When all your friends refer to your car as "The Beast"...
When you're traveling on the Parkway on your way to the beach and a Maxima just like yours comes up next to you and gives you the thumbs up...Mutual Respect is a beautiful thing..

Re: You know your not a VQ Drive
Hi guys. Sorry! My bad. I linked this thread over at AccordV6.com just to demonstrate how much everybody that owns a VQ freakin LOVES it and how there aren't any posts like this for the Honda V6's.
I didn't realize Plum was a "Honda purist" though. I thought he was a little more open-minded. Oh well ;-)
Not. All sources are now saying the 3.0 is being carried over. I bet the Accord will get a tweaked version with about 215 HP. Honda doesn't want to kill their 225 HP TL sales so 240 is unlikely, IMO.
Why no Accord for me anymore? THIS is why. In all seriousness though, I was going to trade it even before it got rear-ended/totalled. I was tired of the automatic and lack of performance, and almost getting run off the road by crazy SUV drivers and not having enough "reserve" power to get them off my azz and lay the smack down when needed.
I guess there are a lot of Honda "purists" like you, but I'm not one of them. The only brand loyalty I have is to Japan. I used to own a Honda. Now I own a Nissan. My fiance just bought a Toyota. Both of my parents drive Camry's. My sister drives a Jetta and it's a POS!
Your hopes are pinned on horsepower you're not going to see unless you save up a couple extra grand in cash, bend over, and buy an Acura for just a few extra parts in the engine, a few extra lines of code in the ECU worth about $500 wholesale probably while the remaining 99.9% of the car is the same as the Accord.
We're talking about ENGINES here. People are here and own Maxima's because they want PERFORMANCE first and everything else comes second. Having an awesome engine is the KEY to having good performance, and the Nissan VQ *IS* that engine in the V6 world.
Ward's 10 Best Engines list isn't just "some" award. It's an elite list of the finest engines in the world. Only the BEST engines make it. It says a lot about how amazing an engine really is when a Nissan VQ that anybody can buy at their corner Nissan dealer ranks right up there with the finest engines from Porsche, Mercedes, and BMW. The Accord V6's J30A1 is a nice engine, but it's not in the same league as the Nissan VQ. I always try to keep an open mind, and don't allow myself to get blinded by "purist" visions and mentalities, so I can and HAVE seen the light
Aww yeah baby! 
In the Accord I always took the short way to work. In the Maxima I always took the long way. And I have to go bring my fiance some lunch at the hospital now (she's on call :-( ) but I'm already pumped up to drive the Max again! hehehe
I still don't regret buying the Accord, though. It's a great car but just not for me. When Honda makes a "Maxima" (a 4-door sedan with a world-class V6 and a STICK shift) I could just as easily be back in a Honda again.

Some of you said that you have no valve timimg and no variable intake but lookey here, it says it has both. And all of the stuff found on this engine is also found on TL-S,CL-S engines. Not even the new Max has VSA, (Vehicle Stability Assist) to help in the prevent of a slide. The CL-S 6 speed has a helical limited slip differential (LSD) for beter turning. Car and driver said and I quote "the best front wheel drive car we have ever driven".
This is your own opinion about this. And just cause the engine won some award for 8 years doesn't mean that it's the best thing since sliced bread.
You might want to save those nickels cause you will need them for turning around on the highway after lossing to the new Accord. If you don't believe me, see at the end of July when they reveal the new Accord.
I'm sorry what makes you think your car looks any better. I think a new Altima looks ten times better than Max. Even my car looks better than the Max old or new. And those are pics taken from the European Accord according to some sites.
What is this ****, I just went to a car meet in my area and saw 3 sentra's that looked like **** on a stick. Honda is not the reason for high insurance and you should be hit by a car for saying that j/k. It's true that Honda is the number one car for ricers but don't blame Honda, blame the idiots that do that to them. Lets set one thing right, at least me and most of you hear have better taste than most of the ricers and domestic crap out there. Companies like Toyota,Honda,Nissan,Acura,Lexus, and Infiniti turn out the best cars today and none of you can deny that as a fact

You Know you're a VQ Driver when....
...if your "less powerful" 190 HP engine was theoretically swapped into the "more powerful" 200 HP competition, THEIR car would actually be faster with YOUR ENGINE!
Check out these CarTest2000 simulation results I did with an Accord V6 with the standard J30A1 engine and then swapped with the 4th Gen VQ30DE engine.
Even I was upset, having been an ex-Accord V6 owner. Honda successfully tricked me into thinking that 200 HP was more than 190 HP, but in this case it isn't.
I never make the same mistake twice, though. It's all about torque, baby.

