Maxima or Integra

[gang$tarr]

so you're still an idiot for getting a shitty car, just because more people have the good car

In my neighborhood people always get a wide range of cars, nobody wants to get the same car as somebody else on the street, everyone wants to have a better car than the neighbors The only car that i see more than one of everyday is the Mercedes SL500......... it seems like every old person has the damn car (including my dad )

Are all americans so stupid to drive japanese mother@#$%ing cars?? :huh:

You all should go to the doctor and check your....

[gang$tarr]

what's up with all these newbies talkin so much shit?
If you don't like japanese cars than stay out of the japanese forums!! My family doesn't own any Japanese cars, but I like them

we only own euro cars

you're right, best thing about ls is the insurance cost....way way lower than a gs-r, even thou i have a gs-r myself....a friend of mine pays pennies for his turbo'd ls, while i'm paying much more for the gs-r.....and he's blowing past me now w/ that thing.....

only other benefit of ls over type r is many more paint colors to choose from, lol.....

integ over maxima unless you have a family or sumthin'....integ is the real racer, ain't no real racing in a family sedan, even thou it has awesome performance....that's only my personal opinion....

good luck thou....

The new Altimas come with a V6 with I believe 260 hp and does the 1/4 in 14.0 and goes from 0-60 in less than 6 seconds (5.7 I believe). The new 4 cylinder Altimas have around 176 hp. I saw a review of this car on Speedvision, cant remember who in particular was doing the tests. Oh yeah, the Mustang Cobra w/ 320 hp is only .3 sec faster than the 4-door family car Altima!

Nissans are great cars but dont confuse a maxima with a twinturbo300zx or a skyline. The maximas are not built for good quick responsive handling and their suspensions arent that great. you say that "a maxima can run 15s", well anyone can make a car run under 10s, even integs. just depends on how much $$ u have. If you have the $$$ why not just get your self a s2000 with a comptech supercharger? It have 340hp at the wheels, easily run under 14s. maybe 13s?:flash: :flash: :flash: cant go wrong with honda. get a GSR or type R.

uhm. I own a 98 GS-R and well..let me see...I dont quite know about 97 maxima..but a 2001 and up maxima..would own any integra on the road..straight line, plus the 2001 maxima's skidpad is someone near .90 which isnt quite that bad either...it has a killer 255hp V6, in a 3400 lb 4 door. check out those #'s I think it calls for easilly mid 14's or lower. stock. like I said I dunno bout 97, but I do know ti has the same engine as the 255hp 2001...so it cant be THAT far off... ive heard 15.0's btu ive heard 14's also...a type R would'nt quite sqeeze anything better than 14.8 correct? just my 2 cents. but I would still rather own my GS-R, long live vtec..great great system. oh and btw im a old 94 mustang GT user...and with my gt I could only manage a [email protected] a 5.0..stock but..you know....my teg GS-R runs 15.2s, a catback, headers and mabey camshaft upgrade..and Im rdy for 14's

just my 2 cents.

First of all by no way are Maximas and Integras in the same league!
For one a Maxima is a LUXURY SEDAN! Whereas the integra comes in three trims family sedan, family coupe, sporty coupe!
Secondly (some may be offended) but the GSR and Type R are NOT sports cars! If you wanna race them thinking that they are racers go ahead but they aren't! They are a four seater coupe with some SERIOUSLY POWERFUL engines!!!!
In my opinion nothing is a sports car unless it has two requirements:
1 - a two seater!
2 - at least 6 cylinders!

Dont get me wrong the Acc is a bad ass car however it's not a racer!
I personally would never pay money for anything again associaed with the H but I respect an Integra thats why you would never see my racing any Acc with the model ending with an "R" which brings me to my conclusion ...... I though I'd never say this when comparing Honda and Nissan.. But it would blow the shyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyt outta a Maxima
Not even close no comparison!
But I'd still prefer a Maxima cause its got way more power/torque and horsepower NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ACCELERATION!!!!!

[CanadianG]

If you are gonna flame me first take this into consideration

well anyone can make a car run under 10s, even integs. just depends on how much $$ u have. If you have the $$$ why not just get your self a s2000

I rest my case, That says it all!

This is a very simple situation. I "used" to drive honda's. I thought that they were the coolest thing and so wonderful. The a got a deal on a Maxima, and to put it bluntly, now I know better.
The only reason to get the Integra over a Max is if you want to completely rice it out. I'm not ripping on them at all, I have respect for them, but there just not as much car as a maxima. As far as power goes I don't care what you do to a honda engine, there's just no replacement for displacement. Also uunless you are on a track V-TEC is nothing more then a way to get higher horsepower numbers for marketing purposes. And can anyone say torque I won't even go there.

If you go the Integra route I agree that you should go no lower then a GSR model. As far as a Max, get a manuel it makes a huge difference. I will bow down to the stock handleing of the go cart... I mean integra. But with a few slight suspension models and good tires a max will eb right there.

P.S. If you are into all that engine moding stuff, then absolutely get a maxima and tweak the transmission for faster 0-60 and 1/4 miles. The late 90's maxima tranny's are deffinately gear for a smooth ride rather then being quick, there is HUGE potential here. E-mail me for more info on anything.


Both are great cars its a personal taste issue good luck.

Adding a modification to a v6 motor adds quiet a bit more power just because the engine is bigger it notices bigger gains. Anyhow obviouly a modded type R will take out a stock Maxima, but common sense, two of them with equal mods would be wel equal?

By the way, my original question was SHOULD I GET A LS INTEGRA BECAUSE TYPE R'S ARE OVER PLAYED WHERE I LIVE OR SHOULD I GET A NISSAN MAXIMA. YOU GUYS CAN GO PISS OF WITH YOUR TYPE R BULL SHIT BECAUSE THEY AREANT AS FAST AS THEY ARE PLAYED OUT TO BE

What was the fastest you seen Maxima gone? I have driven a 14.3 stock 97 ITR.

I don't think you would want the Comptech SC. It does nothing good for the car anyways. S2000 stock can run high 13's already.

The only force induction I will consider is Speedcraft's T4 Turbo. Gain through the entire powerband unlike Comptech. 8psi = 400hp at the crank for F20C engine.

2001 Maxima had 227hp. You do know skidpad # had a lot more to do with tire size than anything. Type R have done better than 14.8 seconds! Also for your information the Pre-2002 Maxima pulls .85 on skidpad!

I don't agree because a lot of the world's sports car would not fit that requirement then.

It should be this

1. Mid-engine setup
2. Rear wheel drive
