How Fast is a 2002 Maxima SE 6-Speed?
#5
cant be above low 6's for the 6 speed... the 95 5 speed was 6.6 and i have a 95 auto... the 02 auto that i test drove had a lot more pep than my car, so the 6 speed has to be a good amount lower than 6.6 in my opinion

Hopefully a road test is done soon! I whould have thought the car mags whould have already done a test by now, I know they have had the oppertunity. I see a camparison test in the new future.
My guestimate is 0-60 in 5.9-6.1, I whould love to see a stock max break into the 5's! Somebody test the damn thing all ready will yeah, I can't take in any more . I say 5.9 to 60!

so i see it high 13's low 14's

Hahaha...
I will laugh so hard if the 6 speed redlines at 58mph in second gear. You know that their just going to lower all of the gear ratios slightly, which is the last thing they need to do in a torquey FWD car. That limited slip will save our butt, but all I want is a 6th gear/granny gear added to my 4th gen for a smidge of gas mileage and lower engine noise at 80mph.
The gear ratios are fine the way they are!

Actually the Alitma is 1 lb heavier than the Maxima

when i stopped at the dealer to check out the altima and the max, i was talking to a salesman for a little while... he said the max actually weighs like 700 pounds more but thats impossible lol

700LB'S

Wow,
I had no idea they weighed the same amount. My new guess would be 6.0 0-60 and 14.5 1/4 mile which are 540ia/GS430/A6 2.7T,S4 numbers, which in other words is outstanding. My question is, with those kind of stats now, what the hell could they possibly aim for next year?
#21
My guess is 6.2ish and 14.5-6ish. What could they shoot for for next year? Well, for 03 when they're redeveloping the Maxi again or whatever, I guess the speculation is, it's going to get bigger, and probably less of the old Maxima SE image than before. Might be time to look at that Altima.

I'm curious as to why the Max would have less drivetrain loss. I think 6-speeds if anything have more drivetrain loss than a 5-speed. Are you basing it on something else?

Mark my word, the 6 speed will run upper 14s. The Altima that MT tested was a production model. Typically, preproduction models are always quicker. I'm pretty certain that when MT or another mag test a production Altima, it will run upper 14s at best. The same thing happened with the TL-S. They got it to run 14.7s with a preproduction model, but could only muster 15.0s with a production version. Same thing goes for the Supra TT. Don't forget that MT corrects ALL thier times to standard. For all we know, their Altima could have run a 15.4. If I corrected everyones ets in the org we'd have quite a few Maxs running low 14s right now. 6 speeds and LSD won't do much in the 1/4 mile. Peg-leg launches don't seem to be a problem with these cars because 63% of the weight is over the fronts unlike a Mustang or F-Body. The LSD is more for turns, not straightline. Most likely the gearing will be slightly lower than the standard 5-speed with 5th and 6th being overdrive. The VQ already puts out a lot of torque so deeper gearing isn't really necessary in this car. Chances are the you'll still be finishing the race in 3rd like in the 00-01 VQ. I'd bet low 15s will be what most guys in here get with a 02 6 speed. Most guys can't get any better than 15.3s with the 00-01 5 speed so why would we think they could get low 14s in the 02? Like we've in the 5th gen dynos, it doesn't look like all the 227hp is really there. I doubt all the 255-260hp is really there either in 02.

why you ask?
because Sleeper can get 13.3 out of a Supercharged 98 that doesn't have 250 hp and Larry can get 14.3 out of a CAI and Y Pipe 2k max that doesn't have 250 hp
wether or not the granny shifting maxima owners on this site can get low 14's or high 13's out of the car.. doesn't mean the car is not capable of it..
ok those two guys before.. they don't have HLSD

What I found interesting: At the 2K2 Altima conference, Nissan released 6.2 seconds 0-60 for the 5 spd 3.5 and I believe 7.2 for the auto. In the past I remember them stating that the 4th gen 5 spd will get to 60 in about 7.4 and then three magazines tested at 6.6 and 6.7. So my point is that they actually tend to be modest when releasing performance figures, so I think this might be the real deal.
