0-60 in 6.0 sec

Top speed is uncertain, but is supposedly drag limited at 147mph.

I've heard 0-60 6.0 for the 6-speed, 6.5 for the slush-box. Top speeds range from 145 to 156 depending on who you talk with. 147 sounds about right for the SE, lower for the GLE bacuse of a rev limiter.

Question - unless you live in Montana or other ultra-rural state, where the heck can you get enough road to reach that speed, other than a race track? Certainly not in NJ!!!!!

I did a timed mile at 145, and it felt like she had a little more to go. I am automatic, and My 0-60 is 6.42 sec.

how did u get past 130? I think many other 02 autos would like to know also. Yes I am an SE and no my car would not gain after 130. No rev limiter it was basically like hitting a brick wall. Please enlighten me.

I only got to 130-135, but my girl got scared so I had to slow down. I'm not sure how much more it had to go, but it wasnt pulling very much.

I dunno how. Maybe there is something wrong with the GPS Unit I was using. It said my peak speed was 144.93 mph. I did this on the FL turnpike at 2am on the section between ft pierce and ft. drum, Its alot of long straightaways and a couple of small hills. My old 2k1 hit 135 (measured w/ the same GPS unit) and basically stopped. This one (2k3 SE) felt like it was goin faster. I also have 235/50/17 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, which are a bit taller than stock, but not much. I will just have to try again and see what I get.

The ECU in the 02-03 Maxima limits the car to 130mph but the car can do more, and sometimes the ECU does not limit the car which would explain why you can hit the limited wall at 130mph or other times get up to 147mph.

If you are going for top speed and have a 6mt, use 5th gear. I have a top speed of 139 since I got my nav/gps but came up on a car fast so I had to let off.

That's it. That's all she does. Acceleration just stops at 130. I guess the ECU just closes down the throttle enough to limit you to 130.
