The newest issue of Motor trend had a few nice things to say about the 2000 MAX SE long termer. It can run 6.7 sec to 60 all day,and still fill that it fell short vs the 4th gen. in some areas. They call it a "Sports Sedan' and call it a poormans BMW 530, the best bang for buck out their. In the same issue they also suspect that the New Max will come out in Winter 2003 as a 2004 model. They also did a preview of the G35 and they estimate it to hit 60mph in 6.5sec or less!

 

Thanks for the info. I assume the 2k was a 5spd?

 

It was a 5 speed.
