How fast do you think it is?

Hello all!

I have attended a couple Maxima meets and have several friends who own one. I myself wouldn't mind one for a personal vehicle.

Last weekend, or maybe the weekend before, I stopped by the Northeastern Maxima Meet in CT on my way back from driving this car @ Englishtown Speedway in NJ.

How fast do you think this car does in the 1/4 mile? Bear in mind it weighs about 4,000+ lbs, and is on street tires, not to mention owned by a US Parks Police Officer.

Just seeing what the perception might be.

Re: How fast do you think it is?

I've seen two crown vics at the track and neither were even close to hitting the 15s.

But this one apparently hits 12's.

I cheated and went here:

FYI: there is a vortech SC for the Maximas as well.

Seeing the name of the website "vortech vic" I'm guessing the 12.0-13.9 range.

just from judging from the pictures, i would say 12.-13.9 because the driver is wearing a helmet.

i don't know if this is wrong, but aren't you supposed to wear a helmet when running 13's?
