oh and lemme know like not off the line, but down in the 100mph + zone

[GOD]

I'm gonna have to go with the 5sp lude over ur max and this isn't b/c i own a honda it's b/c he's gonna spank you off the line ....and 1/4 i dunno about top end I think they top out at 139mph right around there . Oh about the 100mph area ....I'm thinkin he's got you beat

lol SLUT bars?????? haha j/k I know what you are talking about. Ummm I think with your mods it would be a close race, but I'd give the slight edge to the prelude, I dunno though, cuz I own a 2000, not a '97.

i think u`ll win da race with mobile one in ur engine.....i raced my 99` auto se against a 2000 prelude type SH.....i wasted him....anda..he`s got muffler and maybe intake....i think from the sound it makes.....
.......my engine is in perfect condition...so i can take on n e prelude with not much power mods

Sexima it depends on the person too. Just becuase someone has a faster car doesnt mean they win all the time.

Automagic Maxima's = Slow :bathroom:

Manual Maxima's = FAST & Torquey :licker:

i'm sorry but the prelude will kill........ the 0-60mph times for both your cars are like a second apart, that is a hell of alot. Plus the prelude is more designed to keep pulling, since it's a more sporty car. The auto Maxima wasn't meant to go fast, and they don't seem to be very receptive to mods

Put a stock 5spd 4th Gen Max against a stock 2001 Type SH prelude, and the max will easily beat it off the line and gradually win. (Honda's=No torque :bathroom: ) Put an automagic against it, and I would still put my $ on the Max. (If it was a '95 that is :silly2: ). Only in a straight line though, in the twisties, a prelude would be the victor easily. (were talkin STOCK here)

Owning a '95 SE Automagic Maxima, I know for a fact that they are NOT slow. 0-60 7.2-7.5 and 1/4th mid 15's to 16.0.

Don Cooper is running a 4th gen automatic with tranny work and a 100-shot of NOS and that's it (I think, besides lightening) And he's running LOW 12's and breaking in the 11's soon. Go tell him automatic Maxima's are slow.

i have no doubt that a stock 5th gen prelude will kill an auto maxima, in twisties or straight. The stats for an auto maxima are high 7s like 7.8s

[Craig Mack]

I'm sure you'd know since you own one right.

Times differ from 95-99 for the auto max. '95 was the fastest of them all. A 95 acheives a mid-low 7 second time, belive me or not. I should know since I own one.

The 2000 Maxima's get a time of 7.8. That's probubly what you read. It's becuase they are governed and do not redline. The 4th gens, do however.

Now put a 5spd max in the equation, and it's all over.

[Morpheus XIII]

Maxima. There's a simple explanation why. The extra 2 cylinders. I don't think I've ever come across a 4-banger which beat a V-6 without a turbo, at reckelss speeds. Inline-fours just cannot provide the natural torque available at 100mph+ speeds. Even before that, you can easily notice that simple air resistance catches onto the featherweight Hondas. Especially at that speed auto makes no difference since all the gearshifting is over and done with. Of course the Honda will take care of the Nissan at low speeds, but what lightweight can't?

i.e. It's fun watching my buds in their GS-R and SC300 cream each other, depending on speed... The Integra gets the kickstart, but fades away into the background when approaching about 65 mph.

no the time i read for was for the 96 Maxima.. high 7s
I thought the 2000s were faster since they have 240hp

Well you read wrong.

The 2k's and the 2k1 Maxima's had either a 222HP engine. (A 227hp was available for the 2k anniversary edition.)

Funny that H22A is the torquy 4 cylinder engine Honda offers.
