All new:
V6 Accords
GSRs
Civic SIs
Mustang/Camaro V6s
Solaras
Camary V6
Acura TL and CL(not type S)

Btw, me:
'96 Maxima SE auto
Basically stock. Have Focuz exhaust, 18" rims, springs, and clear tails. Not exactly real performance mods. So, that's why I said basically stock. And it's an auto! No VB mods yet.

 

Some of those cars U can keep your dignity alive, Some would break your pride..

 

Depends how you race. You will hang with all the fwd cars off the line. So if you're racing across a street or a short distance.. You will be able to take the Camry, the SI and the GS-R and probably the TL and a non-SCed Solara. But you have 18 inch rims.. I dono.. That may hold you back. If you're racing on the highway.. Be prepared to be walked by the GS-R and the TL. All the rest of the cars will hang with you.. You aren't gonna be blowing any doors off.

 

Close racing except the Civic SI u may get off the line but once Vtec kicks bye bye, as for the Acuras' they will walk on you, actually I would too...no disrespect!

 

A Civic SI take out the Maxima? Is it because mine's auto? If it was 5spd., I don't think it can take a Maxima out. Yeah, automatic sucks big time. I'm kind of disappointed, I thought the Maxima would do better. Oh forgot, I might be able to put a supercharger on my Maxima later on. Also, definitely need the VB upgrade. Thanks anyway.

KJ, so you are saying your Altima will walk by my Maxima? Hm...are you sure?

Sorry I seriously doubt your altima will take out a even auto maxima. I could be wrong. Even with your headers and intake. I think an auto maxima with intake and y-pipe would walk you pretty good. Sorry.. No disrespect.. =) I'm just starting trouble all over the place today.. haha..

Civic SI are pretty quick and yeah because u have an auto, now if u had a 5spd it would be more even. My Altima w/mods = advantage me. Maxima with mods = Advantage Max.

 

I would agree with you. A Max with intake and y-pipe although automatic is no slouch. The altima with 18's will be hard pressed to keep up with a maxima or even a stock civic. I used to drive a 5 speed altima and yes they felt torquey and handled better than the max, but they seemed to run out of breath on the top end.

Cumalot and Zum would u like me to beat u in 3rd or 4th??

 

I dunno. Automatic should be nearly even with everything, but I can see loosing to well-driven Civic Si's and GSR's most of the time. Almost everything else depends on the launch. Everything else would be even at best.

 

Haha.. I'll use 2nd and I'll be gone.. I'm not stock.. =P Sorry.. Pick on someone else.. I still think you wouldn't exactly blow the doors off a stock maxima even with your mods. Winning by a nose with a few hundred dollars worth of mods and a 5-speed tranny isn't exactly roadkill.. Unless you have a turbo you're not telling us about.. I don't think it would be such a lopsided race. Beat us in 3rd or 4th? Such confidence. Have you ever raced a maxima? Its no slouch..

You might be able to take the Accord, Camry/Solara autos, and Mustang(pre-'99)/Camaro V6 models, if they're autos. No chance on the Civic and 'Teg. They're manual only, which is bad news for an auto Max. And the TL would be a toughie, and no chance at all with a CL. Even the standard CL can beat a 328, which could beat you. A 'basically stock' Max just isn't good enough.

The main things that are slowing you down are the 18s and auto. Bigger diameter wheels slow you down off the line, but increase your top speed a bit, if your gearing allows for it. And the auto I'm sure you know, is just plain slower than a 5sp. I should know, I have one.

 

I have personally beaten all of those cars, off the line and on the interstates. I have even beaten a CL type-S off the line. He never caught back up, and I kept playing with him. I've also outran several 95-96 Rustang GT 5-spds with mods. But, I do have a 5-spd, and I do have some mods, so I dunno bout a pretty much stock auto max.

