Just ran my bro-in-law in a 90 camaro Z - no contest......
just wondering how many v-8's would a max wax


A max would wax as many v-8's as a max could wax...........

Well let's see.....
 

If the Max is a stock 5 speed:

Any V8 truck (except a Lightening)
Crown Vic/Grand Marcique
Infiniti Q45
Earlier Lexus LS400s
4.6 Mustang GTs (96-98)
Some 5.0 Mustangs (all automatics)
TBI 305 and TPI 305 Z28/RS Camaros and Formula/Firebirds
Some TPI 350 Trans Am
Most Cadillacs V8 Northstars
Olds Aurora

What am I missing?

leave an m5 alone...

i beat all kinds of v8s all the time...or should i say.. i beat the DRIVER...yeah i beat the driver:)

What Are You Smoking....
 

I had a stock 85 Monte Carlo SS that would run Mid 14s at 92 and 93 mph. You say any truck except the Lightning, what about the Syclone and the Typhoon, they were turbo charged and would out run any car at the time except the Corvette with the 32 valver. Our cars are fast but get realistic. You did say stock not modified! I don't mean to be a doubter but I just came out of a 99 WS6 Trans Am and it would smoke just about anything.

When I had my 95gxe 5spd I went up against what looked like an 87 Lincoln Mark VII and he gave me a run for my money. It was much closer than I wanted, but I started on second gear. Maybe if I had started on first, then it wouldn't have been as close.

max wouldnt beat a firebird formula theyre rated 275 horse 325 torque.

Honestly...who cares?
 

:)

Ferrari F355
Ferrari F40
Lexus GS400
Mustang Cobra
Ram air Firebirds
Z06 Corvettes
Sledgehammer Corvettes

You get the idea...

=)

on top of that:
BMW 540/M5/850
MB C43/E430/CLK430/S500/SL600/E55/CLK55
Jaguar XJR
DB7 vantage
and more...

if he limits it to V8 with the price of the Maxima, then it's only muscle cars like TA/Camaro/Mustang.

Dam, Woody. Might as well add the F50, McLaren F1, Dodge Viper GTS-R, and all the other supercars too. You guys all know that stock auto Max's can take those out. Nissan Maxima, best car ever.. LOL

hmm you mean a McLaren F1 like this? :)

Last time I checked it's a V12 not V8 :)
Also, F50 is powered by 65 degree V12, Viper is V10 :)

Yeah, something like that. And I was just adding more cars that the Max could beat. Not by displacement or cylinder numbers. That McLaren doesn't look exactly stock though... ;)

You can also remove the Syclone and Typhoon, those are both Turbocharged V6s

It'd be close but...
 

You might stand a chance against the last 5.Slow Rustangs. Motor Trend tested their long-term 95 Max SE against a 95 Stang GT, and the Max barely came out on top(6.6 0-60 vs 6.7).

I was thinking also about most of the current Lincolns. The new LS with the V8 might stand a chance. Oh yeah, and a DB7 Vantage is a V12 too. The Caddys might give you a run for your money, though. I think all their 0-60s are under 7 second now. The new Deville is a lot quicker than it looks(optional 300hp!), but throw some curves in front of it, and you've got an easy kill.
