max vs the new altima
has anyone raced one of the new altimas yet if you have how did you do. cause i have a stock 95 max and i can keep up with the new maximas, till about 80 then they gain more speed is this because they have more hp or what.
i dunno...depending on which model altima it is it might give you a run for your money. the 02's have what 244 hp? more or less. i'd say it depends on what you've got in your car. i drove my uncles new altima the other day and i also have a 95 max, it seemed to drive pretty damn nice so i'm not really sure. i'm waiting for it to be on someones kill list one of these days. anyone else think differently?
Our 4th gens will lose to Altimas unless heavily modded. They have a bigger engine. Any mods we can do...they can do better. Their suspension which was ripped off of the skylines will do donuts around our beam suspension. I heard that since the Altimas are made in the US, that the quality is not as good as ours as far as interior workmanship, but it's not that much of a difference. Even the 5th gen maximas probably have a hard time keeping up with them. I really don't see the logic as to why Nissan would put so much competing pressure on another one of it's own products by making the Altima *gasp* better than Maximas.

i do not think the 4th gen maxima will hang with a 2k2 altima since they are running low to mid 14s stock. 4th gen maximas stock run 15s if im correct and with heavy modding 14s and 13s. and no our 4th gens cant hang with a 2k2 maxima
