What's your aprox. 0-60 with performance mods?

I'm trying to get a general idea of what people's (those with modded 5th gens) 0-60 times are compared to the stock. The stock 2k2 0-60 is about 6.5 seconds, and 6.8-7.0 for 2k. Now, to those with aftermarket performance mods, what would you say your 0-60 times are aproximately now? Also, if it's not too much trouble, post if you have an auto or manny and what performance mods are giving you the most gain. I'm looking into purchasing a few mods sometime soon, so I'm doing a little research before hand.

All responses will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

The stock 02-03 auto is about 6.5 seconds to 60mhp as you'd quoted. The 6.8-7.0 for 2k is for the stock manual model only...since the auto can only best at high 7's or low 8's.

According to my 1/8 mile time. I should be hitting 60 mph in 5.55 sec. Here's the website I got it from.

Gtech says 6.0 to 6.3 for my 0-60's. My Gtech has always been within a few hundreths in accuracy for my 1/4 times at the track.

FYI, Car and Driver tested the 02 Max 6sp and 0-60 was 6 seconds flat.

Yeah. I don't think that's correct. A Camry is 8 seconds, and I've raced a Camry before and it didn't keep up one bit. The auto should be low 7s. The manual is mid-to-high 6.

FYI: Here are some links to the 0-60 times for the 2K Maxima:

Auto:

http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/compa...1/page024.html

Manual:

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...an/index2.html

I believe Road & Track time the manual at 7.0 seconds...I have that issue at home.

That is disturbing.....My 96 Avalon was faster then my 01 Maxima, and had a higher top speed as well (144mph@6800rpm)....I'd really like to hear from some people who own 2k-2k1 what improvments on their 0-60 time they've seen with bolt on's such as y-pipes and headers. So I know whether or not I want to dump money into this car or get ready to trade it in next year for a G35 or Acura TL.

You should trade in for the new G53...they are rated at 295 hp for the coupe and 277 hp for the sedan. I would get the G35x for its all-wheel drive since you can install a supercharger/turbo to the VQ3.5 later and all-wheel drive will be able to put all the power to the pavement at launching. The only draw back would be the 5-speed auto in the G35x.

based off of my 14.8 run, one of the online 0-60 things says i did it in 6.4 which sounds reasonable to me.
