2002 Acura TL-S vs. 2002 Maxima SE 0 to 60?

[JBL85]

yeah I understand that....but I dont know anyone that thinks a maxima cool, everyone laughed at me when I drove mine to high school.......i mean of course they all shut up when I smoked them......but still......got nice comments like granny mobile and my grandpa has one and all those other jokes

[TatII]

JBL85 i dunno what kind of ricers you got in cali. but in nyc everyone knows that a max is fast and will smoke most honda if its a stick. when i say most i mean civics with the basic mods along with accords. even the ricers here knows not to underestimate the max

[JBL85]

No, its all kids with their civics adding up hp like oh I got intake and headers, thats a good 20hp....but whatever.....

I beat mainly civic Si's, Honda accords, Integras (not gsr obviously), the only thing that can take me out is the m3's and v8's (GT and SS) and the ITR and GSR (thats just in my school) On the streets I take out all 3 series bmw's

i wouldn't doubt it. i'll let you know if i ever get to race one. let's just hope that comes before i put this turbo on my lude.

[JBL85]

well, yeah you can beat a maxima, were they stick shift and modified? I havent lost to a Prelude yet

[TatII]

well Del i was defending it from you. i'm just stating that the people that JBL85 are very uneducated and only judge a car by its cover and popularity. most of my friends are honda boys and they all know that a manuel max will take out and stock manuel honda's well expect for the ITR, 2000 and the NSX.

[JBL85]

ok uneducated TatII, uhh, thats why maxima is a family sedan taking out hondas "sport injected" cars riiiiiight, anyhow the competition for the NSuX is the GTR which takes care of its business quiet fine. According to SCC, the GTR weighs more, has less power and beats the NSX on track, 1/4 and 0-60.....i am sure those 3 things judge a car quiet well.

[TatII]

JBL85 i didn't mean it that way. what i'm sayin is, i'm just statin to you how uneducated "some people" are. i didn't say you~ your a nissan fan, your like my bro cause of that man.

[JBL85]

Its ok, its just fun to discuss stuff and try and prove a point about cars when there is world hunger and people are starving and dieing a few thousand miles away.

[TatII]

true that~ damn that just makes us feel soo much better as people dont it?:smoka:

[JBL85]

well, look at ti this we way, we are guys, we like cars, we like fast cars, sooo obviously we have some edge for competitivness.....and it shows by us arguing about stuff.....and hey, its all for Shits and Grins right

[albert007]

I believe that the Acura tl-s is a much better car than the maxima. It is better balanced, the interior is much nicer. Granted it is more expensive, but no other car gives you so much for the price.

[joeB]

I think that the Maxima is alot nicer , and has a better interior.

Acutally the Maxima gives you more than any car for the money.

Its got a better engine too.
