my point was that i have never SEEN a maxima do better times, i know its possible but i didnt find any evidence of a stock 96 doing better when i google'd it. nad i posted the average times fro a good driver and teh time that i know for a fact others have hit others have hit. If i had found a spot mentioning a stock maxi hitting 15flat i would have posted it, but i didnt

There is a difference between feeding trolls (like what EVERYONE ELSE is doing!) and what I did.
Most folks are indiscriminately bashing Maximas which is downright short sighted. The Maxima is an excellent car and well beyond most of the examples posted.
I understand wanting to slam the dumb troll but that's exactly his objective. For all we know he drives a POS Honduh and wants us to hate on Maximas. Maybe go to their board and start useless crap. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ponder.gif)
Either way the bashing of Maximas is outright stupid since it's one of the cars that is closest in direct comparison to what we drive. One heck of a good FWD 4-door with an available manual & excellent engine.
very well put...the 95-99 maxima was imo the best years of the maxima.....we just sold my wife's 95(auto unfortunately) with 180k on the odometer,and the car still ran like new...that is a great engine in that car....it had good power,even for an auto,although it didn't have much of a kick when accelerating from speed(i.e. passing in 3rd gear)but overall very good power and reliability
new,new ride!

Jim, this would be a good time for you to post a video of Harold's Maxima taking down the 03 Cobra
Or maybe a vid(if you have one) of him running a LOW 12 second pass
Or better yet, his dyno graph at 580+FWHP and 600+FWTQ

Well smartass, nowhere did I see in the rulebook that a guy that sets his car up for roadcourses/streetracing/scca couldn't take their car to a 1/4 mile track for fun? My car wasn't built for 1/4 mile but it's what I enjoy. I'd say low 12's and 580whp out of a FWD(it's called front wheel drive) car is pretty impressive, especially considering it's a stock motor.

may i just add that harolds maxima is on a STOCK motor, stock internals, stock transmission, stock suspension, stock axles...basically stock everything besides the turbo kit and an upgraded clutch and injectors. I helped him tune it last week on his emanage with a rich low 11ish:1 air/fuel mix. And it still holds up on 6 grand clutch dumps on slicks. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif) He ran it at the track last week and only got in 3 runs, but his best run was a 12.2 @ 123.
PS. Btw, its 538 whp, 603 wtq. Scott mistold me. But still impressive nevertheless.
