Maxima vs. Acoord Coupe

My Friend always brags about how fast hi 2001 V6 Accrod coupe is. I have a 2001 Maxima GXE, I obviously have more horsepower but he says his car is much lighter so it equals out. He always challenges me to race but make excuses because im not sure if ill win. Do I have a chance or is his car really that fast as he says it is?

Got a 97 SE 5spd with intake/exhaust. Been there, smoked that. Have driven many of those v6 accords...not that impressed. Haven't driven the new Max's, but can't see it being that big of a deal.:o

bah ahahahahahah!!!!! An Accord V6 coupe!!! bah ahahahahaha!!!

i don't know how much i can laugh here!!!

i don't know where your friend got the idea that his car is 'much' lighter than your Maxima...uh...unless he stripped his dash, seats, carpets, and he's driving on milk carton...

don't even worry about him...you'll smoke him day and night....

the 15.8 is a time slip for a fully loaded automagic 2000 SE....i've seen faster time slips than 15.8s from SEs...especially when they are modified...

my first time ever track experience, i've managed to get 15.1(before my exhaust, fuel pressure regulators and pulley)..
that day, i swore to god that i was going to buy the LSD...
too much spin!!!

theres no such thing as a 5spd accord v6.

stock 2 stock the maxima and the accord are pretty close.

btw i know of an accord putting down 210FWHP. on a n/a motor.

how many automatic maximas do that?

philthismax just race him and get it over with.

Currently I am a 2000 Max se owner. I used to own a 95 Max se and I
race a 92 Max se and you know who won. The 95 Max se(190hp) so I
think the 2000 Max se(222hp) will do better than the 95 or 92 models.

:flash:
