If you have em, let's see em, i wanna see some tours three wheeling! I'm in the midst of a heated debate with one of my maxima owning friends. I'm telling him that contours, especially SVT's aren't built for straight line performane but they shine like no other in the twisties.

Maximas handle very well, but with the solid rear axle they tend to tripod very easily, which isn't the fastest way around a corner. I should corner on all four again now that I have new springs. It's one of those things like wheelspin that looks cool, but makes you cringe at the same time. Our independant rear suspension is better, with proper spring rates and swaybars. Plus we're much lighter. Now the Sentra SE-R Spec V is very fast, despite having a solid rear axle.

I have no good pics of me. Weargle is my wallpaper.
Still, I don't know what a picture will prove, and I wouldn't even say autocross is the optimum venue, either.
You want race results, and that sort of thing.
I know there've been people posting about road racing--they tend to catch and pull away from much more powerful, even RWD cars (Mustangs) in the tight sections, but get overpowered on the long straights.
Maximas have sweet engines, but their handling in stock form can't match any Contour. Easy to fix, though, with some chassis bracing and suspension upgrades. (Or so I've heard.)
Function before fashion.
