Raced a 2003 nissan maxima this afternoon, that guy was such a dick, i see him cut everyone off and when i saw him pass by, I rev up. And then he starts to slow down and I knew he wanted some. Well it took awhile to get rid of the traffic, but we got a straight, from a 20 roll and I raped him. I was surprised, I thought those things were faster. But anyways, it was kinda stupid, broad daylight and all.

 

Albuquerque, huh? Let me know if you ever come to the NYC area.

 

nice kill, show them bishes whats up

 

Nice kill.

Did you get a reaction from the guy after it was all over?

 

he was smoking a cigar during the whole thing, then when i saw him before he took off, he threw his cigar away and rolled up his window

 

Nice Maxima kill!

 

Good kill.

 

i killed a maxima the other day too...... pretty quick, hung on pretty well... i killed him tho.... NICE kill bro.

 

I haven't had the chance to run a CLS yet, but I've beaten up on a couple TLS's and a 04 TL...that was fun.

With those mods I'm not surprised you had an easy time with what was more than likely an auto Maxima. They're not slouches.....most are running in the 14's, so it's still a quality kill.

Your right, this isnt suprising with his mods. Stock for stock more than likely the outcome would be much different. Not a fair race, its a win but not a "equal" win.

 

eh...stop hating guys...j/m

 

A stock 02/03 Auto Maxima only runs high 14's @ 92ish mph, so with your mods you'd have a power & gearing advantage. The 4 speed auto in the Max's dont like to downshift all the time, and if he didnt floor it all the way it might not have went into 1st gear unless he manually put it there.

 

Nope they run mid 14's to high 14's(on a bad day in my case) I have an auto Max and 350Z the Max runs 14.62@94.35 totally stock and their are others at the org that run a tad quicker totally stock. The key to that car is the launch i fyou can hook it up you can get mid 14's and trap at 94-95. At 20 it might go into 1st or 2nd depending on its mood!

 

Well I dont see many 02/03 Max's at the tracks around here, so I can only base my opinions off of my gf's car. I dont know how in the hell you are getting 94-95mph, but her's is a consistent 92mph. She has ran a best of 14.9 @ 92mph, and thats with a low 2.2 60', which is probably about as good as the car ig going to do. The fact of the matter is that the gear ratios in the 4AT in the Maxima really kinda suck for acceleration, especially 3rd. Its like it gains an extra 500lbs when it shifts out of 2nd. :o

 

Well its lots of them doing it bud at the org stock, your sisters times are a bit on the slow side to be honest. I dont want to get into the inconsistencies of the 3.5 VQ most of us know that already. Some are much stronger than others from the factory than others this includes 350's G35's adn Altima's that is why the times vary so much with similiar cars. Also it in the launch, how does she launch it? 3rd in most 02/03 autos pull like hell that I have been in , 2nd is the weakest gear. Sort of like 4th is in the CLS/TL. BTW JTKZ13 I have chatted with your sister multiple times on the org "Maxceler8 cool person BTW" and gave her pointers on how to get better times out of it and she said she got a 92.7 mph 1/4.[/QUOTE]

 

Yeah, thats my GIRLFRIEND :fingerfawk:

I have been trying to get her to dyno it, but she thinks its pointless because its stock. I really want to get it to the track with the gas light on and awesome racing weather. Most of the pulls have been in slightly warmer to hot days.

I brake-tq it to ~1500 rpm and go. It usually only chirps a little, no real spinning. Brake-tq'ing doesnt really seem to make a huge difference because I ran the same times just flooring it from idle.

 

Cool, what did when I got my best run was feather it a bit than gun it, I never floor it initially as it will spin way to much (brake tq lowered my time BTW). The weather was pretty good when I did, 3 runs and all where between 14.6-14.7 in 94's.
