I'd go with the maxima...i dont see many fixed up maximas around and when i do they are very fast. my friend has an older max...a 97 i believe...but he is basically stock and put a zex nitrous kit on it (which wasnt good since he doesnt have any internal mods yet but hey its his car) and his car flew (even with 5 ppl in it!) id watch out maximas arent mom-mobiles anymore......
