However, they did not properly tested the 2000 or 2001 Maxima to run close to that time! Everyone knows its possible to do 6.7sec again with the new Maxima, but they might not want to or they might not be able to with the different climates and condition of the car.
Maybe if Motor Trend could do some magic again, like they did with the Maxima back in 1995, a 2002 Max with 6.7sec would be damn impressive!

Read carefully before you post!! 95 does 0-60 in 6.6s. 2000 does it in 6.7s. It says on the brochures!

7 might be correct for aan unbroken in 2002 I35, considering I got a 6.7 in an unbroken in 02 MAX. I would say once broken in it will produce a 6.7 or 6.8 and the 02 MAX a 6.4-6.5 time. With the way the mags. are testing these cars the Auto are closing the gap.

From Nissan news:
2k1 SE 5spd 3199
2k2 SE 6spd 3224
2k1 SE auto 3245
2k2 SE auto 3261
That's 25lbs for the manual and 16 for the auto.

Even a dead clock is right 2x a day. LOL.
Here's some gems from MotorTrend.
Car of the Year
1988 Pontiac Grand Prix
1983 AMC / Renault Alliance
1981 Chrysler K Cars, Dodge Aries /
1980 Chevrolet Citation
1971 Chevrolet Vega
Part of their problem is that the only select cars that are all new.
