Escort ZX2 beating Maximas daily?

 

yeah I laughed at that too he must have meant the 1st and 2nd gen Maximas....


go Nigel....

 

way to represent and get some well deserved respect. It's funny how many disbelievers there were. Z2's beating max's daily. What a vivid imagination.

 

Doesnt sound like he got much respect to me. I mean they all still think it's some sort of fluke. And then half of them still dont believe it.

"The supra must have a boost leak" blah blah

Dang I swear people will give us NO respect. Geez.

 

Supra's get no respect from Ferarri owners.
Maxima's get no respect from Supra owners.
Honduh owners get no respect from Maxima owners.

What goes around comes around

 

I dont know if anyone noticed this or not but in the guys profile that started the post it says he is from "KS" I live here in Colorado and so does Nigel, I dont know how he could have raced someone in Kansas??? Unless the users profile is old. Just a thought, nigel you out there anywhere? If you did beat a Supra then great job

 

Don't stress it.. I noticed how a lot of the sports car drivers, and especially a good deal of the Supra people seem to think they are own the roads because they drive a Supra. Yea they can reach 600 rwhp without a sweat but they still only run 12 second 1/4 mile passes

Perfect example:
"Yeah thats what i keep saying,a Supra cannot be beaten no matter what happen.The supra that raced the maxima could have been an NA or definately had a boost leak or must be runnig the stock boost Can't believe a maxima beating a Suuuuupra "

 

Oh yeah...what's with all those guys acting like the Maxima is a light car? LOL WTF?

 

What else are those people supposed to say about their "sports car" geting taken down? Let them save face. WHen they get up next to another modded Maxima, and get romped again, eventually they might learn to not judge a book by its cover. I got my a** kicked one time by a little Subaru Justy, that looked like crap, till he popped the hood, and I saw the big ole turbo :-).

 

Well james, a '95 GXE 5-speed will weigh in at about 2900-3050lbs. Now if that's not light for a 4-door family sedan I don't know what is.

 

hehhe, sorry, i had to post something on there about it as well {Silent2g}

zx2's beating maxima's daily?
maybe stock maxima's, auto's at that

 

they are just comparing them to their cars.. I don't know exactly what a Supra weighs but it's probably more than a Maxima.

 

someone post this for me on there... RIGHT CLICK, AND SAVE!!!!

The food chain But that's one of the reasons I like the Maxima. Whenever I tell people what that I'm about to get a Maxima, they usually give me a funny look and say "a Maxima??" Then I say "just wait, you'll see..."

 

I'm sure. I hate Supras but love their engines...I wouldn't join this board, but someone needs to tell them what's up about that post. THat's so frickin' lame.

 

did doug just own that thread?

 

Heh, get around more...Doug ownz a lot of forums

And on a side note, I made an appt. on Monday to dyno. Told him I was bringing a 97 Nissan Maxima and he gave me a double take and was like, oh, uhh, ok.......felt like slapping that **** right in the face

I know he does

Why is it hard to understand that you want to dyno a 4 door family car?:laugh

 

Funny thread...

I was at the muffler shop yesterday and another customer asked me about me modding (S/C, etc) ".... why a Maxima?". I told him cuz no one expects it... LOL.

 

i am just going by etown scale..

 

I saw the Turbo maxima one and the one at the track where that max flys off the line and someones saying in the background he red lighted it. I can't figure out the purpose of these videos on the supra forum? I understand the post of the supra racing Nigel, but whats up with the other two. BTW, in Nigels race with the supra did he hit the button at the end or did the supra hit the brakes?

 

what video were you watching? i didn't see nigel racing on video

 

that was me in the race on the video, and the supra hit the brakes when we were around 155mph.

 

circo, what wheels are those????
me likey

 

Good response!!!!!

 

supra is a sports car, a maxima really isn't. that's why it doesn't get any respect.

 

MODA R6 18x8's

 

Sorry about that! I got a little mixed up with three videos on there. Did you spray right as the supra hit the brakes?, cuz I saw your brake lights too right after.

 

i was spraying the whole race. his brakes are just that much better

 

no you were not.. the SC was doing most of hte work

 

 

Ahh I see that makes perfect sense! Bad @ss ride tho

 

 

Um.....i dont know about the S/c .......Im pretty sure he doesnt have a S/c .....that was all bolt on's + Nitrous
