Raced an 03 Maxima
This was my second race against an 03 Maxima. The first time seemed very even with us having several rolling starts on the highway. IT was hard to tell who was pulling on whom because we always raced front to back.
This morning I was side by side with an 03 Maxima and we both were doing 65 behind a cop. The cop took an exit and we both looked at each other. I noticed he gunned it so I followed suite. We went from 65 to about 110 and I was pulling on him. By 110 I was a bout two cars infront of him. We both shut it down and went our seperate ways.
I know Maximas are quick out of the gate but on the highway, I think we can pull on them. Oh, I do have CAI, but that is it.

And the 03 max's are definitely out. I can't offer any input on either car's abilities to 'pull' at certain speeds. I found the TL-S and Max to be similar in terms of speed and torque.

I can as well I have both an 02 Max and the TLS. No cosmetic changes where made to the 03 only the optional Titanium Package which adds bright alooy rims and a barely noticeable titanium inerior trim. Other than the normal Line Maximas from 02 and 03 are identical.

Yeah the new Maximas are fast, but has anyone seen their crash ratings in the Insurance Institues Crash Tests? The Maxima is horrible!! Our TL's fair much much better.
