4th gen max and a Matrx XRS

Any thoughts on the matrix? It has 180HP and is about 300 lbs lighter than a maxima. Would you guys ever do the trade? They have the same engine as the celica gts. I'm highly considering it as my next car. Anyone ever ran up against one?

My friend has a Matrix XRS (auto) with an exhaust and cold air intake and wants to race my 99 auto max, although I hope to get my frankencar intake installed next week before I race him. I'll let you know what happens.

i believe the manual optioned ones are just a tad faster than the auto maxima, but not competition for a 5speed. they have low torque numbers as well

yeah, all the power starts after 6000RPM.........but i dunno, with maybe a 4500RPM drop i think the XRS 6spd might be able to own the 5spd maxima
