can i beat a maxima

[wanna_be_dsmer]

sorry i know you guys hate bench racing but i think i can beat him. i have 1g dsm with intake and mbc at 15psi. the guy in the maxima(2004) it has 265hp at the flywheel and it weighs 3500 pounds say hes car would kill mine. because mines a four banger with 190hp stock and its a 92. tell me what you guys think.

me
1992 pylmouth laser awd 5 sp
k and n air filter
mbc 15psi
free mods

him
2004 nissan maxima automatic
stock 265 hp 3500 pounds

i think i should be able to take him from the dig but i dont know about the roll(40mph)



sorry for the bench racing please dont flame thanks bryan

If you have a mbc I take it you have the turbo model........if hes stock I think it will be close but race him and find out......the only real way...

[Ace$nyper]

You know bench racing is a no no yet still do it?

I'm going to say that you both bog your launches being gimps, ruining the trannies. You then have to call your mom and tell her you were street racing and need a ride home in the family mini van.

My bet is on the maxima, race and tell us the results though. Stock his car would do the quartermile almost a second faster than your car. Also 75 HP is a big difference, that difference in power is more than some cars had 25 years ago.

NO!!!! Impossible for you to win!!!


j/p, i have no idea, never driven either one, i just happen to like my car, so i hope the Max would win.

[clawhammer]

I think that you'd win. You probably weigh 500 pounds less, and at 15 psi, you're probably pushing close to 250 hp at the crank.

[209 SRT]

just race him already.......

3.5 maxima's are beastly on the top end. if both cars were stock i'd say he'd probably win, i had a buddy with a 92 laser turbo fwd and i'd hang neck and neck with him in my 95 maxima. seeing as how the laser makes like 11-12 psi stock i don't think 15 psi is gonna get you enough power to overcome a 75 hp advantage. but then again you're a lot lighter than he is. it's too hard to tell, that's why these types of threads are frowned upon.



OT:
yo 209 SRT, nice fuckin' bike dude.

[Underground_Killah]

race him..... that's the only way to really know

[Skyline_R32_Canada]

if stock you are pushing 11 psi and you bump it up to 15 psi that is good for at least 30-40 hp, plus your intake another 5 and you're lighter

i will say that if you both race from a dig you will take the jump and he will slowly inch away from you in the top end

When I used to run my turbo ford they said that each pound of boost was worth 6-8whp so 4 psi over stock is about 25 more to the ground.... roughly... that mught be 4/10's in your car, plus the intake may be good for another 1/10... You have a 5 speed, so if you can drive good thats an advantage but if the car is about a second faster than your stock for stock I'm pretty sure he'll get you. Probabaly by about 2 or 3 cars.....

[wanna_be_dsmer]

We where gonna race today buts its raining. Car and driver said that his car stock runs a 1/4 mile at 14.9 at 96mph(6 speed). on a maxima website they say there only gettting 220whp with CAI,y-pipe,full exaust, and pulleys. when my car was new it ran a 14.5 or so. 115,000 miles later im guess stock it would run 15.2-15.4?
me weighing 150lbs and him weighing 230-250lbs that would give me another 100lbs difference plus my interior is striped out from backseats back.

p.s. my stock boost peaks at 10psi

I have never seen a new 92 Laser claim a 14.5, I have always heard mid to low 15s. Also I always heard mid to upper 14s for the 6th gen 6 speeds.
