Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General i love this car...

last night on my way home after club hopping w/the fellas, I was taking my time on a local freeway going the speed limit looking forward to getting some much needed sleepy. it was about 2 a.m. so I'm crusing along and all the sudden I see a brand spankin new pearl white Maxima on 18's and tint pull onto the freeway from the entrance ramp at about 75-80 MPH.

So I sped up & slowly passed him as we got off the next exit which turns into a sort of mini-highway with about 2 miles straight with no lights and a 65 MPH speed limit. (for you se-michigan boys it was the telegraph exit off 696). After I passed him he switched lanes to pass the guy in front of him and he got behind me. I saw that he was speeding up so I slipped it in 4th and just when he was ready to pass me, I floor it.

we were neck to neck but I pulled about a car length ahead of him pretty quick. There was no shot in hell at him gaining any ground so after about a mile he shut it down plus there was a stoplight not far ahead. the spedometer for me was between 120-130 by the time I had to brake for the stoplight.

so I'm waiting at the stoplight and guess who wants some of the action? a Blazer extreme w/exhaust and lord knows what else pulls into lane next to me on the right. then the maxima pulled up on the right of him. at this point I'm lovin it as I start revving the car waiting for the light to turn green. As the light turns green, drop the clutch and I'm off. Had the jump on the Maxima which surprised me some because I've heard how fast they were. by now, the Blazer was toast and me and the maxima are at it again. I had about 1 1/2 car lengths on him until the next light where I had to shut it down because police are all over in that area.

so that was my story and I'm positive the guys in the maxima were shocked they just got spanked by a Contour . i doubt it was the 5 speed otherwise I'm sure it would've been much closer..

The same thing happened to me last summer, except it was and Impala SS, and a WS-6. Wasn't the same awesome ending though... Now that I think about it, I'm going to prentent that night never happened..... Okay, our stories are not alike at all, but you gotta love that feeling when someone wants a piece of ya!

Rather if it was the "brand spankin' new" maxima it would have been a 6-speed.
And it would have been much closer? It would have been you about 3 car lengths behind him short of you having a blower sticking out of your hood.

bullsh*t, i've taken out 3 maximas now (2 of the 97-98 body style) and lets just say i dont believe the hype. u cant tell me anything about that either, i dont care how much love they get on this site

very nice kill story, it always puts a smile to my face to read such in-depth stories! thanks and have fun

i was SMOKED by a new max 6 speed. i didnt stand a snowballs chance in hell cause my car is stock (just got it, car payments SUCK). what mods do you have done?

Hmm.... Gee, I wonder what .rude. drives? :p My Focus could spank a maxima and that is with me starting off in third gear and eating a Mozza Burger while getting a BJ from the $5 ho I got downtown. Also I would have 500lbs of bricks in the back seat. Oh yeahm, and it's the SPI engine too, not even the Zetec, I would have you by 12 car lengths before the unreliable Maxima threw a rod and the crappy recirculating ball power steering failed and your 4500lb Maxima flew off the road and exploded because everyone knows Maximas are prone to explode for no reason whatsoever. Oh yeah the paint sucks on them too. I'll take a Sunfire over that POS anyday! The End.

Geez a guy can't tell a kill story these days without being whined at...

BTW I beat a Mustang GT in Mean Green, the other driver sucked, I don't. Despite being a much faster car, I still won due to the other idiot overpowering his launch and missing his shifts/shifting to early/taking too long to complete the motions needed to shift.

in be-fo da lock

I give it 4 more post due to street racing

Nice work. Those Blazer Extremes can be slow, the Extreme thing is just an appearance package. I saw one run 17.8 at the strip.
