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.

What's the the rice out statement? Which car comes with altezza rear lights stock?

The only way you should consider LS is if you are going turbocharging.

............. moron

Here we go again with these bogus #'s. First of all, the Max is pretty light for it's catogory. Around 3000lbs. for the '95 GXE. (baseline)

And AGAIN 7.8 is for the 2k Auto's becuase they are fatter and don't redline. (revvs limited at 5600 i think)

The '95-99 Maxima automagics will do 0-60 in around 7.3-7.6, depending on the year/trim/track conditions.

The '95-99 Maxima Manuals will do 0-60 in around 6.5-6.9, dependin on year/trim/track conditions.

Yes, the Maxima's suspension is rather cheep, but with some strut bars, springs/shocks/struts, wider tires, it can handle damn good. The integra's just came that way from the factory becuase it's a different type of car.

Personally I love having a car that's somewhat of a sleeper to unknowledgeable people that has the power, and ROOM to haul 6 of your friends and their mothers luggage around in.

I've got a '99 5-speed SE and I really don't think they are the fast. The brand new ones a probobly down there but I woudl say more like 7 or so.

Lets seee I think I'll go Maxima if I had a choice. Not saying it would outrun an Acc but between the two the Maxima is definately in a much higher class!

Moving to Car Comparisons. I don't know why it lasted this long without being moved. Sorry.

[CanadianG]

the acc get roasted!

[blatch]

i think a gsr will smoke the pants of a maxima....

[CanadianG]

Im not contesting that the GSR wouldn't out run a Maxima. What Im sayin is that a Maxima is more of a car than a 'Teg.
Bigger engine
More trunik space
More interior space
and definately more $$$$
so if I was offered I'd definately choose and SE over a GSR without hesitation

integra being less of a car?????? well it just depends on if you want a 2 dr or 4 dr. dont buy a 2dr and whine about not having enough doors haha.

I posted that response over summer under Nickkzx.....haha boy am I glad I didnt get a lousy integra =)

They are slow and uncomfortable, I would take a maxima anyday, especially an 02 with 255HP

[M-type]

is that why u got a 97? haha hey i live near orange, maybe i'll see you on the street and teach you a lesson or two.

[JBL85]

I run bone stock....drag racing is pure pointless, its all about how much money you drop into your motor....but dont race my maxima....race some of the guys that do a few mods w/mnaul transmission.....the maxima is such a stronger/better/more powerful/nicer looking car then your little gsr

[M-type]

hey keep telling yourself that when you go to sleep, maybe it might come true. by the way i've already taught those guys. peace!

[JBL85]

sure thing buddy......whatever makes you feel all warm and tingley inside
