here you go buddy.

Lets end this Maxima/Type S thing once and for all. Middle September lets meet up at the track and see which car is faster. I go to the track in Union Grove, WI. All of you are invited. I will post exact date later on when I get back. Do we have any takers?

I think the bigger question is...Do we have any active member from WI?

we are dicusing this cuz of one of you members come over to our forum and saying he can beat the CLS and TLS. He says maximas are faster..


I agree i say we wait till the 2002 6-speed comes out and then race. That would be fair.

well i take back what i just said.. i was thinking 4th Gen..

a 5th Gen 5spd and a 2002 CL-S are pretty evenly matched..

the problem is.. the CL-S is an Auto so it doesn't take much to be consistent on times..

the maxima is a manual transmission... so guy (a) can run 14's.. guy (b) in chicago per say might not..

if its auto vs auto.. then the CL-S wins again..

If you are talking about Russ then please don't class us by other members opinion.. Racing at the track.. yeah thats all fun and games.. but if unless you are racing THAT member then it doesn't make sense..

No sense in fighting someone elses battles over someone elses grudge match..

I posted last week to race anyone in the CT area.. and even though i didn't race any CL-S.. i met a pretty cool guy from Westport CT..

good to bad drivers of course..

Ben.. no reason to lock anything.. the guys came over here and are being respectful and all about business.. its put up or shut up.. .obviously someone started something over there.. if we can go over there board then they can come here.. and they are behaving better than people from here over there

Depends on the driver... I've seen 15.5 to 14.3 (mildly modded NA).

Supercharged....

SprintMax,

You're cool as hell. I love to race..its my hobby, and I always like meeting new people. This is a friendly invite nothing more. I respect both cars very much, its just that things on our forum were getting way out of hand with one person. But it would be cool to see some modded/stock Maximas go against modded/stock Type S.

well ok, im not into racing much.. but i did go to the track with sprio last night, with my TL-S i got a 15.1 all 3 times, keep in mind i never raced before, plus i have a system in the trunk.


Spiro's CLS actually got a 14.7, but i personaly think he can get a 14.5 if he lowered his tire pressure.

So a maxima 5-speed with an intake alone, can do a 15.1 like me? Im not saying its not possible, i just dont know.

Yes but i know tempers have flaired on a couple boards and everyone has been getting the wrong impression of ALL maxima owners.. just wanted you guys to know you are welcome here and we are all cool..

I would post in the Upper midwest forum.. you might get more response there.. most times a lot of people stick to their regional forums because they don't want to read the everyday BS in the general forum..

Stay a while.. enjoy yourself.. watch out for Y2KevSE he only looks fast.. but he will try to intimidate you

Yeah, this is RussMaxManiac talking the smack. He does what we moderators despise "outsiders" doing: talking a bunch of smack, getting into measuring contests, and just generally being disrespectful all for the sake of being a Honda hater.

On behalf of dot org members, I send my apologies and condolences on you having to put up with him.

I'm thankful that your post is the exception to what outsiders usually post around here, and you are welcome here anytime.

There is a member on this forum that goes by the name "Acura2000CL-S" (or something to that effect). He frequents the 5th gen forum and talks smack left and right. Obviously, you guys aren't like him.

As Sprint and Bill stated, you are welcomed here as long as you stay civil (like now). There are some regular members that are not Maxima owners here, i.e. SteVTEC moderator of SHO.org, so stay as long as you guys want.

HEY!!!

Well...maybe not "active" per se...but i'm here for hours
every day while i'm at work...I just don't bother logging in
unless I have something constructive to add to a thread.

Kills? You've heard all the ones a stock Max could make.

That annoying detonation problem I had? I know how to use the Search function.

The accident I had at the beginning of the month? Minor.

This is probably why i'm still a Newbie after almost 6 months...

Your car is WAY to nice to be trashing on it at a race track.
