Question 267 hp??????

I have a dealer claiming to have a 1999 maxima se limited edition. He says there were only 500,000 made and that it has 267 hp. Is this bs?

Its a beat and I think I may pick it up either way but I want to know if this 1999 limited is with 267 hp even exists

uhhh, never heard of it. But still a good car, even though it doesn't have 267 hp.

definitely not 267 hp, that's more than the 02-04 3.5's. it may be an Se-L, but it's still 190 hp and 205 tq like all 4th gen max's. that's a pretty good deal though still and good mileage for that year. they say that a stock 4th gen with 6 psi turbo on it makes 267 fwhp.

it's exactly the same as all the other 99 Maximas but it is not as loaded as a GLE but more like an optionless SE with a few little interior/exterior pieces.

Isn't that figure the same as a max with a Stillen supercharger? Funny he would pick that figure. On the flip side, GM has been doing that for years. They will sneak out a few protypes and watch the VIN numbers and track engine repairs before a wide release. I had a 1980 V8 cutlass with a computer on board when a officially computers weren't released until 1981. Freaked out the mechanic, but he was able to research the cars history by the VIN#. Not saying they did, but 500,000 sounds insane. 50 units sounds reasonable. If they did sneak you out a 3.5 a little early, I wouldn't tell anybody until after you race them.

if you're going to buy the car regardless of the hp you should have him sign a sworn testimony saying it's a 267 hp stock 4th gen. then have the car dyno'd and when, not if, when it comes back at 178 whp or whatever, sue him for coercing you to buy a car under false terms.
