Nissan made other cars in 89-94 that would be considered an import sports car WAY before the Maxima ever would. 240SX, and others, for example. However, this topic has been covered time and time again. We all know what the Maxima is and what it could be. That isn't really the point...we're here because we like them.

Regardles, benstoked's point is very true....unless of course you take into account drag cars and even some race cars. An automatic with a high stall torque kit and shift point mapping software will be more effective on the track than the same car with a manual ever could be. Hydraulic valves with electronic servos are just faster than human reaction time in any situation.

conceded, and we forgot to mention
tiptronics and such... to many they are as fun as sticks, and have the advantage of the quickness of an auto.
(but i wasn't meaning to take away from true race cars, who need the advantages of a tuned auto to make consistent passes in a drag race, etc.)
besides, the douche who started this has logged off long ago...(
not the OP!!!
