Nissan Maxima trying to play with the big boys....
#21
I tend to see alot of people in those maxima's that THINK there fast, They are usually the one's that just recently puchased the car with the dealer plates still on it. Some guy pulls up to me with his window down and says how sloll are those camaro's? I say not as slow as your car. he nails it and my brother says hit it, I leave him in the dust and he just turn's off at the next road. Then another guy six months ago tries to race me and I pull in front of him like he was standing still, he then drives by me and gives me the thumbs down. What ever, I know of a some vett owner's like that to, Some people are just lame some no matter what they drive.

Yeah, auto's run mid to high 15's stock, but at about 60, that shitty intake manifold really show's its worth.
And yeah, I know what you mean. There are people like that with EVERY car. I was down the track one time and I was walking around the pit area and some old guy in a convertible Vette with a cigar half sticking out of his mouth pretty much rolled over me and my cousin's toes he got so close. Long story short, he got walked up an down the track by an Integra, and I made sure he saw me laughing my *** off pointing at him. In my old Maxima, and the one Im driving now before my Z gets D.Dable if I had a nickel for every Crown Vic or Honda that swore they were God's gift to speed...well, you know.

uh the newer maxima's are rpetty f-ing fast for a 4 door v6 sedan.
I should know this because my friend and I used to cruise around in it looking for stupid **** to race.
He stayed door to door with a brand new STi once.... until the STi got pulled over for speeding and we cruised by silently and inconspicuously.

I like the wide stance of the Maxima...Nissan has really done a good job with remodeling that car.
I have seriously thought about getting one for a DD.....Just trying to find a used one to keep the price down a lil.....
As soon as my TA is paid for that is 582 back in the bank.....5 more payments to go....

The new ones are actually decent for a big family car. Possible high 14's in them. but no match for a stock ls1, much less a modded one haha good kill.
The newer ones are actually a lil slower than the body style before them...
