Integra VS Maxima

IntegraB16 · #1 03-02-2005, 02:18 PM

Ok.. I'm sure this question has been asked before. But i am unable to locate the answer, so i will just ask again. I have an integra with a B16, full exhaust, intake, MSD, and a JUN racing ECU. It weighs in at 2500 with me not in it. My friend has a stock 95 maxima (222 hp) it weighs about 3100. Who do you think would win in a race? im talking a freeway race, to about 120 or so. Thanks

Why don't you guys just race? Run one off the line, one when you're cruising(35mph) and one on the freeway...

Neither of you will win. Especially if you're racing to 120mph on a highway, there's more of a chance you both of you to lose as well as others. Going that fast is just plain stupid, keep it at the track. At the very least don't do it for the other people on the road. If you or your friend crash and die then oh well, but don't put other motorists in that situation. Don't be a dumbass.

ok Mr. CivicSpoon.. if you don't want me to race on the freeway, then atleast answer my question. Theoretically if we were race on the freeway ( because we would not be able to get to thoes speeds on the track) who do you think might win? if I am going to honor your request and not endanger lives, then you can honor my question.

I think it would be a drivers race. The maxima should have only 190hp; the GXE, GLE, and SE should have the same hp (but I could be wrong). So with your motor and bolt-ons (and lower weight) you should be able to beat him. Your engines ability to rev higher should also help you at the top end. But if he's a better driver than you then he'll win, but not by much. If you're a better driver or you're both at the same driving level, then you should win.

I know that my 98 GSR, with AEM CAI rips apart a 95 series maxima. Really badly from a start or rolling at about 35. I have played with a 2003+ maxima with the 3.5L engine, and It was really slow on the highway... so are the new 350z's.... They are really fast off the line, I imagine because of large fat tires and RWD (350z's), but they really suffer on the top end, specially after they get forced into third gear around 60 or so. The one that I raced was slow around 75mph. Anyway, I'm not sure with your engine, but I hope my experience can give you a perspective.

My buddy's 94 Integra LS is really fast, and I'd say that any well-kept Integra would smoke a Maxima. He's got an Injen intake, Borla (I think) 3 inch chrome exhaust. That should add about 10 BHP. And I assume you have the Integra coupe. Right off the line, you would be in the lead, thats if your a fast shifter. And CivicSpoon, sure street racing is dangerous, but thats what makes it fun, it seperates the boys from the men. So street racing is somthing you have to do to like. So anyways, you'd own him in a race.

Or separates the intelligent from the reckless. Let's see...

Street racing: Don't go to the track as much, all the tickets, suspended/revoked license, car impounded (some states), insurance hike (from tickets and/or once suspended license), accident and damaging your car, accident w/serious injury to you or other vehicle, accident w/death for you or passenger or other car, feeling that you're a man.

Not Street Racing: Have to spend more $ to get into the local track frequently, not as many tickets, not as much accidents that you've caused, insurance stays the same or get's cheaper, don't have to deal with killing someone for the rest of your life, being ridiculed by being called a boy.

I like having my license, not having to pay for tickets, and having a great insurance rate. I've also never been in an accident in my life (with or without me driving). But the thing is, you're not supposed to worry about your own driving, you're supposed to be worried about the people around you driving. Most people are just flat out shitty drivers. Everyone has experienced getting cut off, having to swerve when some one in front of you slams on their brakes, seen people change lanes without even looking, or seen people change lanes without a blinker light. I don't care how good of a driver you are, it only takes one shitty driver to cause you to be in an accident. And it's hard as hell to see how fast someone is going behind you in the next lane. My friend was driving a few of us around, on the highway, going 144mph and some lady goes right into his lane before an exit. My friend had to slam on the brakes (which we both felt immediately give way) and came about half a foot from destroying both cars. Now he is a good driver, but he's reckless as hell. But something like this could happen at any speed, but a high rate of speed just makes things 100X worse.

Tracks are a way better idea anyways. Not that I've even ever raced my car, but I've gone with my friends (I'm not going to pretend that I have, I'm going to be honest). But there are far more different choices of cars to race at a track. You get american cars, european cars, and japanese cars; all in different ¼ ranges. And no tickets and safety. Most places I've been to were pretty damn expensive though, even just getting in to watch. But hey it's everyone's own opinions. I just think there are better ways to do things than have to deal with the other issues.

My little brother was killed when he was hit by a car street racing. If you want to kill yourself that's what guns are for, but don't endanger the lives of innocent people like my bother. So please grow a brain and keep it on the track.

In response to CivicSPoon and 97IntegraLS:

C.S:That makes complete sense and your right. But the thing is, we dont have any good tracks here in Minnesota. Unless you want to drive two hours north of Minneapolis (where I live) there is a 1/4 mile dirt oval track, not good for a ricer.

97:Sorry about your brother, if that happened to my brother, I'd be the same way. Again, we have a track that isnt even paved.

We arent going to some small town to race a dirt track. So where are we gonna race? The streets are the only place left to do it. But you gotta remember, Im not the one racing, my friend is. Im just along for the ride. And, yes, I know its not safe. But its fun.

NOWHERE TO RACE? DON'T RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY SIMPLE CONCEPT

IntegraB16 · #14 03-03-2005, 11:33 AM

one thing i think that a lot of people are not thinking about here is the fact that not everyone races on busy roads. I barely ever race where it would endanger anyone buy myself and maybe the other driver. Around here where i live.. we wiat until atleast 11:00pm then go out of town to a long strait stretch and race until we get bored and go home. No other people around but us street racers who all know the risks and are willing to take them. No "Innocent" motorists. I don't see a problem with it. I understand where everyone is comming from. Yes it is dumb to race with other cars around. I too have had someone pull infront on me. It sucked. So now i keep it out of town where no one else is, but the other racers. So to all of you that dont have a place to race.. just wait until the wee hours when most people are in bed and go race when no one is going to be endangered.

these are the two cars i was torn between before i just bought the integra. except a maxima doesn't run 220. if you are luck enough to find a maxima se with a stick (i was looking at a couple of them) then you get a little more horse then the gle gxe and a little more dressed up motor. I would have rather had the power of the maxima 6 cyls, but i ended up getting the integra cuz well, its an acura end of story. to the original poster of this thread. if your integra has intake and exhaust he won't be keeping up with you, that nissan 6cyl just can't scream like the teg.
