Last week on Deer Park Ave out on L.I.... I just came off the highway when a silver 5th gen made a U turn and followed me up the ave. He pulled up right next to me at the first red light... nuthin but clear road ahead. He revved his engine so I knew he wanted to race and I'm not the type to back down. It was a 2000 or 2001 with an intake and exhaust. I completely spanked him off the line and continued embarrassing him in the long run. This went on for three more times before he just gave up. Wasn't he suppossed to be faster? He had one person in the car, but I have some heavy subs in my trunk. All I have is the intake really. Anyway... I wasted him.

 

Are you an auto or stick?

 

Auto

 

In a 4th gen auto with just an SI and a heavy *** stereo you whooped a 5th gen? Hmmmm.....Somethin aint stirrn' the Kool Ade.....

 

<B> ok, i like maximas and all, but, is that a photoshopped grill onto that 4G?

I believe anything is possible. You may have very well beaten a 5G. More power to you. Your particular maxima looks pretty nasty, but, hey, you're obviously about performance over fashion (especially with that automatic)...

Why come to this particular board to start a fight? Cause i see no real question in your post... </B>

 

dude i've been through a few maximas and I think the 4th gen GLE just can't take a stick. I've had a 4th Gen GLE and 2 4th GEN SEz 1 stick 1 auto and there is no way the GLE would take a stick 5th gen. now Auto to Auto might be another story but if U did, then U didn't kill the guy, U beat him but didn't kill him, cars are too closely matched to kill anyone really.

 

I am confused, a 4th gen woopin a 5th gen?????

Mark

 

Personally speaking, I have the utmost respect for the 5th gens. (right, madmax2k?) They're much stronger up top than the 4th gen. but if someone doesn't know how to drive, anything's possible.

Kev,
Outta all ppl, you should've never asked that question
"GLE"!!!

 

First off... that isn't photoshopped. Second, I didn't come to start a fight. I was just lookin' for some feedback since I always thought all 5th gens were better. But I guess not all of them are. And finally, my max is f***in' beautiful... your max is the one that looks like a Sebring in the front and a Taurus in the rear.

 

Uhhh! and that statement is what?

Listen... an auto 4G is better geared than a 5G. Your auto will let you take your max to redline before shifting, the 5G don't, most of the power in the 5G max comes at top of the powerband. So the extra HP in the 5G is there but could use the help of the transmition rations and being able to take it to redline before shifting.

 

The 4th gen autos seem to be faster. The 5th gen sticks are faster than 4th gen. What do you run in the 1/4?

Also, how can you be so sure he had intake and exhaust? I can believe you would notice the exhaust. Most 5th gen leave that alone though. Some 4th people install the 5th gen muffler.

No comment on that grill.

 

because he pulled over and showed me

 

Fair enough. Which intake did he have?

Run your car in the 1/4 or do you only street race?

 

With all this bad weather we've been having in the NorthEast lately...are you sure that he wasn't stuck there spinning on a patch of ice while you just took off?
I think that would be the only way he could of lost...unless maybe he took off in 3rd gear instead of 1st.
But I'm sure you guys discussed all this when he pulled over and popped his hood for you.

 

I'ld be the first to admit my car just sits there and spins the tires when I try to take off quick b/c I have no grip b/c of the cold weather. Not starting anything but the 5th Gen is faster then the 4th 1/4mile.

 

anyone smell any steer feces in this thread?

 

you know what your probably right.. if u were behind the wheel of the car it'd be a whole diff story right?? i mean just accept it the car got beat he's not starting **** and just let it go.. excuses are for the ones who can't deal with defeat..

 

<b> To prevent a cavemanesque "my cave ***** looks better than your cave *****"...
If you think your max is f***in' beautiful, more power to you. I'm questioning how my max looks like a Sebring in the front and a taurus in the rear? Is it my specific maxima or 5g maximas in general? I'm confused, please clarify. Well, congrats, you beat a 5g with your automatic. I'm honored to be posting in the same forum with such greatness.

