He looked stock, so I'm assuming it was. I have a 97 5-spd with intake, UDP, and Cattman Y. We were on the freeway, and I pulled up next to him and paced him... then I slid it into 3rd and jumped ahead of him by about 1 and 1/2 car length and I slowed again to see if he would move. Immediately after I did, I saw him lane-hop from the left most lane three lanes to the right, and he was moving, so I kept on it and merged to the right as well as we both had to make a freeway interchange exit. I got to the end of 4th before I had to start slowing down, but all the way through my 4th he was never closing the gap on me... maybe he wasn't at WOT? Don't know. It was fun either way though.

 

maybe we wasent racing

 

You're car is faster than a STOCK WRX on the highway...believe me, I've run two of them with only my I/Y/E, NO NOS...and I pulled on both of them....remember they only have 227hp...and AWD which is horrible for top end. The only reason they run such quick quarter miles is becuase of their MAD launches.

 

interesting. i should race my friend then.

 

Yeah they start losing steam at about 80-90 MPH, but very viscious off the line.

 

Same goes with S4's as well.

 

Bri - you sure about S4's? R&T says they trap @ 98.5mph. Without S/C or NOS I'm scared. How fast would I need to go to gain a full car length?

 

well of course an S4 is gonna kick your *** but what he probably meant is that since its AWD it typically slows it down at higher speeds

 

S4= Twin turbo V6 and all wheel drive. You would have to be in the mid 13's to pull a full car length, I think they run a 14.2 1/4 stock...

 

Have to be in mid 13s to pull a full car length? Uh, no. Maybe you misspoke, but for instance, a run I had with a turbocharged GSR, he ran a 14.45 to my 14.94 and in that .5 second ET difference, he was a good 2.5-3 lenghts in front of me. Same with a Civic w/ B18C swap, he ran a 14.57 to my 14.92 and he was about 2 lenghts in front of me. Both these runs had negligable differences in RT, so that's not a factor. So from this I estimate you'd need to be about .2 seconds faster to have 1 length on the guy in the 1/4. Of course as speeds change, this all changes, like if you are talking about highway races or short 0-60 blasts. But racing an S4 0-60 would be retarded for any maxima

On another note, a good friend of mine has a WRX. We've raced numerous times at high speed on the highway. From 60 to my governor at 116, he pulls about 1.5 lenghs on me. They have a very small turbo on them, which really runs out of breath at high speeds, but spools very quickly for low speed races.

 

I drove the S4 and that is an amazing car. You would have to get alot of mods to beat an S4. I drove it on the street and on the highway, and it's faster than the Maxima. All around it's a sweet car.

 

Neal,

Get an intake y-pipe and exhuast, and you'll pull on him from 60-110

 

Agreed!

 

Stop hypothesizing and put up or shut up..
I know you're wrong on this one Phatguy, I've witnessed it, and even done it once or twice.
When I told you to find someone in my area to run me, you couldn't find anyone.
So, why don't you find someone in your area with an S4 and run them from 0-60, then run them again from 60-100 and see what happens (and make sure it's a 6 spd S4)
I'm 95% positive that you'll find the same thing that I did. You will lose.

 

he was referring to the WRX....NOT the S4
S4s are FAST ****...I need my NOS to beat those suckers

 

most of the power in the S4 is in 2nd and 3rd gear because that's when the turbo's are in full effect.. but the top speed of those cars are like.. 180 correct? the stock S4 against a 5 spd max with I/Y/E will not keep up.

 

Hey Bigshot I was talking about the WRX!

I guess you didn't read the thread topic or the flow of the thread that I "agreed" to.

Chill guy! Seems like you have been waiting for me to comment on Audi. Considering I live in Canada and have no intention of going to the USA anytime soon if you want to flex on Maxima's why don't you go to one of the many NY Maxima meets? See how your twin turbo car does against the faster ones. We already did that math from Maxus as to how your car would lose on the highway to modded NA 5spd 5th gen from 2nd gear to the top of 3rd not taking into consideration the top speed limiter of an A6. We already went through all of this so don't try finding a way of bringing this all up again. Might be nice for you to post something about Maximas rather than troll around doing searchs on the .org for Audi and just waiting to comment.

-Peace

Hmmmm look at the trap speeds and that fact you had a better 60ft! Still trying to figure out how the stock Twin Turbo A6 6spd (yours was modded even) or Auto would beat a mild modded NA 5spd 5th gen Max on a roll? Let alone the fact the A6 has a top speed limiter? Anyways....

 

PhatGuy is one guilty party..

Dude, your fat black kid signature pic is 120K!!

That is insane and pointless. Please kill the animation and compress that thing up.

A sig should have a pic first of all, and if it does it shouldn't be more than 10K max since those all add up on a long thread..

-John M

 

First off what does this have to do with the thread? Second who are you to tell me jack? Third the sig is hosted on my own server. Fourth it is 2001 get a high speed connection. You got a problem with black kids or just fat ones? PM me if you got anything else to say!



PS Your the only one that has a problem with my sig trust me!

 

Chill out man...is it that big of a deal? I like his sig

 

ah whaa de bumboclat is dis yout sayin!!. This guy has a problem for no reason

 

I don't have a problem with yr sig but I don't see the point putting that kid in yr sig is he someone special?

 

 

Yes he is someone special. I don't see the point of you having a Honda Mini Van in yours? I'm not making an issue of it though...

 

??hes yr son I take care of that van in my sig and drive it on weekends, its one of the vehicle I drive and I also use that sig on www.odyclub.com because I'm too lazy to make another one.

 

thats good, not like u guys want to see the van anyways.

 

Correct! But the text scales as well according to the horizontal width of a sig picture. In other words to see your words at 800x600 one must scroll to the right to the furthest point of your Honda Van sig.

