I agree with you although some people who dont know too much were saying a 222hp maxima was faster.


mad max 98:
If you read the forum of the V6 Altima vs the Maxima, they state in there its impossible for a heavier car with less hp to beat a car with more hp, so if you think about what those genious' said, its impossible for you to beat your supervisors car because he has more HP, and a tad bit more weight,

It depends on what type of race you have against him, if it is from a standstill you should be able to take him, not easily as some may make it sound.
If it is from a roll you'll probably have your @$$ handed to you, that's the truth and anyone who knows about this will tell you the same.

Regardless of the heavier/hp car crap, it means diddly here because you are in essence racing the same engine so it'll mostly come down to the driver and how well he knows how to launch or go from a roll.
The differences in speed is not that great and it isn't a big advantage on either end.

This is a totally biased fact, not like others who favor certain cars because they want so bad to justify that any car can beat a 222hp auto max just because their's can't.

a 5th gen w/ vq30 is 200 lbs heavier than a 4th gen. i think from light to light it'd be the 4th gen. If the race went into or past 4th gear i'd say the 5th gen would win

ok guys heres what i'm thinking , i have 98 auto dynos 155hp stock plus prcai and a muffler that about 160hp, his car dynos about 185hp and he's stock so thats 25 hp difference but he is heavier by about 250 lbs at least because he has the gle version and his tranny is heavier than mine so f u take in consideration the 1/10 rule which is 10 hp for every 100 lbs , i think its about even keep in mind that 2000 engine dynos that much after the vi kicks in not before so i peak before him and i launch alot better than him hes a kind of older and he isn't that mean to his car so i think i have a good chane, what u think

I agree with the statement that it's a driver's race.
If you win you get bragging rights
if he wins, who cares?
next time put a turbo without telling him and then wipe that smirk off his face!!

but seriously, there is a slight chance you would win, but you will never know unless you try
so race the dude, if he happens to kick your ass just say at least it was to another maxima.
but that's my opinion

ok, stock vs. stock, a 4th gen is faster than a 5th gen, at least to 60, by a tick or so...now add on the fact that you are modded and that he has a GLE with extra weight, and that puts you at even more of an advantage. just go for it

yeah, but for the ten-millionth fucking time, asshole. when you take the weight of the car into consideration it's a lot more comparable than your shit mobile and a 4th gen

that looks like a car that runs an 9 second 0-60 and is driven by a very confused young man who thinks that's a good time.
your car definitely ain't 10x nicer, but i'll bet it's about 2x slower.
