The Type S TL runs a 14.7sec 1/4 w/ a 5 automatic. If your Max is a 2000 it's got the 222hp right? I have walked away from them with my Prelude.
My car is not stock like yours

I can see that. If whats in your signature is all you have, then the dynamat alone would cancel out the performance gains. Plus you and I know that the rest of the stereo stuff is not exactly light. You do have one advantage you can put people in the back without they're feet behind there head like in my Prelude. :hehehe:

If I had a choice between the Acura CL-S, Maxima or the TL-S I would get or lease the TL-S instead.

Why don't you do a little research the max's resale is bad and Nissan as a brand is horrible.
i am LAUGHING at your post. you are an idiot for making us Honda folks look bad...Nissan Maxima all the way; BTW, the Maxima is $5K less than the Type S - thank you, & please drive thru.

Skyline - Honda has nothing in comparison - NSX? don't even try
Sylvia/240SX - Integra/Prelude lose just by being FWD
Sentra - Civic not even same class, please, please
Altima - Accord never had a chance, & won't. Honda won't beef up motors to match
Pathfinder - Isuzu Rodeo, i mean Honda Passport whatever.

i bought the Accord cuz i listened to my Bro & a friend who was a salesman, shoulda listened to my own instincts

TL-S is a performance luxury sedan the ture comparison would be the I35 and that has no chance. If the Maxima is such a great car why are they not selling. The TL is selling like crazy the highest selling luxury mid size car.

As for the Skyline.Look at the Sport compact car or Road & Track they tested both and they rated the NSX a better car.

The Silva/240sx sucks, the Prelude is a far better handling car, shoot the Accord sedan handles better than that POS.

Sentra don't make me laugh the only sentra that is worth anything is the old SE-R. I don't care that much for the Civics neither but the Si is better in every way.

The Altima just has a big motor and thats it. I've driven the 3.5L yeah it's fast but fast doesn't mean anything if the chassis can't handle a corner.

As for the Passport it's not a Honda. The new (I think they're going to can it the PILOT) will easily out match the Pathfinder.

Nissan motors will never compete with Hondas. Nissans motors have to sacrafice either highend or lowend to make all there power. Honda motors don't lose anything anywhere, they're quieter, give better acceration, better durability and better gas milage in a smaller displacement. Anyone can make power out of a turbo.

Maximas are better then any acura /honda crap,.

Maximas are faster than preludes too.

The Maxima has the best v-6 engine in the world

and no doubt best engine overall .......

Maxiamas are not faster than preludes. Also the motor that got motor of the year was the old 3.0L not any of the new ones. Honda has those honors, but thanks for trying.

Im not trying, I know, since 95 Maxima has gotten

awards for having one of the best v-6's in the world.

I dont have to try, Ive owned hondas and toyotas,

and they are crap compared to a Maxima. I guess

Id really be upset to if I owned a Honda and new that

the Maxima was much better, more luxurious and faster.
