Hey
Remember the Maxima has the Best V6 ever created, the M3 has a good Inline 6, I dont know the weight of the M3 but I know that little Thing is fast, remember its not a 1/4 mile race, it was on the highway, the Maxima shines at around the triple digits, but an inline 6 from a BMW also does. With your mods your High end power should be Super High, there is no way of telling if he was flooring it unless you heard his engine, if you guys have been to any races you will realize that even the smallest of a headstart could determine the outcome of everything. Personally I would take a Maxima over a M3, I could use the money I saved and have a 12 second Maxima with full luxory and everything the M3 Has and a lot of cash still left over,

don't compare 1/4 mile times with an M3, a maxima will never be what an M3 is so don't kid yourself. who would buy a bentley if it was all about speed? the M3's rwd, 50/50 weight distribution, handling (comfy and versatile), raw power upon demand, smooth transmission, and what most people like...status.

there are more, but thats just what comes to mind right now.
even with the 3.5L V6, the max has low output compared to the 350Z and G35.

Putting tons of performance mods and a V8 motor in a Neon doesn't make it a better car. Just an analogy.