Inspirational feedback:
4G = lighter, less HP, better auto gearing and shift points
5G = heavier, more HP, worse auto gearing and shift points

Stick shift vs. stick shift, stock vs. stock, 5G will beat a 4G. Auto Vs. Auto, stock vs. stock, in theory, the 5g should still win, but, the 4G has a nicer auto tranny that allows redline shift points.

I like my brother's 96 GXE Auto. His maxima was the reason why i bought mine...also the reason why i bought a 5spd (and plus, driving a CRX with a stick is insanely fun!) </B>

 

your max is the one that looks like a Sebring in the front and a Taurus in the rear. [/I][/QUOTE]

Heh thanks! Sebrings look good and the new Taurus has been described as "jaguar" like in shape and design

 

Hey Terry! Havent seen you on here in a while!

Nice ET/mph...I think you are one of the fastest/quickest Max's out there.....seeing as how you even had Mad Max beat there for awhile! Youve got almost every 5g out there beat. In fact, I havent seen a single other NA 5g post a quicker ET than yours. (Except me...hehehhehehehe) So much for the "lowly" 4th gen theory...LOL

Next time, never post anything with "HA HA" in the title or say "spanked" and "countinued to embarrass him" in your post...Some people sorta take it the wrong way, and it'll end up...well with reply's like these

 

i like the fact that he is trying to make his maxima look like a lincoln mark VIII i mean if u like it so much why not just get one? im just embareced to say that thats a maxima... anyways we all maxima owners/enthusiasts here so we shouldnt be degrading anyother maxima owners out there... we should be encouraging eachother... what kind of response did u think you would get posting a thread called Roadkill (it was a 5th gen... Ha Ha!) in the 5th gen board?!?! i mean that is called asking for it... well thats that...

 

anyways we all maxima owners/enthusiasts here so we shouldnt be degrading anyother maxima owners out there... we should be encouraging eachother...

Give me a P! P you got your P you got your P...Give me an S! S you got your S you got your S! Give me an I! I you got your I you got your I! Give me an N! N you got your N you got your N! Give me a G! G you got your G you got your G! Give me a 23! You got your 23 you got your 23! Now HUSH! you don't want none of us! BOOYAH BOOYAH! BOOYAH BOOYAH!

 

We had this debate before MAXUS of 99 way way back. Let me tell you I had to prove people wrong. I ran a HEAVY modded 95 Maxima SE auto, that had YPIPE, EXHAUST, Pulleys, JWT intake, sticky tires at that, a few other things I can't think about. 95-96 were the fastest years in the 4th gen.

My 5th gen had a CAI and ypipe that was all. I had a feeling I would loose. We have people taking pictures and witness that saw this race. The race had money on it as well at MAXUS. Let's just say that my 5th gen smoked the 4th gen by 1 1/2 cars by my top of 2nd gear in my auto. We both took off, we both had wheel spin, but the 5th gen pulled harder off the line, and got going much faster.

Sorry but a 5th gen auto vs a 4th gen auto stock for stock the 5th gen will win.

 

ruuss u forgot just havingg u in the car guarenties a race to be won

 

Heh thanks! Sebrings look good and the new Taurus has been described as "jaguar" like in shape and design [/I][/QUOTE]

I second that Taurus one, but I don't know about the sebrings...

 

If he gave up and you "ROADKILLED" him why would you let him catch up with you and talk about it. Yeah sounds like a very likely story. Congrats you must be the best GLE auto driver there is. Two thumbs up man! Might wanna check your nose on that one I think its about two car lengths long.

 

Yikes!! What's up with that grill on his GLE?

I don't think it's that uncommon for a 4th gen auto to beat out a 5th gen auto. While the gearing is the same, the powerbands and torque curves are a bit different plus the 5th gen has got 100lbs more to lug around and the other Max did have a passenger. That 5th gen could have weighed more than 400lbs over the 4th gen assuming a extra passenger and a full tank.

