my new 2004 maxima SL.

alright im sellin my sentra and got the maxima,i plan on keepin it for a couple of years then probably gonna sell it.this car has really good looks,i like the 17 inch rims,the headlights,the interior is beautiful.it drives smooth and there is a lot of room.the sound system is awesome.

the only thing that gets me about this car is that it isnt as fast as i thought it would be.it has a lot of torque steer and can easly spin the tires.but the other day when i took it up the highway i accelerated from 60-85 and found that it wasnt much faster than my sentra.

If anyone has this car,what do u think the 1/4mile and 0-60 time is.
i think its 15-15.2 and 7.1-7.4

Hmmmm. Well, it has like 100 hp and tq on your sentra, so it should pull quite a bit better. Then again, the 6th gens are fairly heavy. If you wanted a faster car, you should've gone for the 6 speed. Auto vs. stick = night vs. day in Maximas.

In any case, congrats on the new ride, I'm sure you'll like it a lot. Does it have nav or elite package?

found this posted, i have driven my moms 04 SL auto and high 14's feels right for that car, it didnt feel very quick, maybe even low 15's

6th Gen

Dear GOD yes.

only way to find out is to race them

sentra vs maxima sometime soon..

ill let u all kno the results as soon as it happens...i kno my sentra does about 16.so dependin on how bad it gets beat we will see...

maxima won for the most part.pulled hard up to 65 but didnt beat the sentra by as much as i woulda thought.one time my friend in my sentra got a jump on me and he was pullin on me! i was like wtf!!

but if we woulda took it up to atleast 70 i woulda fly by him.

it's all about putting that 93 octane in ASAP, like the guys in the SR forum said.

yea 93 octane and a nice k&n filter.
but still man,automatics suck...sometimes they snap ur head back other times they just feel like shit.
