well the best times are when you drop it from about 5000 and hold on
yea the engine does bog down pretty badly because of the turbo boost as well as the gearing... with a sweet 6spd it'd be a great car... and if it got rid of the headlights... they should offer a kit to make it look more like the old one

 

do you do this without differential?

 

nah, i don't have to launch hard to win my races.

 

is anyone going to say it *performs* better than a Maxima?

 

My friend has a new WRX, 5-spd. Our track in OKC is slow, but his best time was a 15.1. Its bone-stock, and after looking at his 60-ft times, they were mostly 2.2 - 2.3's. Shouldn't they be more around 2.0 flat?

 

I test drove one and I think it felt a lot stronger on the top and like a civic down low. The suspension is excelent and i had a lot of fun but came to the conclusion that I like my maxima better beacuse of the low end power. I know that with a good driver it win win against most maximas, but if you put some 16-20 punk behind the wheel then I'll kill em 'cause this is a hard car to drive well.

 

i raced one but the owner didn't launch the car like he was supposed to,by 2nd gear i had him about a car and 1/2 by 60mph{shut down for traffic},i believe a max will win a top end race being that both cars 0-100mph time are almost identicle.the wrx tops out at 135mph or so.

 

i kinda like the version on the commericals, the competition one...the one with the fog delete...what is the spd in the slalom and how many g's does it pull?

 

slickismax, i didn't know you was from okc?

how come i never seen your car on the streets?

ever go to 39th and race?

 

A Pumpkins fan, I see. Nice sig.
