Which car would you choose, and Why?

If you had the choice:

2k3 Max-Turbo/FWD

2k4 Max-Turbo/RWD (yes, it doesn't exist)

2k3 Altima-Turbo/FWD (ok already, it fantasy but, which one)

SPECV-Turbo/AWD (same here we know it doesn't exist, yet)

2k3 Max-SC/AWD

2k4 Max-SC/RWD

2k3 Altima-SC/FWD

SPECV-SC/AWD

It's all fantasy but given a choice what would you pick, let's say if they offered it today and would give you a great deal on your trade in?

2k3 turbo RWD.

AWD = massive loss of HP at the wheels and 100's of pounds of extra weight.

Oh and throw in one of those fancy graphite/composite driveshafts as well.

With a turbo running at 15 PSI or so, you're going to want all the traction you can get in a 3.5L engine. The weight addition is moot.

Hundreds of lbs? no.

A Hundred lbs? More like it.

Look at the Eclipse GS-T and the GSX. The GSX is a faster car regardless of the weight. All you need is a boost controller and you'll just spin the wheels on a FWD Eclipse. No so with an AWD car, well, you can spin all four wheels, but you'll need to make some serious internal engine mods. With well over 300 HP, 100lbs makes little difference.

Iffin your talkin FWD vs AWD I totally agree. RWD vs AWD - I'll take the RWD - with a spiffy light weight driveshaft too (since we are talking fantasy anyway). You won't have wheel spin issue on the RWD anything like the FWD - so to me unless you have 400+ HP, you don't need anything more than RWD.

If the argument is FWD vs AWD I agree AWD is better. But its overkill, overweight and unnecessary, and redundant and all that good stuff. - if you can just get RWD.

I guess you've never done a burnout in a RWD car then.

Hahaha, that's very funny besides I work all the time, just not when I'm at play anywayz check out the time I started this thread that will tell you something but now I'm at work and it's 17:40 Military Eastern Standard Time (EST) and my boss is still here so I'm typing very softly so she won't hear me, shshshshsh be quiet I think I hear her wings flapping.


Anyway that 97 is nice and I'm sorry I didn't add it to the last for all you 4th gen lovers. I know this guy here has a nice black 97 SE but I can't get him to sell it to me, eventually I will wear him down though and he'll give in. Pray for me to get a good deal on it and if I do I will get a custom Turbo for that biatch.

700hp Maxima man you sick for even thinking that, I'm having lustful thoughts of me smoking Vipers on the highway.:smoker2:

2k4 Max-Turbo/RWD (yes, it doesn't exist)
the 2004 Max is huge and ugly so I'll pass. I would much rather pickup a G35 and turbo that

now a 2k3 Max-SC/AWD sounds much better. it will be unrealiable as all hell but it would kick ass when it runs right, just need to change the front-end and make it look good for once :finger:
