Maxima vs IS300
What do you guys think? A buddy has an IS300 and is pretty confident he can take an 01 Max. HP is pretty similar (215 vs 227) but the Lexus is a smaller car.

i think the manual will have no problem, the auto would be close.

I know someone who is Running an IS300. The same day we both decide to get 75 shot NOS systems. He has some UR Pully but no exhaust work, he has a Stillen intake. I am running a full exhuast, Stillen Y, Random Tech Cat, Greddy Cat-back and Stillen intake. We are both auto's. Should I be able to take him?

I drove an IS300 but it is no BMW !
A Maxima (4th-5th Gen) is a bit quicker. A 5-speed Max will walk it like a dog.... |

uh.. a 4th gen like '97 should have a tough time beating an IS300. The IS is 0-60 in low 7s right? and the Maxima (auto) is 0-60 in high 7s
The new Maxima should beat it though BUT watch out for the 5spd IS!!!!!

Careful, they say that a supra turbo fits. I've seen it done here in Chicago. She has more in store than most think.

ok
I'm saying Maxima'01 over a IS300 '01 simply cause the horsepower issue weather it be auto or manual Max. but in the '02 with the IS300 stick sorry the IS might just be able to take off

well the maxima SE has 255hp, goes 0-60mph in the high 6s i think
the IS300 has 215hp, and also does 0-60mph in the high 6s I think the IS is lighter, and it's looks sportier to me... the max is too family carish for me plus since it uses the supra N/A engine, it has sooooo many mod possibilities

Maxima vs. IS 300
The 0 to 60 time for the IS 300 is hight 7's and the
02 Maxima with automatic should be mid or high 6's. The 02 Maxima SE 6 -Speed will beat the IS bad. I know my 98 auto Maxima will beat the IS too.  |
