Do you auto-x or drag your maxima ? Any trophies ? I have a feeling you could lay the smack down on alot of drivers.

A 5spd with NOS = Havoc

How would you feel going up against a late 90's integra GSR with headers, intake, and exhaust, 5spd ?

Does that intimidate you

Excuse #1: your car isn't faster than what it was before..
Excuse #2: i pulled you easily (so why didn't you pass me buddy)
Excuse #3: i slowed down
Excuse #4: if it wasn't for the corner i would have passed you

maybe he will think of some more for Saturday which is the family birthday party for his grandfather.. well he has 2 days...

I don't think they made a GS400 platnum. I know they made an LS 400 platnum though.

Based on the pics that Sprnt provided, looks like they do.

Mark's GS is Plat. Edition. Seen it plenty of times.

That works too, but at my ripe old age of 22, I'd like a nice luzury car.

Me want cheap imported performance and luxury.

The 540 is a luxury car, just happens to kick butt at the same time.

Plus, you could probably just drive around in 3rd most of the time....

lexus GS400 beats Maxima in every category incl handling. Sounds like the driver wasn't willing to go over 120, so why is that roadkill? anyway the newer lexus are limited, so these 140 mph contests will become a thing of the late 90's.
Amazing what the original LS400 could do, and that it smokes the LS430 which is puny in comparison.

the driver lives in the next bedroom next to mine.. he is my cousin/roomate.. notice i have pictures of the car.. and yes he was willing to go over 120.. he just didn't do it fast enough

and his car is not limited.. i was in the car with him when he went up to 155 racing a 540i Sport..

and why is it a roadkill? because a kill is a kill .. wether a inch or a mile..

He doesn't seem to like to drive over 120. I was following him when we came down from the Pike, and just got anoyed that he kept slowing down, so I just passed him and kept at a semi steady 130. Car handles well at that speed.
