What car gave your Max your best race?

Mine was a Caddy DTS and I lost but hung tight because he was ahead when the race began.

So far my best race was with a Grand Prix GT. We were head to head because we were both auto.

Porsche Carrera, he beat me, but I was on his a$$ the whole way past 120... :D

:p

Mine would be a early 90's Mustang 5.0. I didn't know it was a 5.0 at the time, and tried to take him. OWTCH!! He handed me my @$$!! But afterward, we pulled over and he said that he didn't think I could get that fast (110 or so)!! That's when I found out it was a 5.0.:sun:

I'd have to agree. I bought a Maxima over a Mustang and now Mustangs are rubbing it in. Those 5.0s destroy me.

I was on my way to work (45 miles from home) and I always drive fast. So I was almost late too. I was going around 120 mph and taking a ramp on the paytoll. Then I saw an STS accelerating in my rear view mirror. I wasn't even thinking about racing with that bull, but I still was in hurry to work. The guy took some speed , he had to roll at least 145 mph or somethink. Then the passager window opened and a girl came out from the window, half way thru it :eek: I was like WTF ??? Then she started pointing fingers on me ... ooo 00000 :flipa: At this moment I was really confused :apoke: They had to slowdown because of the traffic and where getting even with my car. She started yelling at me , I was laughing for at least 20 minutes, I couldn't stop. I never even tough about racing that STS b*%^h. That's my little story :zx11pisse

Aourgggghhh ?????

I never seen any girl driving that fast and why is she yelling at you?:bathroom:

I wish I knew, but I don't. That's why this situation is so funny. The stupid blond (passager) could fall on the paytoll at this speed and she was out from the window so that her belt was even with the window. I was like WHAT DA FUK ???????? I didn't know what I've done , if I've done anythink. I guess they where high or somethink. I don't believe that the mental state of those people was normal. Anyways, i couldn't stop laughing at this. :licker:

BTW : THE DRIVER WAS A GUY , THE PASSAGER WAS THAT CYKO BITCH:D ...

What tollway were you on goin that fast - 88, 294, 355?

What tollway were you on goin that fast - 88, 294, 355?

You forgot to mention 90! I won't try to speed on 355 because
are many cop out there. Once I saw a unmark camaro and a
beat up unmark station wagon. But on I90 after the toll near elgin
area, you can go really fast because I rarely see cop out there but
that doesn't there are no cop at all.:silly:

I-88 West , right after Aurora and before dekalb. It's all open space and you could see the cops from a mile, unless they're undercovers :alien: Then I drive fast on 355 , but not this fast (because of cops). Normaly I do 60 miles in 35-40 minutes, and usually it's after 7 pm. So don't try this at home :D


Ohh by the way, I forgot to mention that I drive this fast because no undercover will get close to you while you're driving at 110 mph. they normally catch people at 95 mph so thats my technique. But there is always someone jealous :) on the highway who just might call them up.:mad: So far I never got cought for anythink I did. If I was arrested for all the speed limits I broke, I would probably do jail for LIFE. :devil:

You gotta be crazy, or cyko to speed that fast on 355 or 294. Ya, you can fly west of Aurora for miles. I never go west because I get off at Naperville Rd, but I thought the road gets really shitty west of Winfield Rd. Maybe they fixed it but I used to hate to go to fast because the whole car shakes from the road.

It's all nice and smooth. I can easily go 110mph all the time. I was racing an 300M in the rain (I have some good ultra high performance rain tires :) We were even and then the traffic was getting closer so we had to slow down. Later.

Great Wheels Cyko :licker:

a S2000...oh yeah...one of the better racing ever...

and a Z28 at the strip..although i lost by .4 sec, i was ahead of the Z28 until i missed my 3rd gear....that was pretty good race too...

my best race happens about every friday. i race my friend who has a 97 max se. he always wins cuz he has a 5 sp. i just ordered a y-pipe so its on :)

I can't find any good races lately. Hm...I wonder why. :)

Does it have an S and a C in it? :D

I bet it would be a good race too. :) I could ask Mardigrasmax to race me, but I'm sure I would get toasted. Hm...maybe a small shot of NOS would help. :D

so far it was a 2001 Chevy Impala. Had lo let off a few times (because it took him a while to get up to speed) or I would have plow into his rearend. But when he got it going it was fun to waste him:D

LS1's, rx7's, supra TT's

My friend's moded Celica GTS, at first we were neck to neck but eventaully he pull up ahead.

How much money exacly did your friend spend on that Celica ??? Those are much slower then the Maximas, I had a GTS cabrio before and they look nice but their engine sux. Well, I was racing a Maxima 2000 SE and a Mitsu Eclipse GS-R or somethink like that and they both lost because of their suspension. What I mean is that we were racing in medium traffic on a freeway and I kicked their ass big time cause I could change lanes in no time and I would squizzzzzz between cars, while they were stuck behind other cars. After a while we were going 115MPH and even at a light turn they had to break alittle with their stock suspension. Me, well , that's a diffrent story :) I did wait for them like 3 or 4 times. The funny part is that I was so concentrated on the racing that I missed my exit, hehe. ...


