I ran a Boxster S manual, a guy in his 40s was driving it. I got the jump on him at the beginning so I was leading by half a car from 0 to 20km/h then when we got up to like 40 he was like 2 cars ahead of me but he had to shift, so I got a few feet back and then he just pulled away really hard, like 5+ cars by 90km/h. That was so cool, fastest car I ever ran/see WOTing in action. At least he didn't lose me completely

 

I'm surprised he raced you. 99% of people who own those real sports cars know they are fast and don't have to prove it. It's kinda cool I never see Vettes ever street racing. Makes me feel like "Well damn...well the maxima is a sports car too so I don't havta prove anything either !!!"

 

They like to play everynow and then though.

 

yeah I was suprised too, he was behind me turning left, as soon I turned, I saw him on the other lane and acclerating pretty hard trying to past me. I think I ****ed that guy off by not running a yellow light, he would have ran the light if I did. but I'm a save driver. Then the perfect time came, another redlight, this time side by side, he looked **** and didn't rev teh engine or anything so I didn't. Light was getting ready to turn green and I brake torqued to 2000rpm, I heard him clutch slip it @ some pretty high RPM, but that guy was slow, I was gone by the time he started really acclerating.

 

Nice. You know, that's the ONE thing I like about automagics. If I ever converted to a 5spd, I would be nervous and novice off the line. I wouldn't time it right and end up stalling. I LOVE the fact that even with a shaky foot, the auto takes car of me. Now, if only we automagics had some superior 6-speed auto tiptronic that we could turn on/off to redline, that would be sa-weet and we would tie 5spd max's.

 

Did you read my post! I am PRO-Auto !!! I love automagics for us "un-easy" racers

 

Where is it. Don showed you the light huh?

 

craig: someone lend me a 5spd maxima adn I'll show u how a real 5spd can launch!!!!! u won't have a chance

 

Don showed me the light indeed! Automagics just get NO respect from people unfamilier with VB Upgrades,and such. ::

Here we go again, huh deezo.

Costco, you'd have to be a pro to beat me, a 95 SE, off the line!

I'm just happy/fortunate to own a Maxima PERIOD.

 

BTW, my friend has a 95 SE 5spd. The fastest max you can get stock. (besides 02). So belive me, I know how freakn torquey they are when launched right !

 

do to goto costco alot?

 

The 95 is definitely fast but I think the 5th gen 5spd has more pull at highway speeds...especially 4th gear.

Wait till you drive the new 3.5L manual? Whoa now that is torque!