I have yet to see any hard proof that a modded 5 speed 5th gen Max is gonna be any quicker than a modded 5 speed 4th gen Max. Stock for stock, the 5th gen is just a tad quicker, but when modded it's a toss up. BS you say? Well look at MadMax's 14.38@96mph vs JeffKs 14.36@96mph. Both car's have nearly the same mods and they pulled the same 2.1X 60 foots. To Jeff's credit his best run was in mid July with upper 80 degree weather where as MadMax's was in 40 degree weather. I'd have to say either generation is about equal. You guys talk as if the 5th gen is world's above the 4th gen in acceleration, but it's not. If it was so much quicker, then people would be posting mucg quicker ets and trap speeds out of the their 5th gens than 4th gens. The 5th gen will be ever so slightly quicker in a long topend race because it has a few hundred more rpms to work with.

BTW, I love 5th gen Max's. I just hate reading some of the blind ignorance on these forums.

OK, let me clear something up right now!!
I was up there that night when he raced that SLOW 5TH GEN...... The guy thought he was all hard and $hit with his little muffler and intake. When they were racing they flew by the parking lot i was in and PJ (4th GEN) was ahead of him by atleast 1/2 a car length. Trust me, they were moving, doin atleast 70mph. I even started with that guy later in the night and he had nothing. I schooled him off the line to about 50, then i stopped cause of cops that were cruising around up there. I have nothing against 5th gens at all. Im actually looking into maybe buying a 2001 Max. All im saying is that 5th gens are not unbeatable and that THEY DO LOOSE SOMETIMES!!! I mean i beat PJ and im driving a 96 he has a 97 both auto's, lol.
As for his car looking like a Mark 8, i think not. His car is one of the cleanest out there, besides my max! So dont go knocking something that you have never seen before in person. Im goin back to the 4th gen's where atleast those guys admit defeat and dont cry about it... peace!

 

I have yet to see proof of a 4th gen 5spd hitting 14.7 in the 1/4 STOCK. A 5th gen 5spd can and has several.

 

Ummm...who hit a 14.7 in a BONE-stock 5th gen? And what was their 60 foot? Russ, you act as if it's a common occurance. It's not, believe me.

BTW, if I remember correctly, I think Jeff hit a 14.8 with just an intake in his 95.


Dave

 

It is a common occurence! Obviously you haven't been watching this board. At least 5 people who ran there 5th gens stock have hit high 14s. 14.7 was the best, but mostly 14.8-14.9 was what they are getting.

Sprung
MadMax (14.7) stock

uggg now I can't remember there handles.....but there on here.

 

Hello genius... if he was stuck spinning on a patch of ice... I would have been spinning on ice too.

 

Don't you 5th Gens. have traction control?

 

well most of us turn it off if we racing cause it doesnt let the car go...

 

and a lot of us do not have traction control either...

 

Some have it, some don't. Mine didn't and I had leather, etc..

 

Your right Hogan. I acted like a kid in this forum. I apologize to all you 5th Gen owners out there. I ain't gonna post stuff on this forum no more.

Peace

 

comon now man, WTF is the problem here, we are going at each others throat here, so what if the guy beat a 5th gen, I had a BMW kill me on the road but I'm not crying about it, whats the big deal man. Looks like we get all worked up over some things, maybe his heading was wrong, but how meny times U guys have seen me joke around, I drive a maxima and I consider U guys to be on my side and not against me, what is the problem with jokeing around, U don't expect me to go to a honda board and joke around with them.

I don't know what the problem is really, We all drive maximas. I've never taken my car to the track, but if I run with another 5th gen and get my *** kicked then what I come here and bullsh!t that it didn't happin or I was day dreaming or whatnot, Just admit the 5th gen got burned or lost end the story, Track times and ice/snow/rain/bumps/dips in the road are 2 conditions that will throw the track times off a Porsche 911 so whats a maxima. My advice is just chill and respect other members, we don't need new people to think we are our own enemy, just relax guys.
