This saturday i met my freind driving his dads 2003 maxima auto. So im like u wanna get fucked up or wat. He's like whatver, he made a lame excuse about no tread. So we did a rolling start from twenty. I put my car in SS in 2nd and floor at his count of three. We but launch ahead and are tied, until we hit 45 my vtec ate the shit outta him till 85. I got about 7-8 car lengths on him it felt good kickin his ass!!!!!!!!!!

 

Nice kill.

 

you only have intake and you beat him by 7 car lengths ????????????????????

 

yea

 

nice kill...03 auto Maxs run 7.5ish to 60, so 7 car lengths is about right.

 

03 Auto Maxima's run high 14's - low 15's. Same as a CL-S. So 7 car lengths sounds like he can't drive. The fastest Auto maxima can hit mid 14's stock. I would say race him again!

 

How can you not drive an auto from a roll? Is your right leg not strong enough? :sqnteek: He probably got one of the slower maxs.

 

Sounds like your friend blew his dad's MAF sensor!!

Ronnie. '7.5ish to 60'.....ah no!! try 6.5ish to 60 for the auto. (Note Sig)

 

My bad, after looking at MT 2003s should run mid 6s. 7.5 was for 2001 (222hp, not 255hp).

These guys claim 7.4 for 2003, but they're probably just using the 2001 figure.

I read that same article but I think CR ran their acceleration test in reverse.

 

lol...maybe their MAF blew.

 

 

best run in my fathers 04 maxima se auto is a 14.48 so far bone stock... the guy couldnt drive his 03 max at all

 

nice kill

 

Manual shifting with an auto makes it very easy to screw up. And I manual shift my auto alot and believe me I have hit the rev limiter a few times. So he could have done that. And Im sure he could tell the difference between the new and older maxima. You can't get 2003 confused with a 2000 Maxima. to many differences to not know.

 

dude i beat it by that much they dont pull as hard as our bad boys

 

IGNORANT.

 

did u guys have any passengers??

 

nope

 

but also his car was not fully warmed up coulda played a factor

 

Very true, 02/03 Maxima can run with CLS/TLS autos with ease and vis versa it always kills me when drivers of either say they killed one, people should take these post with a grain of salt. Max advantage low to mid range, TLS/CLS up high.

 

With that said, then from a roll (RPM's up a bit), the CL-S has the advantage?

 

Up high say 60 to 80 roll but once the CL gets in that "tall 3rd gear"Max has advantage again. I love both CLS/TLS and Max(all sleepers) I have an 03 Max auto and 350Z auto and had a TLS. The TLS tranny failed 3 times and my wife said she was sick of it and sold it and purcahsed a 350.

 

dude are you from mustang works?....since when did you go infinity?

 

BTW im thinking this guy didny get the kickdown and was stuck in 2nd

 

I'm still going to go with the 'MAF sensor' theory on this one.

 

Nope, not from mustang works. Must be mistaking me for someone else?

 

True...I've done it myself, but it was never said he was gate shifting. Oh, and I mean maybe he just got a slow 2003, not accusing pimpscls for mistaking it to be a 2000.

Faulty MAF sensor

 

my dad has a 2k4 auto max, it ain't no slouch, it'll prolly beat my bone stock CL-S

 

Do it again with the car fully warmed up...

 

If he just had it in D at 20mph it might not have downshifted into 1st if he didnt floor it all the way, although it should have. 20mph in 1st gear for a 2003 automatic Maxima is only 2800 rpm, so there is no reason it should not have downshifted if he floored it all the way.

Race him again and make sure he isnt a moron and manually shifting it. Go from a stop and I guarantee as long as his car isnt broken he will give you a very good run.

 

ok

 

i know thers a guy from another board called ..they call me steel....is that a famous saying that 2 people might use?

 

I have TheyCallMeSteel on more sites than I can count, so not sure about that!

 

so what site might i know you from then?

 

if his car wasnt warmed up it prolly wasnt red lining

 

Well, I own the rights (lol) to TheyCallMeSteel at:

I am sure I'm forgetting a few. Most of these I havent posted on in ages, but I still have the name. (lots were one stop events)

 

i'd say it's clubGP then ....used to hang out there alot...it's been awhile though

 

Nice kill but 7 to 8 cars is hard to believe. Auto Maximas are no match for me either, I have never lost to one.

 

Damn thats no Kill thats a MURDER remind me not to pull next to you!!!
