Sounds to me like it's the fault of Nissan for not providing better suspension system.

I still race my Maxima but on a track of course.

Title should read, "Please dont street race ..."

How about not street racing in general, regardless of what car you are driving. That is just a shame.

What does the rear beam suspension have to do with the accident? I don't get it, my 02 Max SE never forced me into a curb and a tree?! What am I missing? Thanks.

Are you ****in' joking? You're blaming Nissan because some irresponsible ******* got his fiance' killed because of a stupid decision? This is why our country is going down the toilet because no one wants to take responsibility for their own actions.

Fire fighters (God Bless them) choose to do what they do, and its just as sad (in my book) when an unfortunate accident happens. I know for myself, I could careless what car they were in, the fact that the woman was pregnant who died, is why I responded.

No doubt, a 6th gen would have been doing over 100 mph at that point in the contest.

Tragic, could have happened in any car though, street racing in general is a Maxima.Org NO, NO, has absolutely nothing to do with the Maxima. Moron's racing just happened to be driving them...

Very, very sad. What the hell was he thinking racing, especially with your 8 months pregnant fiance in the car. 2 innocent lives lost. It does sound like org members.

pretty insensitive remark, savagecat. I'm hoping your comment was just a poor attempt at humor!

Given the trends of our court system all I did was fast forward a few months.
