Curb Weight: 3,556 pounds

Brakes
12.60" x 1.10" front and 12.13" x 0.63" rear vented discs

 

The Maxima is never a direct competitor with the TL. What not changing the subject line to : "Will the '09 TL's brakes equal or exceed the new G37 sedan, 335i, C350 ?"

 

The Maxima has taken sales away from the current TL b/c the car is so old now. Maybe the new TL will re-position that dynamic.

 

I saw the topic and didn't even have to look at the name to know who the poster was......

I'm sure the TL will outstop the Maxima, IS350, G35/37, and 95% of all cars just like it always has in a single stop like most normal people do on normal streets.

On a roadcourse after a few laps, the bigger brakes on the other cars might start shining once the TL starts to fade but on the street, the TL is king.

Seriously, with the amount of time you spend bitching about the brakes, you could've installed a set of 20" 10 piston brakes by now.

 

Wtf kinda question is that?

 

Do a search on this guy's 2,000+ posts and you will see that he's obsessed with the TL's undersized brakes and most of his posts are directed at this.

He fails to understand that the TL is an excellent stopper even outside of it's class. The brakes may fade earlier during a roadcourse and I've experienced it, but for normal street driving and an emergency stop, they're much better than most.

 

This thread sucks. (insert thread sucking gif here)

 

Hmm, I didn't know about his obsession. Maybe he's part of some underground 60 - 0 club or something weird like that?

Don't forget about parachutes.

 

But why comparing to a Maxima ? What's so special about the Max ?

 

The new maxima is pretty impressive. If I recall right at the car show it did have a real panaroma roof. I really wish the TL would do this. I also think the sport package with the new maxima comes with 19's standard.

 

New Maxima is a hell of a car..

 

In most car mags its not anymore but in the real world it is, in the past before the G35 came it it was compared to the Max. If it were not for the G35 the TL would be compared to the Max alot more, they are both high powered nice sporty sedans that can/do have most of the features avail on cars costing alot more than either.

 

Sorry Hardriven, if you werent such a pain in the ass I would let this go.


I am tired of your brake arguements. I think the rest of the forum is as well.