[B]Hey Bigshot I was talking about the WRX!

And as a matter of fact, I attend many of the local Maxima meets. If you read up a bit you'd know that.
If you care to compare apples to apples, you'd find something that is interesting.
Pioneer's car weighs some 500-600 lbs less than mine. All the AWD in the world isn't going to make up for that difference in a distance as short as a 1/4 mile. You have over 4100 lbs of automobile trying to haul itself up to speed from a standstill, compared to 3100-3200 lbs of car doing the same. Obviously, the lighter weight car will have an advantage. I told you a roll-on will be a different story, you began to quote facts from a meet that you didn't even attend, in an entirely different area than you. Regardless of the fact that I made the runs just for the hell of it, regardless that it was almost 90 degrees with high humidity (that is absolutely horrible for a turbocharged car) and that the driver was merely driving for fun, not trying to bust out all time low et's. You subtracted the 60 ft times, and that determined your winner. What about my other runs at E-town, a 14.4 @ 95.99 mph with a 1.96 60 ft time. Looks like I would win that one. If you compare "best run" to "best run" the story is a little different.
This is pointless, you are a "bench racer", I'm quite sure that you've never even taken your car to a track before. To me it seems that you simply post up the numbers that you've seen other's run. What are some of Pioneers other runs? How was he driving? Did he powershift? What was his launch technique? Keep in mind that I launched at 3000rpm, but if I went all out and launched at 5500 (to take full advantage of traction) a 14.0 is pretty much guaranteed for me. How many runs did he make consistently? Has he ever made any high speed runs against a car like mine? I remember that Pioneer had N Carolina plates on his car, what part is he from? There is a A6 owner in N.Carolina with a similar car as mine, he's chipped, but able to switch back to stock mode, perhaps I can drum up a race for Pioneer. Did you ever test drive a 2.7T 6 spd like you said you would eons ago? If you did, you'd realize that the gearing clearly favors high-speed acceleration. Disabling the governor is Q.E.D. on these cars, and without it the car will easily run over 150 stock, and yes, it will get there quicker than a 5th Gen with a I/E/Y.
All this theorizing is a waste of time.
And yes, I do post lots of useful information regarding Maxima's, I was posting on the Maxima forum for years, and at one time had the quickest automatic on the east coast. I only comment when something interests me or needs clarification.

 

Hey I do have a high speed connection, but a lot of people don't, some because they can't get one..

When these thread get to be 10+ messages in length and there are 100K+ sigs everywhere that aren't cached then it takes some users several minutes to load one page!

If they know better they turn images off, but most don't..

Hey, sorry I called him a fat black kid.. What was I supposed to call him?

Later

To tell you the truth buddy I really don't care! I just like stating the facts which are in front of us and counter your statements which came out of no where on this thread. Your car is slower period! You have excellent 60ft times yet you are under 96mph trap what else is there to know? On a roll you would lose! Anyways I only read the first paragraph in your novel so bottomline is: I wasn't commenting on the S4 let alone the TWIN TURBO A6 6spd in this thread until you told me to "shut up" (assuming) and went on about your TWIN TURBO. Your car is slower than a mild modded 5th gen 5spd on the highway it is proven. Get a chip and or exhaust and then you can go to to an Audi forum where a lot more people care. You want apples to apples race a boosted manual Max on the highway with your TWIN TURBO. There are a lot of Maximas in the NYC area as you know many of which boost. Go to their next meet with a video camera and show your stuff on the highway. Otherwise the numbers prove you would lose to a mild modded 5th gen NA and would be destroyed by one boosting unless you have new mods your not telling them about.


Good Luck

Here is an idea for you! Turn sigs off in your user options!

 

Aren't you the one who says he won't believe it until he sees it? Let's see some timeslipsand some facts.

 

I am going by timeslips from Maxus smartass! And I have driven a few A6 6spd and auto as well. Great post and contribution to the thread...as usual!

 

I try, hardass.

 

Keep trying! Do you have anything to contribute to this thread at all or any for that matter regarding Maximas? (since you love using it so much!) If not feel free to use the PM feature.

 

Flame wars are considered contributing?
Like I had said, I'm trying to contribute, but am obviously failing...so, why are you asking me again?
Since I love using what so much?
Likewise, great post and contribution to the thread!

 

And because it's a 4-cyl, and they tend to lose steam up-top. Sometimes there's no replacement for displacemnt.

 

yes i'm a newbie, yes i don't have a maxima yet, but i enjoy reading what you guys have to say until the flame wars begin. like anyone cares what i have to say, but i'm just disappointed in you guys. but i do love the sig phatguy. made me laugh hard the first time i saw it. hehe

anyway, i'd take a maxima or an a4/a6/s4 if someone gave me either one! seriously though, lets calm down. and lets all try to get along. too bad rodney king got arrested again for drug charges, i guess all that money he won from before went to his head.

that rambling made no sense.

that is all.

-replicant

p.s. my stock 96 intrepid would take on anyone on this board heh (i wish). i can't wait to get a new ride.

 

Flame wars? Not at all! Read the course of the thread I got brought into this A6 issue indirectly. Anyways I'm not sweatin' anything and I'm sure Jim isn't either. If we had a problem with one another we can either PM or Ignore....no biggie. If a statement is made that can be contridicted by facts then it isn't flame at all! I am spiteful and make comments which only whiners would complain about. Trust me I like the WRX, S4, A6, and Max. They all have different qualities and pricing. There is no question that Max does very well for a car it's size and the fact it is non boosting V6 and excellent pricing. Even the new Altima (in stock) is going to be steep competition for much more expensive boosting euro cars. With Nissan you get a lot for the money no question!