BTW - Kids, don't try this at home :devil:

P.S- Why does my maxima go only 120MPH ???? Thats not enough for a 6 banger. My friend has a BMW 328is 1994 or 5 and he can kick my ass just because of that damn limit, whats up with that ??

You have a speed limiter on your car because it came with S rated tires stock. You have 4 options: 1- Buy a Modified ECU, the limiter is removed on them; 2-Buy an ECU from an SE, GLE, or GXE with the comfort and convienience package, they don't have limiters; 3-live with it; 4- Look at the right side of your ECU, on the right side of the bolt there is a pink and blue wire, cut it, put a switch on it. When you turn the switch off, you will no longer have a speed limiter, but if you leave it off too long you will have a check engine light, and you will have to reset your ECU. Disclaimer: Do whatever you want to your car, I take no responsibility if you screw it up! Have fun. :D

Last friday on my way to work in the afternoon on palatine road and AH road. There were 3 lanes, I was in the far right and the middle on was a Ford Escape. I knew when the light turn green I have to move to the middle lane because the middle and the far right lane is merging. The light turn green I speed up so I can pass in front of this Escape but this dude refuse to give me an inch and floor the gas and I can hear his engine screaming at the time and we are side by side. I knew the the 2 lanes merge very soon so I floor my gas pedal all the way. From 0 to 35mhp we were side by side but after that I can feel the Max launch I mean very fast. The last thing when I look back at the mirror I was around 1/2 block in front of him( It was hard to measure car lanes). I was around 85 mph when I look back at him. Some Suv owners think they got a small suv and think their Suv outrun car, THINK AGAIN. :right:

Since my tires jumped few letters in the alphabet to Z I'm wondering how much is a ECU , the sports one ??? My GLE is full equiped , winter package , all that it could possibly be equiped with (no moonroof tho).

Where could I buy it cheaper ??? How much for the PIAA hyperwhite bulbs, can I put them everywhere or just the main lights ???


BTW, my maxima saved my life so many times. One time I was following my creazy friend who was driving 75 mph in a 40 zone, it was a 2 lanes street. So I'm behind him and we were on the right lane (parking space, but this I didn't know), he was passing a Chrysler and he changed to the left lane. All I saw in front of me was parked cars, and that Chrysler to my left. I had maybe 70ft of space left. I had a choice , start braking from 75 mph to 0 in 70ft , or press the pedal to the metal. I knew that I wont make it braking. My heart was pounding like creazy, and my friends in the back where screaming "Oh my God" then I floored my pedal and TAKE OFF. I said to myself, well fuck it, if I die, it ain't going to be while braking. And I made a creazy ass lane switch at maybe 90mph in a 40mph zone. My friends kicked my ass after we got out of the car, you could accualy smell the sweat , hehehe. I was shaking for few seconds , then a couple of hours later I was racing back home. Well my nickname says it all : CYKO . That situation really gave me alot to think of. My conclutions where simple : ADRENALINE ROCKS :devil:

Well MAXIMASE2000, if you think that SUV's are slow then think again. My friend has a Range Rover and last week we were racing a 5.0 Mustang. This car can eat a maxima for lunch. The guy in that Mustang was all proud so I told my friend to lower the ride and put it in 4x4, when the light was green it was like NASA, I was glued to the seat, the mustang was even with us, then we had to slow down (thnx god). The only problem was that we couldn't go faster on 4x4 mode. Max 60mph. Still, I don't think that all SUV's are slow, try to race a Yukon Denali.

My friend put about $5k into the engine; he has a 2000 Celica GTS 5 or 6 speed i'm not sure! not the old ones. And i have a 98 MAxima GLE, auto stock. But if i put money into my car i'm sure i can kick his ass. Stillen supercharer.....man i would beat his ass!

Well CYCKO, I did race against Denali and he was tasting my exhaust.
As for the race against a Ford Escape, I have no choice because this guy don't want to give a an inch of space. I know there are some fast Suv out there like BMW X5, FORD F150 LIGHTING and TYPHOON which they don't make it anymore. I am also a Suv owner but I never challenge any car owners because I know how fast it ran.:flash:

a Yukon Denali? i just had that for lunch..:D

not all SUVs are slow...some SUVs are just flat out fast...but it's not Yukon Denali....i'm talking about the MB M55 AMG!!! this car..i mean, this SUV will flat out smoke most sports cars...:eek:

race a 911 carera

All MB AMG product are fast.

very true

A few months ago I saw a S500 or S600 AMG in Chicago and this thing was extremely fast. No MB emblems on the car except one emblem said AMG.

Lightings are fast, espacialy every other week when they are coming back from warranty repairs. One truck that I had some experience with was an X5. It was on I-90 east of barrington I was in the car with my lady and my budy. Anyhow I was racing my friends A4. We were having fun around 100 mph, when I saw the X5 pass us. We looked at each other all confused, then the pedal went to the metal. He kept up until about 120mph. When I got up to 135mph both the A4 and X5 were gone. Another victory for the Max.

yeah you know it!
