Yes, yes... my webhost is in the middle of upgrading their servers so there are numerous outages during this month and possibly next month as well.

But everything will be fine come next month.

DONT LEARN
Heres my opinion:

Do you plan on leaving it stock for a long while ? '97 SE.

Buying the Max to mod it ? '95 SE 5spd. Why the SE ? Cause Maxima's look OOGLIE without fogs, spoiler, and sometimes sunroof.

I also say get the '95 becuase stock-for-stock it is the fastest Maxima available. (with the exception of the '02 )

If you look hard you can still find a '95 in mint cond. with low miles. Mine was driven by a old couple and stored in winters. It only has 59k miles, 50k when I bought it. Everything is like new. Especially the engine. (Well that was b4 I got ahold of it )

'95 is also a good idea becuase it will give you extra cash to supercharge it. Mmmm, then you would have a real @ss kicker.

yes GXEs are HORRID...ANY GXE. If youre gonna get a GXE Maxima might as well consider the Camrys and Accords. And Sprint, question...why get a GXE if u wanna mod and not SE? Whats on the SE that hinders modding

Well SE comes with rims, spoiler, sport suspension, white gauges, foglights, etc. But if you're going to mod a car you're probably going to replace most of that anyway.. so why pay extra?
