I disagree with that statement....for a family sedan, not designed to be a sports car

not designed to be a sports car???? remember to window sticker in the maximas....4DSC (4 door sports car)

[BlOOe46]

i think no matter what Nissan calls the maxima, it wasnt designed to be a sports car (sedan)

i believe that title goes to names like ///M5, //S4, etc.

Hyundai lied about the HP on the Tiburon and a lot of other cars and is in big trouble because of it. They are freaking slow.

Nice kill!

i think the reason why the tiburon beat all those cars are becasue those guys can't drive. i clearly drive a pretty slow car. but i was able to smoke a car that was beating GS-R's, SE-R spec V, 1.8T, and Si's by 3 cars!! 3 cars!!!! that proves how bad those other guys are. its all in the skill level. maybe the guy in the tiburon is a good drive and the other guys aren't as good. and feel that they didn't need to improve their skills since they already drive a quick car (for import standards). but for people like me who drive slower cars, we are forced to drive better to catch up to the other guys. and of course HP isn't everything. i think power delievery and gear ratios matter more then just pure out HP.

Yeah there is a lot, a lot of horrible drivers out there. When I first got my Z and I had my exhaust done, it draws a lot of attention because it is so frikin' loud. Well this guy in a 95-96 Mustang GT 4.6 goes to racing me. We raced about 6 times down Baymeadows road at 1:30. I took him 5 out of the 6! He should have worked me! I just don't understand?!

[TatII]

thank you demon ZX i rest my case. you can't really tell which car is faster ont he street becusae the skill level just varies soo much.

Well, I can see most of those cars having the potential to be driven very poorly, but one of the many great things about the 1.8T is it's immense low end torque(for it's displacement ).

It's hard to fuck up shifts of that engine... it just keeps pulling..

[DemonZX]

I can agree with Cbass on that, I have driven many Audi 1.8t's and they do have great high end! When I thought the power would slack it just kept going. Great engines!

[Cbass]

Yes, the engine is built with all of VW's modern goodies, but still built to the tried formula of the Audi 3B 5 cylinder. A high static compression ration of 9.3:1, and an undersquare bore, resulting in very good low end torque. With the free breathing 5 valve per cylinder head, it has lot's of high end potential, as much boost as your turbo can supply. Add forged internals to the mix, and you have a strong engine with LOTS of potential.

So are maximas...now, im not sayin korean cars are nice...nor are they fast by any means (im saying this, an i am korean). but if u are going to make a broad statement like that, then so will i. MAXIMAS ARE SLOW AS POOP.

why don't you haul you and your slaccura down to central california, and I'll show you just how "slow" maximas are.:finger: :finger: :finger:

[KrNxRaCer00]

with those mod's i'd race u. if ur tryin to sound like ur gonna stomp me, then ur WAY off. u wanna call it a slaccura? alrite, go ahead, but when u get ur ass handed to u by one, then u'll eat ur words. same with me when i lose to a maxima. but if u wanna start a flaming war, then i'll end it rite now. til u race an integra w/ a normal driver w/ some mods, an beat him, don't talk. and til i beat a maxima with ur mods, then i'll quit. fair enough? cuz talking trash over the net isn't gonna get either of us ANYwhere. peace:finger:

[TatII]

awww that was sooo sweet. i've never seen two people resolve conflicts this nicely before. well done:smoka:

I don't understand that that generation Gt's had only 230 hp and 290 torque the 300zx has about 320 hp and torque i belive its normal that you beat him.

[DemonZX]

No no! I have an n/a Z. Not a twin turbo. Modified yes, but not a Twin Turbo.

I believe you ignited the flame by saying maximas are slow as poop. And I wasn't flaming, I was making an offer:finger:
