Raced a maxima SE
I just got a new pt cruiser 2.4 L... so after football practice a guy a know wanted to race, so i agreed to see what the little 2.4L could do. We pulled out of the parking lot and went down the road a little bit, we turned around and lined up. I gave a 3..2..1 and we where off, i got the jump on him but he soon gained a little bit of it back, we had to let off because of oncoming traffic. (2nd race), we once again lined up and started rolling, i gave a 3..2..1 and we were off, i once again got the jump on him but he gained it back and pulled about 3/4's of a car length ahead. At the end i lost by about 3/4's of a car length, not bad for the little PT.

No my PT isnt turbo... mine has the 2.4 high output motor in it. My car is a 5 speed manual and his is an automatic. I think thats why i could get a jump on him, cause i have that direct link from my power to the ground, he has to have fluid transfer put his power to the ground. But nevertheless he did take me by about 3/4's of a car length in the end, but then again his is a 6cyl and mine is a 4cyl, so im proud of my little PT.

the older 4th gen maxima's and even earlier 5th gen maxima's. ( the 3.0 liter ones ) in auto are not the fastest things from a stop. if they were 5 speed, then the results would be very different, but their 4 speed auto's kinda sucks.

Oh I think you could've spent your money wiser lol...but that's just me, if you like the ugliest vehicle known to man (not woman though, they love it) that's your decision.
