The 02 maxima does a 1/4 in 14.3 seconds with one real time slip on a stock car that I have seen. Going by that......you cant say a mitsuibishi is better all around

sorry to come in in the middle here but I just read up on this post.

Transmissions in a Mitsubishi are rather weak, cant handle much power. My friend has a built Stealth twin turbo and the tranny is the weak point on that car. It did a 13 sec 1/4 with like 450hp upgraded turbo's 3.1 liter engine. Looks pretty sad to me. He spent 10 grand.....I am sure you can do better but thats my experience

And racing Turbo'ed eclipese in my automatic maxima.....I beat 2, 1 5 speed and 1 auto, both convertables

hehe dumb ass

I raced with 830 miles on my car Joe....Raced a GSR

Off the line 1-2 gear i have him and then he just pulls away from me and beats my ass down. like he gets car lengths. Beat me by about 3-4.

Do you think i did damage to my car....i dropped at 3000rpm off the luanch and chirrped second gear because I didnt take my foot off the gas.

You said you beat the shit out of your max but that was a v6...so im just worried my car will be bad

And the damn altima gear ratios suck...i eat first gear like in literally 3 seconds.

Talking

JBL, I think that youll be ok, Its a Nissan, It wont fall apart for a long time.

I wouldnt worry about it. You got rid of the Maxima? Seems like you

could of done better with that race in your Altima, if you were the

Maxima you would have won. Was his car stock?

OK, I think the Altima 5 speed and the Auto Maxima are just as fast as each other. Because When I raced with my GLE Max, it was next to it off the line and it just slowly pulled.

As for his 98" gsr, he had Greddy Exhaust and AEM Cold Air Intake.

I lost to GSR's in my Maxima, but I did beat a 4 door gsr that was modded out.
