[QUOTE=nalc;6623626]Ack! I hate on-ramps. There's always some d-bag ahead of me that goes on the on-ramp at like 20 miles an hour, then takes forever to get up to speed on the highway, and I always just want to take the ramp really fast and merge quick. QUOTE// I SECOND THIS I HATE SLOWIES LOL

WORD! One dude I used to be friends with said "All Nissans are underengineered garbage" but then I linked him the Ward's best engines list and he said nothing to that.
awesome comparison
You know you're driving a VE when
... your LSD kicks in
... you have an original 4DSC sticker
... you have independent suspension!
... the 5sp shift lever came out of a schoolbus
... magazines call your car a 'poor-man's-bmw'

^ I'm not a traitor. I still have my 4th gen and always will. But just face it...the maxima is a FWD grocery getter. Its not even in the same league as a twin turbo AWD audi. And I would assume your "comparison" is strictly in straight line acceleration since anything AWD will destroy our FWD understeering grocery getters on a real track. Now the fact that you're comparing a maxima to an S4 is a shame. You obviously don't know a damn thing about cars.
I've had my 4th gen for almost 9 years now. And I got my moneys worth out of it a long time ago.
And BTW I didn't pay 30K for my Audi. *cough....**** bag cough cough*

You know your driving a VQ when you keep up with Trans Ams, G35s, Evos, etc. or anything that wants to race beyond 100mph 
You know your driving a VQ when you spin 1st, chirp 2nd and in 3rd pull to the right
You know your driving a VQ when you can hit 140mph
You know your driving a VQ when that cocky BMW owner looks in suprise that he lost to a car that's a quarter of the price
You know your driving a VQ when you challenge 3.5s in your 3.0
You know your driving a VQ when you pick on hondas, allowing their vtteeeecccc to kick in then proceed to blow by them
You know your driving a VQ when your exhaust turns heads as you pull up to the grocery store......
You know your driving a VQ when you swear you can keep up with that bike, even if it's a 600 or up? lol

You know you're driving a VQ when the engine feels smoother at redline than most cars' engines feel when they're OFF.
when you can't pass your emissions test because of a CEL.
when two weeks later the CEL goes away and you can pass your emssisions test having made no repairs.
when you have to buy another maxima because you know in your heart that you have to have two, because by the time your 4th gen dies, you won't be able to find a decent 5th gen with under 200K.
when you can't imagine ever buying any other 4 door sedan.
when you contantly comb craig's list and ebay looking for a 98-01 maxima with less than 60K so you can have a spare for when your DD craps out.

When you enjoy the awesome sound of the engine.
