Horrible 1/4 times

Seems to be a curse with the 4th gen max, or so it would seem on this site. Some of the times/mph I'm seeing are pathetic. I've driven the **** out of every car I've owned. My auto max will roll with a sub 15 sec car. No 5spd should see times in the 15's.

no, not really, basically just the average level of driver that attempts to race or compete with a max sucks.

I'm just sayin that no matter what you've got, drive it hard. If you aren't beating the rated performance specs for your car, then you aren't driving hard enough. I guess I'm speaking more so for the 5 speed maximas.

what are you talking about? why do people have to drive their cars so hard?? you can do what you want, but don't tell people they're doing something wrong if they're not driving as you would like them to. we take drivers ed for a reason, ya know.

I think everyone on this board drives slow and steady dude.

What times have you been getting with your car?

Some people just don't have the experience, or skill, or desire, to get the most out of their car. Doesn't mean they are bad people or should be ripped for it. There's always someone faster, smarter, better, richer, etc etc etc.
