1997 Nissan Maxima SE vs. 1995 Toyota Supra Non Turbo

OK, this kid in a NON Turbo supra wants to race me for cash. I know his car is 100% stock with over 140,000 miles on the engine and it has a stock 220 horsepower. My personal best time at the track is a 14.84 and I an consistently run 15.0 with an average launch. I just put in a short shifter so that might help me for 1/ 100th of a second LOL. Do I have a good chance?

this kid on my campus has a late 90's n/a supra. we ran quickly at light on the way home one day and i pulled on him. it's definitely worth a run. IF he wins, it won't be by much at all

A kid in a supra gunned at me in phillipsburg not too long ago. I would have gunned back, but I was in my girlfriends jetta 1.8T, though, with how slow he shot off the line I dont imagine it was a turbo.. I want to take my max and find him someday, give him a run for it..

According to wwwCarstats.com the 94 Supra non-turbo runs 0-60 in 6.9 and covers the 1/4 in 15.9. It might give you a good run if it is a 5speed though and if you don't spin out on your launch you should win but not by very much though.
Good luck.

What year Supra are u racing? Is it the Supra T-top version or hard top version? If he dosent have the heavy wing then he might win if he is a really good driver. Are u sure it is stock and he doesnt have any mods u dont know about because he can have a mod that u didnt see.

OK, so the race went down today on a side road in my neighborhood. I clicked in my trip meter on my odometer and drove straight for a 1/4 mile (2.5/10) and put a trash can there so we knew where to stop. We raced a total of 3 runs, and the first one he jumped the gun we were neck and neck at the end. The second time I beat him by about 3 car lengths and he said we had to race again to see since he missed 3rd gear. The final run I thought my launch was crappy, but once I got to 6,000 rpms in 2nd I was pulling ahead of him and once I shifted into 3rd he was in my rear view mirror. Just to let you knwo he doesn't have a wing on the back and he does have an HKS exhaust and a S-AFC, so his car isn't totally stock.

YEAH MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!!:devil:
these people better recognize do not mess with the maxima, it should be in the ricers bible!
1. thou shalt NOT mess with the maxima! especially if it is 4th gen!
2. if thou hast a I/E/H in your car and have a lot of stickers, thou art a ricer.
3. Thy asses shall be owned by Nissan, know this!!

and the list goes on!!!
I know I may be talking shit but hey you have to admit that was a nice kill by skymax97
*preparing to get flamed*

Good Point!!!

you can't flame that. gotta love it

It felt really great to let this kid know that Max's are no joke.

yeah, the other day this prelude jumped on my ass and was riding about 4 inches off my bumper, he was so close i couldn't even see his headlights or grill over my spoiler, i threw it from 5th into third and hit almost 100 in no time, that kid was like 4-5 cars behind after, and he stopped riding my ass.

I would call that a big kill since he was driving like such a deuche bag!

that's what sucks about having a modded car. everyone thinks you're gonna be driving everywhere as fast as you can, and when you dont't they get pissed. i wasn't trying to prove my car was faster(which it is) i just wanted him off my ass. it was either that or break-check him

Some of these RICEY boys are rookies on the road they they driving ability sucks. They might overestimate their stopping power and slam into the back of you... oh wait... what am I saying? Then you get a free tail light conversion done by his insurance company, AND you get rich because of that neck injury you feel coming along. Discard what I said about never break checking. LOL

the thing about break checking is they're already so pissed at having to drive at your pace that if they did hit you they'd probably just get out and start swinging.

Would only make you RICHER one the lawyers were done outside of court!!!

my friend mike got in an accident that was the other guys fault. he blamed mike and they started arguing. then the guy hit mike. mike cracked the back of the guys head open (25 stitches) and sued him for damage to his car. since the guy instigated the fight (according to witnesses) mike got off free of blame

I wouldn't know because I don't have any. (JK)

when toyota made the non turbo supra it was pretty much an economy car for the old man that wants a sports car to drive to work an doesn't feel the need to invest in the sports/turbo version. if you beat a stock turbo i would give you propts, but if you put a lot of things on your maxima and you can just barly beat the economy version of the supra then thats not much to talk about. by the way i don't know how much horse power, with all the stuff you added, gives your 3,800 pound four dour try to be a fast maxima has but with out a doubt. my older 1988 supra turbo with 5 speed, gibson exaust, cold air intake,lowered, ground effects, 17'' rims,short throw shifter, one and a half shot of NOS boost, 16 pound turbo with 20k,with a one and a half shot of NOS,and the car with 95k would not even have a problem smoking your 3800 pound family sedan family sedan.but that is what you get when you try to make the car that your dad gave you when he brought a new one fast
i have never ran the straight quarter mile because there aren't any tracks anywere near where i live. only 1/4 mile ovals. i will make a post when i get a time. i don't think that i would do it that much though because it beats your car. but i do have fun beating almost every single car that pulls up next to me and wants to race, those stupid eclipse GSX don't even have a chance. they think because my car is older its slower, well guess again
i would send a picture but i have to burrow my buddies digital camera
there will be one soon

Your a fuckin moron :newbie: go home and dont ever come back :banhim:

a 4th gen maxima only weighs 3001 lbs. according to my old registration my 95 maxima weighed 2895lbs. that's less than a supra from the same year.
i would hope your supra would beat a maxima cosidering you put all that shit into it. a maxima is still faster than a N/A supra though.

Isnt the Supra turbo a 6spd?

Then maybe you should tell that idiot kid not to try other cars much less a fwd maxima in his "economy" Supra. You sure don't lie very well. 'ground effects"????

STFU....and go away. "16 pound turbo" What the hell is that? And NOS, shit, I could put NOS on my 2002 SE and make you eat my shit....

isn't a supra the yota equivalent of the Lexus sc300? i know i could whoop those things in my old car.

Nice kill dude.

deadmaninc, I also thought the Supra Turbo's were 6 spds and not 5. I know a guy with a 94 Supra Turbo in which his is a 6 spd. Granted, it's not as old as an 88 but I'm not sure if the 6 spd changed sometime after 88 and before the early 90's.

Hope that makes sense. :biggrin:
