I dunno. Mid-14's sounds pretty good to me for a "grocery getter"! :vampire:

Yes, good point, but when people spend 3-4 thousand to supercharge a car it's not a "grocery getter" anymore. They're out for speed, and road-kills. It just seems like a waste, but to each is own. I like the show aspect and potential of the car. If you want speed, look at a GS or a 540.

even at 14.5 (lets say about 14.2 on a auto) it's even with a GTP, I can't think of any mid-sized sedans that run thaqt fast south of 30K

Yeah, I see what you're saying. But would an auto really run a faster time than a stick shift???

you gave the 14.5 number so you must be talking about an auto maxima because any decent SC 5spd maxima will be in the 13s somewhere I hope. I just dropped it a little to 14.2 which is what most GTPs run at my local track.

did you know that a SC Auto runs the same as a GS and a 540 but initial cost is less? why would you sell your auto maxima to buy a GS or 540 for more when you can just buy an SC?

oh and Sleeper runs 13.3 on stock boost with his Supercharged 5spd

I will be bad and generalize that there is a .7 - 1.2 difference. No flames, this is hard to say.

A 5pd 5th gen with Intake and Y-Pipe would run with a 540 or GS. This at almost half the cost. With an SC on this same car you would beat a GS and auto 540 easily. Be a good race against a rare 540 6pd but I think the SC 5pd Max would take it once you hit 3rd. Even a Maxed out Max would only be a fraction of the cost of those two cars in question.

There is a guy on the .org who runs with a Supra Twin Turbo on the highway...Yam what else do you need to know? And I think he is a 4th gen SC...not sure though....

Alright dawg, i guess we wont be seein you around for a while. HEH..

A civic eh? I think im close too.. doh! ..

Oh, as for the Maxima being slow.. 540's / GS are about in the same general times as a SC Auto4thGen.. i think its a hair faster than a GS400(auto), but those 540's (manuals) got some mad tq.. (my cousins ride) .. should be tighter between a SC4thGen vs 540..

You know, for the price of either of those cars, you can almost get 2 of mine? The max is probably cheaper to insure too, and then u gotta think about luxury tax.. its just more affordable..

how very accurate.. it was ashame to see his maxima, the bodykit was about to fall off and he talked about it like it was some prostitute he had his way with and had little respect for now. I think he lost interest because don can't match him; he was very proud of that.
