i have a 03 cl-p i raced a 04 maxima lost by like 2-3 cars but what would it take for me to run witha 04 maxima except the sc

 

alot there quick my father has 1 and he beats me all the time i have an 03cls with intake

 

wtf, stock for stock the maxima and cls should be neck to neck

 

uh if you ran a 14.4 like it says under your name...you shouldnt be getting beat my the new maximas..those things are huge

 

Horsepower : 265hp @ 6000 rpm
Torque : 255 lb-ft @ 4800 rpm
Redline : 6600 rpm

Top speed : 140 mph(electronically limited)
0-60 mph : 6.3 sec(manual)
0-¼ mile : 14.9 sec @ 95.8 mph
60-0 braking distance : 134 ft
200 ft skidpad : 0.81 g

Curb Weight : 3432-3467 lbs

???

why is it that it's nearly the same as a CL-S performance wise, but it has 5 more hp, and 23 more TQ and it even weighs less by nearly 75lbs???

 

"It turned in excellent acceleration numbers — 0-60 mph in just 6.5 seconds (although its sibling, the G35, ran it in 6.2 with an automatic), the quarter mile in 15.0 at 95.4 mph and produced stopping distances from 80 and 60 mph of 233 and 134 ft., respectively. These are competitive, but certainly not earth-shattering. Despite the wide tires, lateral acceleration was sub-par for a sports sedan — only 0.81g, but it slithered through our slalom at a respectable 62.1 mph."

That's from Road and Track

"This is a fast car, boys and girls. Even with its full load of luxury gear, the SE can flash from zero to 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds. The quarter takes 14.8 seconds at 97 mph. That puts the Maxima well ahead of the A4 3.0 and neck-in-neck with Audi's far pricier twin-turbo A6 2.7T. Moreover, the VQ engine--the same basic four-cam 3.5-liter V-6 found in everything from the 350Z to Nissan's new Murano SUV--is a honey. Outfitted with continuously variable valve timing and a variable induction system, it's smooth, rev-happy, and, with 255 lb-ft of torque available at 4400 rpm, pulls strongly in any of the SE's six forward speeds."

From motortrend

Just thought I'd throw in some food for thought

 

No way you should lose to a 04 Maxima running that time.

 

Well you still win hands down in the "looks" department.

 

How about a 14.279@96.352mph for an auto 2k4 Maxima:

A CL-P will need more than just boltons to run a VQ35DE Maxima.

$.02

 

That's a low trap for that time.

 

Yeh thats does seems funny. Did the guy every produce the timeslip? He also say he did 27 runs most likely my car will blow up if I did 27 runs no matter what the temp. I would like to see a tl6speed vs max6speed go at it stock.

 

That's typical Maxima though. (IMO, it s/b closer to 98mph) But look @ my best time: 14.72 @ 93mph. When I ran that time, there were a number of other cars that ran low 15s with the same trap. So it seems typical.

 

yes i ran that 14.4 i have slips ant7701 and vinarnold was there ..scooter saw the slip .at honda day and my fathers max ran at the track ,,my brother drove it and so far its best is a 14.4 ........but the car on the street beats me not by much but it does.. that car has more touque and wieghts the same a s our cls........we weighted the car ar etown ..........................and the cars bone stock.... mine has intake

 

and guys can we stop magazine racing please..

 

That would be a good match up. The TL would beat it in the "looks" department for sure

 

Maxima>CL-P

 

Anyway to answer your question, Headers, CAI and Pullies will do it, took me from a 15.62 to a 14.99.........."00 TL-P. You may not win everytime, but it will be alot closer.

 

more like bone stock 04 maxima vs cl-s with intake atleast. than its fair..

 

I've raced an 04 Max from 60-120 and I was about 1 or 2 cars ahead. I did this when my car was bone stock. Not sure about the Max, I'm assuming that it was an auto just becuse I'll bet that 85% are. I'd love to race one now that I have all my mods and my headers being installed Tues.

By the way I have the '03 w/ 6speed.

 

if u didnt live in new mexico id run u!!

 

You just missed out. I moved here from Mass a few months ago. Too bad
