2k2 Max vs GS 400 vs NOS Maxima vs Bolt-on Max

first off let me get my excuses out the way... secondly these videos are on my home server so until i can get someone to host them at a faster connection.. the downloads are going to be pretty slow...



I sneakly tried to make attempt to spray on the boys last night.. and Thomas told me prior to this that due to my NOS sitting for 2 months (long story) it would not hit hard.. and to make a long story short.. last night my car was faster NA than it was spraying 85 shot, this is due to the NOS making the car run extremely rich and with bad NOS i was flooding my engine... too late i only found this out later when i was racing greg...

http://www.5thgenmaximas.com/sprint/


in the first run with greg .. dougvsgreg video.. i am spraying and he walks right by me.. and you can seen in the doug and greg 2 and 3 videos that i decided to run greg NA and i beat him..

but i made a deal with greg and even though my car was messed up.. a win is a win.. so get is now a sx7r member

Steve also had some great runs with the GS 400.. he lost .. but they were pretty close.. great job steve.. as soon as you break it in.. you will be even faster

yes, i love my car, once i can drive a little better, i'm getting better every day and break that bad boy in some more i'll beat that GS and get my sticker too. i think i would beat him around town but on the highway the weight factors in less and the HP more. that's why a 850CSI runs a 7 second 0-60 but would walk an M5 on the highway.

OMG! Sprint sprayed and still lost? WTH?


Medic, you should run your car at the track again. If your car seem to be faster now for whatever reason, you better take advantage of that and get a few runs in.

Very nice. Nice music, but I think it would be better if there was just the sweet sound of the VQ engine.

Yes it is. BTW, the 2K2 engine is EXTREMELY quiet, all I heard was the heater blower on.

Ya mon! The 2K2 lights look awesome! You must be so happy to have that ride right now! There is no question in my mind that a stock 6spd Max is quick! What other cars are very comparable to a gs400 at those speeds? I just wanted to get an idea of how your ride would go up against other cars at those highway speeds? You gotta run an NA modded 5th gen 5spd too! Your car is going to be a beast with mods!

What mpeg encoder are you using cause it looks like poop. Try TMPGEnc next time. It's the best MPEG-1 and 2 encoder you can get your hands on. You can download it here. http://www.tmpgenc.com/e_main.html

nothing is wrong with my encoder.. if i wanted to make them high quality i would have done so with them at 5 mbs each.. you notice they are only 1 meg? and they still are visibile?

I used ULEAD video studio.. works well for me

You don't need 5Mbit/s you only need a better encoder. Using DivX 4.02, or TMPGEnc you could get much better looking files that are the same size or smaller.