The results are below.
0-60, 1/4 mile ET/speed, top speed
AV6 J30A1 : 7.72, 16.11 @ 87.89, 132
AV6 VQ30DE: 7.54, 15.94 @ 88.64, 134
AV6 1MZ-FE: 7.45, 15.94 @ 89.21, 136
95 Max/4AT: 7.66, 15.88 @ 88.67, 136 (just for comparison)
This is dissapointing! Even to ME!

- You're on a 3 week vacation w/o da Max & you've got serious Maxima withdrawal symptoms
- yearning to get back home from vacation to wash the Max & drive it around the city on the same night as returning from the 3 week vacation!
- while on vacation on the other side of the country, going to a local Max Meet will be the trip's highlight
- You're normally frugal wife is the one who suggests getting a Stillen skirt b/c the Max will "look more sporty"
- Your wife & you compete to see who'll get to drive the Max next time b/c it has a 5-spd gearbox & it handles so nice
- tossing around other Max enthusiasts in the rear leather seats when going around corners (even when they have their seatbelts on)
- when you think a reclining racing seat w/ racing harness should have come stock with the Max

When, even though you try as hard as you possibly can, you can't help but talk smack on all your non VQ driving friends every time you seen them. (damn near getting knocked out at times )
When the police ignore the corvette and stare at you when you drive by.
When you curse the Damned grasshoper invasion everyday cause you spend more time at the carwash blasting away little green corpses at least 3-4 times a week.
When you refuse to waste the pressious $1.40 something fuel on a four banger, but save it for your own personal pleasure on the highway later.

8)it fuel-efficient
7)built in one of the industry's most advance engine plants
6)its crankshaft is triple-forged for durability
5)it's composed of lightweight aluminum alloy for quicker acceleration
4)it's attached to the overall #1-selling 6-cyc import sedan
3)it has light weight pistons and connecting rods for excellent throttle response
2)it's compact design to make our car more aerodynamic
1) It was inspired by the legendary Z.

... You know when...
... Just to get set in your seat for a long trip, you punch it and get "set" back in you seat (for the long trip)!
... A ricer actually nods "no" when you waggle you index finger towards the road in front.
... You swear the 25 300-series bimmers in front of the dealership
grimace when you drive by.
... when you can say
"OK, everyone strapped in. Quit hitting your brother, Taylor.
When the green light goes off on that tree, Daddy's going to get down this strip as fast as possible and beat that 14.5 from the last family outing!"

You know you're a VQ driver when
You order a license plate from the DMV that says "VQ35DE"
You regularly troll a message board called Maxima.org only to see some insanely jealous Accord driver cry and whine about how good the next Accord will be. All because he drives a current slow Accordian and can't afford the fictional model he's dreaming about anyways.

When you speak to or see people you haven't heard from in a while and when they ask how you are you reply "Great. I got a new car. A Maxima 2003,. You goota see this baby, it has... ... ..."
When all you talk about to friends is how great your new car is and how much better you like it than your last car (300M in my case). At the same time you are insulted when a friend does not ask how your new car is.
When your mom asks "How come you didn't have this much interest in any of your other cars?".

when your washing something outside with the garden hose and you start watering down your car to get all the dirt off, and you get excited by seeing the water just slide right off the car. (infiniti dealer wax, good stuff)

you know your a VQ driver when....
your girl says "you love that car more than you love me"
your older cousin sells his Honda s2000 for a 350z, me the middle cousin has a 2k max, and your younger cousin sells his 96 acura legend for a sentra spec v SE r.
when your father that has a HIGHLY modded Camaro finds any excuse for you to take him somewhere and constantly tells you to go around this fool, so he can feel the vq when i drop 2 gears and mash it.

You know when your a VQ driver...
You know when your a VQ driver...
- Even though your car's rear lights are smashed up
and is not legally drivable you still take it out on the back roads at late at night just to here to sound of the VQ at redline and to drive the car thru the twisties, waiting for the day the car will be repaired by the body shop. (which is this week by the way!!!! 
)
- You spend more time on the .Org than any other website on the web.
- When your girlfriend tells you its either her or to stop driving the Maxima over the speed limit, you choose the Maxima. (What was I thinking? She liked minivans ! and never once drove over the speed limit or enjoyed driving)