 

ive whooped up on alot of those cars - the accord coupe v6 is tough - he had intake and exhaust - so did i, the SI's - ive walked 3 of them ... taken out one teg with a Japanese spec engine - low compression and no turbo or SC sucked for him - also kept up with a 328 but he lost me in the corners cuz of his X brace .... if there was an X brace for the maxima it would tighten **** up alot ... O ive taken a 5th gen too but the dood stalled =( - ive also had rednecks on my *** with camaro's and **** where i live - and O look out here come the corners at 65 - where did they go ???

 

You'll spank the Civic. They'll get the holeshot due to the weight advantage, but by 2nd gear you'll be even. By third, you should be ahead by 3-5 carlengths, if not more. I've yet to see a stock Si run 15s at the track. The modded ones barely manage mid 15s

 

Auto tranny sucks! I didn't have much choice though. When I bought this car in '96, I didn't know how to drive a 5spd. As far as those cars are concern, I did raced my friend's GSR, and I got beat, but he didn't exactly blow my doors' off. What if I got a VB mod, would that help? KJ, seriously, have you raced a Maxima? I never raced an Altima, 5spd. or otherwise, however, I would like to see how I would do against either. I have seen Altimas around, but they don't seem to want to race me. If I lose to an Altima or anyother cars, kudos to the drivers. You can't win them all. With my car being an automatic, it's the only real reason why I want to get rid of this car, and get a 5spd. I probably won't be getting another Maxima though. Prelude maybe.

Get a 5spd 5th Gen Maxima, with CAI and Y-pipe and I Bet U'll walk all those cars on that list.. Oh if some of U guys disagree I'm ready for counter attack.. now I'm not talkin Super Moded Models now. Just stock to minor upgrades. NO Turbos and SC... well I take that back... I think the Stock 5spd 5th Gen can handle The cars on that list.. The accord,Camry,GSX,GST,V6Mustand,V6 Camero,Salora,SI,NEON R/T,GALANT S,Pralude, Pritty much All SUVz except Cyclone/Typhoon, All Pickups Except Ford Lightning, Dodge R/T 5.9, corolla, sentra,626,MX-6,Probe (not sure about the GT), Focus (hahahaha) All these cars the 5spd 5th Gen shouldn't have a problem with. Some may not be a walk in the park for the maxima but the Maxima should outrun them.

 

2000 civic si runs 15.2 in the 1/4 mile and they only come in 5 spd. if you have an auto max your gonna get spanked no matter how you look at it.

 

i've never really raced one, but a friend of mine has one and i drove it once. it felt really heavy... just curious that they are fast enough to take out a 5spd max.

tried several stock si, and had no problem walking them. i thought the si was like super fast, but it seems like not really unless they have supercharged it.

 

i don't think a v6 accord can hang a 2k max unless the accords a 5sp and the max is an auto

 

i raced a 93 or 94 mustang on the parkway and and drag raced the same guy at a stop light i had a car length on him by the end of 4th gear, at the stop light it was close raced 3 1/2 blocks got him by half a car he was pretty cool told me he slowed down on the parkway because of bad front struts

 

I don't know, I smoked a Mustang GT 5.0L out the of the toll booths and the on ramp with my 95 Maxima SE. Of course
I have a 5 speed too. That might make some difference.
The Maxima should be able to smoke all those cars except for the SC cars! Just my opinion.
My wife had a Integra GSR before getting the Maxima, the Nissan would have been all over it.

did you get that in the back of a magazine? LOL

 

considering the Accord V6 is only available in auto.. no worries there! They only run high 15s (bolt on mods )to mid 16s (stock) at the track. a stock atuo 2k Maxima runs 16.2 to 16.5 at the racetrack (don't believe those magazine figures all the time)

 

i went to the pomona legal races last weekend..and i saw a couple of si's running..i remember one was all stripped..it basicly only had one seat and a steering wheel..and it ran the 15's..hondas(vtecs) the freeway are hella fast..i raced a 99 accord v6(200bhp)..and off the line and i was ahead(even though my g/f wont admit it)..on the freeway..the accord passed me by after 120mph..the only modds on the accord are lowering and struts i think..my max was all stock at the time..and i have a freaked up front right strut.so im bouncy after 110mph...

