well, pretty basic question. naturally an auto is slower, my question is if it is a whole lot slower??? if i raced one, i have a 95 would i get killed? thanks.

 

Are you talking about maximas or cars in general? I heard the maxima 0-60 for a manual (4th gen) is 6.6 or so and an automatic is 8.0 or so

 

yeah but tell me in english, would i get killed or would it be close?

 

you wouldn't get killed, but unless the guy couldn't drive a stick, there is no way you would win.

 

to about 80 its almost dead even then after that the stick will pull ahead

 

I've beaten a bunch of "faster" manual transmission cars.

My max is the only one I know of that chrips the wheels on the 1-2 shift.

Maybe the next generation will get the automanual???

 

I can also get my tires to chirp sometimes also

 

I have a 96se auto with a JWT intake and just ran my friends 99se-L 5sp all stock. Off the line I had him good at about 70mph he passed me like I hit the brakes, later he said he was spinning badly in 1st and 2nd (the roads were sandy from past snow) there is no comparison at all If he didnt spin he would have embarassed me from the start.

 

My tires on my '95max se will chirp 1-2, and... 8.0sec is a little high.. I have read lots of different numbers, and would guess mid to low 7's, maybe a 7.3,7.4 ? Remeber, its the same as a I30, and alittle lighter, so it would be faster than that.. correct?

It wouldn't be a killing, but yes you definately would lose unless the 5spd one can't drive very well.

 

I heard it was 7.6 for an auto. But if you supercharge it, then you'll be in the 5's.

 

Mine does it too.. Shift at redline in 1st.. by the time the tranny completes the shift its a bit in redline.. Gets a nice chirp.. =)

 

My opionion is getting a torque converter, help shift and chirp the tires. Save the tranny with a tranny cooler which i am looking for! & best of all, Installing a NOS set up baby! I got a SWEET deal on my NOS!!!!

 

Mine chirps also. I raced a five speed stock from a 25mph rolling start and I was pretty even w/ him but then after 80mph, he walked me like a bi***, unless you have a y-pipe, b-pipe, perf. muffler and an intake, don't think about going against a STOCK 5spd from a dead stop.
