Maxima vs. Probe GT

Hi I'm new here and just learning about Maximas. I read a thread on another board that didnt sound right:

http://www.probetalk.com/forums/show...did=1700984170

Does this sound possible? No stock Maxima will run with a turbo 4 cylinder Probe with a boost controller? I wouldnt think a 6 speed would have much trouble with one.

It is obvious they dont know what they are talking about. A 2k2 would wax a probe. That guy with a built motor running like 16 psi claims a 14.7???WTF??? A 2k2 would have no problem. A 3rd gen VE or 4th gen 5 speed should run pretty close.

Way to represent with facts instead of fiction. Way to go.

I've been on that board for a while (hardly ever post there) and I've owned multiple MX6s/626s/PGTs. I posted my thoughts.

Well...

I saw a guy's MX-6 turbo do some amazing times. He's pretty much stock with an exhaust, upgraded turbo, and controller. He hasn't and had no plans to do internals. He put out a good 220 HP to the wheels on the dyno and turned up a 13.82 on the quarter mile. I have an 89 Mazda 626 NA too. It's really lagging below 2,000 RPM and I'm thinking about doing something about. If it can't be fixed for a relatively low price ($200) I'm going to look into swapping a turbo motor into it. I hope the option exists.

Upgraded turbo, exhaust, and boost controller doesn't count as "pretty much stock" in my book

a couple weeks ago i absolutely destroyed a newer probe GT with exhaust and who knows what else. all i have is an intake and exhaust and im auto and he had a 5 speed. i had him by about a car and a half before i shut down and then he buzzed past me. he tried me twice and i got him both times. probes suck!!! lol later..
