got beat by an SE-R, what the hell?
Well not really, but still those things are ufking fast.
To make a long, stupid story short, wound up on I-80 at like 1:30 last night, and went to pass an SE-R, with an exhaust, bodykit, rims, etc. Looked like the guy had traded in his civic for a sentra and stripped the rice from the civic and put it on the sentra. Anyway, i passed him, then he tried to overtake me, and i brought it up to 90, just to see if he'd go after me, then realized i didn't have the radar detector plugged in. Slowed down, let him blow past me, got in the right lane, saw his hazards go on.
really p1ssed me off.
The thing that got me though, is i went from like 40 to 80 really quickly, and for a couple of seconds had him at one car length. then, it was like the max just ran outta power at 90, and he was still pulling.
I definitely need to get my Y-pipe.

those se-r's modded properly are real beefy and if its an older se-r with the sr they could have definately had it turbocharged with a swapped in bluebird fwd sr20det even the n/a sr's have good top end power coupled with good mods and a good driver they can run anywhere in the 14's the fact that ur an auto doesnt help either

i did not know you are an auto. Sorry, you'd get most likely get walked.
The 91-92.5 with the high port head and aggressive intake cam have almost identical 0-60 and 1/4 mi. times as the 5spd maxima. The 93- are a little different and slower.

Yada yada ya, Maxima's suck unless you mod the crap out of them.
Y-pipe & Intake will enable you only to hang with the croud, Exhaust, FlyWheel, UDP, and Blower, will make you competition for the croud.
Dude, I street race everday, If you're like me than I suggest you do the Drop Resister mod and a Turbo
.
I installed the Drop Resister mod and my car shifts into third gear at 75mph, Its a gret mod with one draw back, your service engine soon light will turn on every time you use it. It doesn't hurt the engine or car at all though. Its a really cool inexpensive mod, about 10 bucks to do. Ask GoalieKeg about it if your interested he could hook you up with the information on how to do it.

Yes, when it was first produced it was bad a$$ period
and the 2000 had more hp, but they were also heavier and not as quick as the 4th gens

Geez...cars and engines get more powerful every year, and back when the 4th gen was released there was not much that could touch it.

I'm actually just putting the finishing touches on an article that talks about this. Maybe after reading, you'll appreciate your car a little bit more.

Here's an oldie but goodie.
That's right, a weak and outdated 95-99 Maxima 5spd has a BETTER thrust to weight ratio than a "state of the art" 260 HP Acura CL-S auto at anything below 5200 rpm (99% of daily driving). And wow, the cars are even capable of the same general 1/4 mile times stock too! High-14's to low-15's.

1. It was a 2000+ SE-R, no old school ish.
2.
Saying that something sucks is relative. Does it suck as far as performance? reliability? resale value? And, as far as our statement, it leads it's class in all of these aspects. Minor Point: The maxima is still a 5-person sedan. how does it compare to other vehicles in it's class? (ie camry, galant/millenia, Accord) It smokes the camry and mazda(s), and gives the accord a good run. How will it run against a ferrari? Well, then i guess you could say it sucks.
3.
oh is that all? Let me borrow $3500, then i could street race everyday, just like you. Do you race against vin diesel and Ja rule? considering that neither one of them has done anything worthwhile recently, they should have more than enough time to go street racing with you after school. 
4.
At that point why not wish for 8-cylinders? That way, we could totally destroy these 4-cylinder punks, AND compete with the lexus GSs and Caddilic STS/CTS
5. Yes, OD was off, having an auto sucks all the time except for those long stop-and-go rides home from work, and as far as that one dude that was talking about the SE-r's sports suspension: Afriend of mine has a 99 Sentra GXE which handles better than my max. Hell, my tempo handled better than my max.

Yada yada ya, Maxima's suck unless you mod the crap out of them.
if you drive a 4th gen, your car is between 5 and 9 years old... some of you take that fact for granted.
comparing a 4th gen maxima to a brand new car is apples to oranges, and even knowing that fact, there's still plenty of brand new cars that the 4th gen keeps up with and/or outperforms.
honda drivers spend $24,000 on their '03 RSX type S that has trouble keeping up with our 4th gens that probably cost you 6 grand when you bought it used last year.
so what the hell are you complaining about? pit a '96 maxima against a '96 integra and see what happens.
you get my idea. put things into correct perspective before you complain about your car, and if you don't like your maxima, sell it. we'd rather not have you driving one if you don't take at least some pride in it.

"a FWD car that weights 3000 lbs+ will never become a TRUE sportscar. period." yes i have to admit our VQ30DE is reliable and smooth. it also has decent amount of torque across the powerband. sure you can go ahead force inducted, but very few people are in the 11-12s. even if they arein 11-12s, think about how much money, time, and effort they put into it. in addition our car also does not handle too well.
i'm not trying to bash our max, just a state of reality. be happy and appreciate what you have and all the hardwork you put into modding and understanding your car. just remember... there's always a faster car out there.

does the fact that it is six speed have anything to do with the reason he got you after 90???, im not sure but it musta ben modded because i thought the new se-r's weren't to fast. And there is a few turbo older ones i always see in ct especialy on the pike, i know they can roast me so dont sleep people.
