01 maxima se 20th an. ed. vs. 01 eclipse

if my all stock maxima raced a 2001 eclipse who would win? (also my maxima is automatic, eclipse might be a standard).....(i doubt i'd win)


ASLO:
does anyone know if it's expensive to convert my automatic into a standard or tiptronic? and which would be the better choice?

provided the trannies are the same (auto vs. auto, manual vs. manual) i'm sure you'd win. but you auto vs. him manual you may get beaten slightly.

converting an auto to triptronic is pointless. the trip tronic leaves such a hesitation between shifts i can't imagine it being any faster than a traditional automatic. a standard swap would be significantly beneficial though in getting more power to the wheels.

thanks. but do you know about how much it might cost to get it converted to a standard?

an arm and a leg, my friend.

i dont know if i'm willing to lose those :/

yea cuz then you wont be able to shift...and it would be pointless...haha

hmm yeah. i'm gonna have to seriously rethink everything now...

you can do a 5spd swap for under 2k IF you do all the work. and yes it is worth it.

wow.....yeah i can't do all the work. i know NOTHING about cars

all you need is parts, tools, buddys, food, and two days free to work!

yes but where would i get parts? and i dont think any of my friends would know anything about doing that...

its called learning kid. lifes full of it. check car-part.com for a tranny.

yeah but that would suck if we messed something up.....but thanks

Hey sm1187 never underestimate the power of the Maxima for it is a powerful ally and will serve you well in times of need. You might lose off the line unless you break launch meaning you step on the break and push the gas down at whatever rpms you want to launch at. However once you get going you should beat the 01 Eclipse they only had like 210hp.

haha thanks. but yeah i almost raced a 2002 civic si last night but the cops showed up. but i did a test run b/c i've never tried to max out my car or race...well i hit 120 with 4 people in my car....it just feels so slow when i start off and i'm not liking that. and it sort of picks up but not too much

It would be realy close, I personaly believe the Eclipse would win.
less weight, more aero dynamics, slightly less horse power- but, slightly quicker..........

We'll just have to see it for our selves........
:smokin:

he has less horsepower than you and weighs around the same....you weigh about 100lbs more...you should be able to take him no problem....it would be better(closer) if it was a 2nd gen DSM or maybe a 4th gen Maxima.

thanks! but i know the eclipse has some mods, and i have none :-/

Just race him. Race the Si too. It's fun and who cares if you lose? I've raced Porsches and lost; I raced knowing I'd lose. It's fun to see how well your car will hang with cars you know are faster.

yeah...i'm not worried about losing. i just dont want to race if he says i'd win but is lieing and knows he'll win. that would definitely piss me off. haha but thanks!

:smokin: Racing is one of my favorite things to do!
The only thing is you end up beating up your car after a while,
and....well....just having to repair/replace/rebuild all kinds of parts.
Then again that could be fun in it self........
