I wish I had the money to get another car. If I did, I would stop modding my Maxima immediately and get myself an used MKIV SupraTT. Talk about endless horsepower!

Either that, or hold onto my Maxima until I finish school.

I guess all us NOS heads think alike, the only three cars i did look at were a 2k2 6-spd, TOO MUCH MONEY right now. A used S4, to new to be cheap, and an M3, fits me just perfect. now i have to decide if i want a 95 which is OBDI or a 97 which is OBDII. i don't plan on any hardcore mods at all so i'm leaning towards a 97 just because i want to move up in the time line. time will tell, it's still gonna be till january.

Probes

I have a 1995 Probe GT, 5sp.

Most stock 1st gen (89-92) and 2nd gen (93-97) Ford Probe GT's with a normal driver can run anywhere from 15.5-16.5 in the quarter.

For modifications, the 1st gen GT's turbo can get easy boost up to around 15psi and into the 14's with a good driver. For a 2nd gen, mid 15's are normal for a good driver. Even with the most bolt on mods, 15 flat is about par for a 2nd gen with a good driver. To see 14's a PGT needs either the Japanese-spec KLZE engine (from the MX6) or some laughing gas. There are a few PGT's with limited production s/c and turbo kits and custom turbos that have seen 13.5-14.1 times. Supposedly, there are 2 n/a PGT's that ran around 14 flat to win some NIRA (I think) n/a 6 class. I don't follow things too closely, so I'm not sure about credentials.

The 93 2nd gen's are about 100lbs lighter and have lower/stiffer springs, so they're generally faster in the 1/4 and in SCCA GS autox. There's a PGT doing pretty good at SCCA National Tours in STS, but I don't think the PGT is the car for the class. The 2nd gen MX6 is about 100lbs lighter than a similar Probe, so those are worth watching out for.

I was looking to find average quarter mile times for Maximas on this forum just for those times when you never know when you'll encounter a redlight. I know the PGT and Maxima are fairly similar in magazine stats. I'm happy to hear about the 2002 Maxima and its hp/tranny/lsd improvements. I certainly wish I had 190, 222, 227, or 255 hp that the previous/current/future Maximas have had.

If anyone needs more Probe info, let me know.
