I just thought this might be interesting for you guys with this car:
We can trace back today's Maxima most directly to the third generation Maxima which began to grow in size during the early 90s. Nissan coined it as the "4-door sports car." In 1993, Nissan added a short-run VE30DE engine to SE models good for 190 bhp. In 1995, Nissan introduced a new fourth gen Maxima along with the new 3.0 liter V-6 VQ30DE engine featuring an aluminum head and block along with micro-finished camshafts and molybdenum-coated pistons. Output was rated at 190 bhp with 205 lb-ft of torque. While it looked good on paper, it even felt better when driven. The VQ powered Maxima had amazing smoothness but brutal power when pushed. Quite a few magazines were able to get 5 speed Maximas tested at 0-60 in under 7 seconds.
