Ran my car in the 1/4.. quote:

Well since everyone here was complaining about going to the track about the temp., I decided to go last night. Since this was for a basic idea of what the car will run i left everything in stock condition, didnt remove spare, left all tires at 32 psi. I had a lot of trouble from shifting from 2nd to 5th instead of 3rd, but that only happened a couple times. Il post my 4 best slips. Reminding you I did not change my tire pressure so I had crappy 60' times.

60' - 2.464 - 2.572 - 2.431 - 2.022
1/8 - 9.939 - 9.981 - 9.848 - 9.592
MPH - 73.83 - 74.71 - 74.16 - 73.75
1/4 - 15.207 - 15.195 - 15.086 - 14.851
MPH - 92.66 - 94.81 - 93.05 - 92.94

On all of my runs i would stage and rev up for the launch and my car would roll and unstage, then i would hesitate and start to reverse and the light would go green...lol so i just revved and dumped it. Thats mainly why most of my 60' suck. although on the 4th run i didnt roll and was ready and got an insane launch. My friend watching said it looked insanely faster on that one. anyways the slip is quite puzzling to me. anyways the last run of the night I got a 2.382 60' and got off the line good and then i hit 5th instead of 3rd. ended up running a a 15.554. if i would have hit 3rd and done good im sure that would have been another 14 sec run. anyways im talking to much so... later and enjoy!

Oh yeah temp was about 80 degrees and it was really humid. i feel according to this that the 02,03 and 04 run the same with better weather and much much better launches the 6spd will run mid 14s and an auto 5spd can run high 14s

this is for a 04 maxima 6spd by the way guys.. his first time at the track

 

well i guess the 04 max 6-speed is capable of hitting high 14s and autos probably low 15s

 

That's a freakin awesome 60' on the last run. With a better driver that should equal mid 14's.

 

That 2.0 60 ft. is great. And it's nice to know that the 3.5 A33 is still King.

 

Hmm i suposedly pulled off a 2.0 while running on 32 psi all around and u say a better driver is needed?

 

he probably just looked at the times.

Next time you go, adjust your pressure and strip some weight off! Then post again, I want to see you break into the 14s.

 

14 whats? Does 14.85 not count as a 14 or do we round up to the nearest second?

 

oops, i saw this late last nite and didn't re-look at the times. I thought his best time was 15.0xx

my fault

 

the 6spd is capable of mid 14s. i think in my opinion, and the auto sl or se 5spd auto or 4spd auto, will do high 14s low 15s

 

Uhhh- where are the time slips?? Or do we believe everything people post here- forever a skeptic

 

i dont think at all im steaching the truth for mid 14s for stick and high 14s low 15s for an auto... if i said low 14s and mid 14s for auto than yeah shoot me but give me a break.. i think everybody has to get over this 6 generation thing.. i know nobody likes change but its a good car and is capable of good times.. and is classy looking

 

im not trying to be a d-ck here but guys 5 gen and 6 generation are about evan.. weight difference does give the 02 and 03 an advantage.. we all know this.. but its a totaly different car

 

\

Im not tryin to be dyck either, but according to real documented data and reviews the '04 Max 6speed is a 15 sec. car-
Now if you posted some timeslips I would be like "damn good time!"

do I believe the 6th Gen is fast? yes
do I think its nice? yes
Is it nice enough to trade in my 8 month old 5th Gen thats way faster? no
Do I believe it has a fugly grill? yes
Do I believe it can be driven faster than 15's? yes
Has anyone done it with real proof on this forum? Not that I've seen!

All I'm sayin is:

If there are no pics- go sell 6th gens on a 6th gen forum!

 

It looks to me like that launch was badass, but maybe your shifting skills aren't perfectly honed yet. I didn't mean any offense, but I would just expect better than 14.85 with a 2.0 60'. That's all.

I guess with it being 80* and humid maybe that hurt a bit. Go back when it's cool and see if you can't replicate that 60' and see where your ET stands.

 

i understand 100% what u are saying, and trust me bro im not trying to sell anything.. i like both cars 02,03 and 04 maximas... but as far as i can tell an avg 02 and 03 stock auto will run high 14s low 15s.. a few run mid 14s stock... and the stick maximas ive seen yes mid to low 14s... ive only seen one 03 maxima se auto with a pop charger "air filter" at the track he was running 14.8s all the way down to a very inpressive 14.4 at 96 mph.. the temp was about 65 or so low humidity... i talked to him and he said this is for u 5 gen guys with an auto.. he was shifting it manualy at red line and he was running high 14s.. than he shifted at about 6 or so and ran the 14.4... the 02 and 03's dont have a tip tronic right?? they just have d1 d2 d3 etc right?it can be shifted manuely right??? thats a very big plus... the 04's u cant shift manualy its put in drive and glorr the mother fer lol....

 

that 2.0 60' would give him the 4th fastest 60' time in this forum. without slicks, proper inflation of tires, or other mods, i dont see that 60' time being correct. still pretty good times though.

 

I am surprized why the trap speed is pretty low? Does that extra weigth play a role in it? It seems like 6gen doesn't pull as hard compared to 2002 Maxima. The 1/4 times I have seen for 2002 Maxima 6-speed were about 97+.

 

Question is: Is the +200lbs/+10hp/+9lb-ft of the 2K4 Max < = > the -200lbs/-10hp/-9lb-ft of the 2K2/3 Max?!?!

From SpecV's numbers, looks like the 2K2/3 still has a slight edge. However, time will tell.

Peace.
