hey guys im from the specv board.... www.thevboard.com neway i have a question for u guys i know the 2k2 maximas are sweet *** cars that are fast as hell...neway i have 2k2 specv 6 speed with a aem cai and springs...my best 1/4 is 14.9 @ 91....i have a friend with a 2k2 auto maxi stock and we wanna race...do i have a chance?
thx chris
just wondering what the stock maximas run

 

The worst time I have heard of with a stock 2K2 auto is a 15 flat. And that was b/c this moron just spun all the way through the 60' and obviously didn't know how to drive. The 2K2 stock auto can get about mid 14's. So, you have your work cut out for you. Just hope he doesn't know how to drive. Good Luck!

 

Order that turbo kit i've been reading about on your board and you'll be set Rumor has it a supercharger is out for the spec as well? got any links to info on that?

oh and back to the topic at hand...comes down to driver but i'd put the money on the max.

 

Going to be a close race. The Max might edge you out though.

 

Last time I was at the track I saw an 2k2 auto Max with a homemade CAI only run a 14.5

 

The maxima has probably got you unless he flubbs the launch. He should be trapping around 93-94 and if he can get out of the hole could run as good as 14.6. More likely 14.8-14.9 though.

 

I'm not sure where you get your numbers from. I have a stock 2K2 auto and the 1st time I went drag racing (got a dozen runs in), my best was 15.314. I'll admin, I spun my tires pretty badly my first day at the track but got it under control for the next visits. The next time I went, my best was 15.158 and the last time I went, my best was 15.009. I did not brake torque on any runs.

So, that makes me a moron that can't drive?

The best I've ever seen anyone w/a stock 2K2 auto get is 14.66. Almost everyone else that's stock is running in the high 14s. Everyone else that's getting better times that that is modded. Even some modded 2K2 autos are getting times as high as 14.8.

There are lots of variables besides the driver such as humidity, temps, track condition, tires, etc. It was quite hot out when I did most of my runs (90 degrees in some cases).

Back to Laloosh's questions, it'll be real close. Reaction time might end up being the deciding factor.

 

you are right about the conditions etc. and I am the one with the 14.66. The 2k2 auto is a 14.4-14.5 sec car stock in perfect conditions. Its all about the 60' times if it sucks your times suck. the 2k2-2k3 maxs should have 2.16-2.19 60's if you can profect your launch. I myself have yeilded a few 2.13-2.14's with just an intake and UDP on my potenzas. Matt

 

I own a SpecV, it is stock but so far my best time is 15 flat.
my brother has a 2k2 Maxima 6spd with intake.

Trust me, having driven both cars, the 2k2 Maxima -- even being an auto, is going to rip you a new one. Bring the lube

 

lol hey plano i know u from the vboard...ure the one that convinced me to buy the pulley since u started 50 million threads on it.....lol ok cai pulley...i have a shot against a stock auto...plus i dont think this kid knows how to drive

 

I think this will be purely a driver's race. Stock 2k2 automagics have run high-14's to low-15's at low-90 trap speeds. And your Spec-V is running a high-14 at a low-90 trap speed.

May the best driver win.

 

Huh? I rarely ever post on thevboard, and I certainly didnt make any posts about a pulley

Maybe it was someone else you're talking about.

 

oh...my bad i got u confused with placento or something like that...ah whatever

 

I get 15.3's with my 2k2 auto.... torque braking to 2000, dont see what im doing wrong. Gonna try and ease in the throttle next time.

 

I'm gonna go with the concensus here. This race will come down to the launch. If you can get off the line good, I think you'll have a chance. The good and bad part of the 2k2 auto is that while it's not as fast as the stick, it's very consistant in it's track times. It's going to be a very close race, but get a good launch and you will have a shot. Just don't put any money on the race.

I'd also like to tell you I think the Spec-V's are awesome cars. Leaps and bounds nicer looking than the other cars in it's class. Very nice car!

 

placenta???

someone link that vid of the specv/rsx/max/granprix/civic race

 

here ya go:
http://home.attbi.com/~smokinodum/maxgtpcivic.wmv

That video is of a 99 civic EX 5spd with apexi turbo in the left lane, me in the center lane, and a 00 Pontiac GTP with a few boltons that ran a 13.9 in the 1/4 on the right.
The video is from inside a stock '02 SpecV (planoSER) BUT he had 3 people in his car and started behind everyone else.
Oh yah, its starts from a first gear roll ~15mph.

 

ahh i thought it had a zex nos kit, then upgraded to a turbo

 

i've seen a lot of 2k2's going over 15.0 on this board
check out the 1/4 mile forum
its not as much bad drivers as it can be the weather conditions.
also i think most of the better auto times have come with manually shifting.
not much to mess up with an auto...just launch and keep the pedal nailed to the floor

i think you have a pretty good chance of beating the max.

 

that video just shows how much it is a drivers race.

 

I would say drivers race, but try the max on a roll

My max ran 14.73 with a 2.2 60' stock, (77 degree weather)
14.6 with a 2.19 60' with Falken Azenis Sports tires..(68 degree weather)

 

Hey, could u tell me how you launched etc....

I have a 2002 GLE, and I was running 15.2/3

 

ok
with your STOCK TURANZAS;
lower tire pressure to around 28 psi,
then brake torque to about 1500, and when the lights are green, then release the brake and floor it (all this at the same time); and manually shift 1st - 2nd at redline; time the shift right at 6000rpm cuz it lags and it should shift at 6500, and 2nd gear - 3rd shift at 6,000 again.

make sure you dont peel alot off the line, that the trouble i had tonight, i couldnt beat 15.1, ,and had horrible 60 foot times.
oh well, ,my tires sucked.

 

i would think the MT would have an advantage over auto on a roll no?

i don't understand how you get times like that, in terms of 60' times, those are amazing.

Wegaman, don't be discouraged, it might have been the track and conditions.

when i went to the track, out of 5 maximas, i don't think any of us got under 2.35 60'

it was the last day at the track, and i dont think they cleaned it, so it was slippery from all the burned rubber from the muscle cars..

 

i got on stock turanzas deflated to 28psi

.503
60' - 2.190
330' - 6.197
1/8 - 9.475@75.70
1000- 12.326
1/4 - 14.734@93.09

with falken azenis sports (the drags) i did a 2.19 60' also, but with the falken azenis ST-115's i had horrible spin and got 2.32 60's

 

I am running 14.93 @ 92.61mph with a 2.34 60'. Man, if I could only get my 60' to where you guys are.

 

I wanna run ya . Im going to try to make it to fay. this month. That is if I can get a few of you guys to run with me. Matt

 

My own 60' time amazed me when I first got my timeslip. (check sig)

 

thats a really good 60' time
however i doubt you could pull anything close to that at the track i went to...
on the street...i can launch good...and at the track with the same technique i burn out through first (yeah i have crappy goodyear rsa's) but there is still no traction at the track.

i went on the last day...so i don't think they bothered cleaning up
we were all gettign 2.4 60's the whole time.
either that or all of us can't drive for ****.