 

bahhahah.. fully stripped and it only ran 15s!

 

it's a 1.6L 4cyl, what the hell do you expect??

 

The Celica GT-S does run low 15s..though.

One can make the power to weight argument...that the 160hp should be suffcient to propel that car faster. You can also ask how a 160hp VG Maxima fairs...hmmm? Does a 160hp Max run 15s? *maybe*
No one says anything about those 4-cylinders that will detroy just about any Maxima

 

hey, just curious, do you think I could take a 1990 Jeep Laradeo V6. I have a 1992 maxima GXE auto with intake...since we're on teh topic of racing

 

for some odd reason, whenever I am buzzin down the highway, I seem to attract any and all Grand Am's and and Grand Prix drivers. Some of them have stock dual exhausts. Do those people stand a chance? Should I just continue to ignore them? What sort of engines do they put into those cars?????

 

I RACED A 2K CELICA GT-S ON THE PARKWAY I KEPT LEAVING HIM ,I HAD A FRIEND IN THE CAR TOO I WOULD LET THE CELICA GET REAL CLOSE AND THEN JUST PUNCH IT WASN'T MUCH OF A CHALLANGE AT ALL

 

YOUR MAX SHOULD TAKES THOSE CARS BUT LOOK FOR GPT BADGE ON THE GRAND PRIX'S THERE SUPERCHARGED YOU HAVE NO CHANCE WITH AN AUTO UNLESS YOU CHASE'EM UP TO 110MPH
[WERE THIER GOVERNED]AND SPANK'EM

 

Does the sun rise in the East and set in the West??

 

My friend has a GSR, and I raced him off a light once. I knew I would probably get beat, but had to try just once. He even waited till I launched because he wasn't sure if I was going to race him. He walked me through first and had a carlength by 80 when he shut it down.

Then, this is the part that I'm ashamed of...I...I did a ricer fly-by...I know...shame...

 

Hmm I raced my friend's GS-R from a stop when I only had intake.. And I was a half a car ahead of him till 60 when we shut down. I guess it had more to do with a launch than anything.. My friend can shift very well too. So it wasn't that he couldn't drive. I believe that you can hold off a GS-R with an auto.. Just not at very high highway speeds.

ZuM

 

Like they all say, it comes down to the driver. I can believe taking Integra GS and LS but GSR you kinda have to work on them. The launch helps a lot, more then people thing. Like someone said before, watch out for those Pontiac Gram Prix GTPs, they can haul some ***. Anyone with a stick Maxima race one?

 

After I raced my friend that day I forever wondered how much of a difference an intake would make. Never tried it because I didn't want to risk losing again AFTER shelling out $200 for a TPR CAI. And come to think of it, I remember spinning the tires and going nowhere for the first second or two on the launch. Stupid worn RE92s.

My friend was a pretty good driver too. He got consistent 8-second 0-60s in his previous car, a 92 civic si. And that was with me in the car. I say consistent because we did this so many times. In the school parking lot. Yep...just had to make sure you shut it down by the library..

Oh, and another side note: don't try racing an E430 either. My friend's parents had this in the old body style. I tried all the tricks; slight 1200rpm brake torque, started a car length back, and launched a few ticks before the light turned green. He started walking by second gear..oh well.

 

I think the wheel spin is what killed you. I brake torqued to about 1200 but I didn't floor the throttle immediately.. I used about half throttle first then floored it.. I jumped to my one nose lead and just held it. He got a really good launch too.. But still wasn't enough.. But the point is you should be able to hang with a GS-R at street speeds.
As for the E-Classes.. My parents have a E420 Sport.. That thing is no joke. GTECHed it and it 1/4ed in the high 14s..

Did anyone else notice this dude's screen name, or do I just have a sick mind?
