Man, the new MAX is pretty fast! Last friday night I was on my way home to VA from Pittsburgh. In Montgomery County, MD I see this Champagne color MAX with Xenon lights flying by so I decide to play along. I get next to him and take off and he was behing me like I'd say 3 carlength. By the time I hit 120mph he was still 3 at most 4 cars behind. As I kept going I slowly pulled, but slowly.

I must say that V6 has got some cojones. Anyway, after hitting 140mph, I didn't look back to see how far cuz I was concentrating on the road. I slowed down to about 90 and he did too I assume cuz he was behind me and was getting ready to take the exit. I then hit the Hazzards Lights to acknowledge "good run" and he high beams me to acknowledge me, I think.

Anyway, if you're on this board, nice run! If you're stock and feel like you lost, don't feel bad, my 540i has Dinan Tranny Sofware, Stage 2 Download, CAI, and Hamann Exhaust. Good Job! Hope to run with you again!

 

Nice!!

 

mmmmm bimmers are yummy..

 

And expensive..

 

but they are so so nice

I didn't put my body kit on yet cuz after I lowered it, I noticed the drop was pretty low. I'll install the kit in the spring, but might do the rear and roof spoiler in the meantime. I think we're gonna have a pretty snowy winter this year.

Here are pics of my unpainted kit...

That's a sweet ride. Supercharge that baby

 

Sharp ride! Wish I could afford one like that. Its nice to hear Bimmer driver running like its supposed to! The ones around here don't do diddly. I also like your web page.... amg_eatr! Keep it shiney side up!

 

he is going to..

 

Let's just say, come spring, those Benz's better watch out!

 

 

How much does Dinan SCer cost?

 

540i.........drool, 6spd 540i w/SC, ouch those things take off like ROCKETSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!, Anyone every seen a 540 with an s/c its gruesome what it could do to other cars along with the ///M5

 

Well, the Dinan set up is $12995 just parts (ouch)410HP at the crank, there is an ESS setup for $5995+800 install that would bring a 540i up to 420HP at the crank. I'm opting for this setup for obvious reasons.

 

Lots of bling bling, but you'll be VERY quick.

Sweet ride!

 

your car looks good.... and i want it

 

OMG, $13K for Dinan SC?? It's insane

 

Know what I mean?

I still think that you'd be better off in a M3.

 

jk

Very nice sleeper.

 

Well then I better add some more and get a brand new ///M5

 

hey ac what's up i think i've seen you on the tl board. Nice car i love the 540's. Two questions how much do you think we could beat the tl-s by with the 2k2 six speed?, have you raced any of those acura's?
again niccccccccccce car!

 

i can give you my opinion here..

i can beat a TL-S without Nitrous
my cousin's GS 400 can beat me without Nitrous
Steve's 6spd ran door to door with the GS400 from 60 mph to 100 mph
my conclusion? the 6spd maxima will destroy a TL-S

 

How do you usually do against the GS400 when your NOS is fresh?

 

never ran him on my NOS.. i will let you know though

 

Driver of the TL-S you raced probably doesn't know how to drive at all.

 

Andy.. its an auto.. its on a highway.. how hard is it to drive?

 

good 'ole MO COUNTY BABY!!!!!!!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHA, just had to rep my hometown real quick!

 

i like the area, quiet and peaceful
unlike college park

 

just don't come around my way then, the Randolph Road/Wheaton area is far from quiet, ruins the whole peacefulness, crazy *** neighborhood! I still don't know who stole my trashcans!

 

 

Andyxxl is bigging up acura because he wants a Six-speed cl-s. TRADER ,just playin bro you can choose any car you wan't.

 

traitor? sorry bud ...

 

Well, the guy probably left it in auto instead of downshifting to 3d in SS mode. Plus VTEC engines pull hard at high RPMs.

 

 

are you trying to imply that my car is slow?

 

No, I'm trying to imply that 190 and 260 HP is a pretty big difference.

 

my car no longer has 190hp

the TL-S dyno's at 202 hp at the wheels

TL Type S weighs 3558 lbs. (3574 lbs. with Navigation system)

my car weighs 2830lbs ..

shall i go on Andy?

 

Here's my opinion. Last Sat.night, I was in my 540 with a passenger (a CL Board Moderator). We saw a silver CLS flying so we get next to it. from 60 to about 80 he hung well, after that...BUH BYE!

Considering my experience racing the two. I would have to say the 2002 MAX should win at high speed no problem. From a stop it should be a fun race to watch but beyond 80mph, the TLS will be seeing the MAX's round tail lights.

Hope this helps answer your question.
