Is there any vette's with comparable power to a maxima?

[nzelinsky]

Is there any corvette's that are close power to a maxima? I saw one that didnt really seem fast it was a newer model, but not that new... I dont know any corvette models and it didnt have any badging so I couldnt tell what it was.

I guess English is a second language in Alberta.

You just hate America.

What a weird question. C4 vettes are as slow as maximas...C5 and above will annihilate us.

Ok, In right lane, HUGE SIGN Merge Right lane ends, Does this dictate that you stay in the left lane and speed up to pass ppl on the right or run you off the road ? god the goddamn thread says whats your pet peves, it dont say Lets make fun of what other ppl have, lets make fun of there mods, lets make fun of there tint because the cops are asses and i cant use darker, lets make fun of his stereo because its better then mine, This is why i HATE PPL like you, THat is my Fing pet peve, PPL like you who have to try to always one up the other, ppl like you who need to grow up . I was in the right, i was going the speed limit, The prick speed up in front of me and nearly hit me just so he can fly into the goddamn beer store and get garbage beer because he was cooler then everyone else.F**K YOU PISS ME OFF! I hate everything, I Hate your wheels i hate your engine i hate your headlights i hate everything you ever achived i hate you for being alive i hate you for replying to my post in such a ******* way i hate how you all think your better then everyone else because you hide behind a monitor, I hate you for probally banning me because iam right,i hate it all and i dont care what you say because i hate that to.OH and for your INFO, its 50% MIRROR tint.

Really.

[maxspeed96CT]

Any corvette years 99 or newer will destroy any mild modded maxima .

unless your boosted or have a huge nitrous shot, no your maxima cant keep up.

You could of been racing while the guy was just crusing in 6th gear.

They're probably marginally faster in a quarter mile but I guarantee most of that is getting off the line. I've ran 3 or 4 and each time I was put in the rear view at the line, but I eventually caught up. The one I ran on the interstate was dead even.

fixed
and the LT5 C4s will just embarrass a maxima

Original '53 and '54 C1s with the straight 6, the C3s made in the smog crisis 70s and maybe the tired out $2000 L98 C4.

Or you could have pulled up the wikipedia page in 3 seconds, but why go to all that trouble?

Anything with an LT1, LT4 or LT5 will probably smoke you, even stock.

i'd still take a 150hp Blue Flame over a 1000hp Maxima any damn day

i can GUARANTEE the LT5 would smoke a mildly modded maxima

your maxima would be faster maybe 0 to 10 mph if the vette just takes of at 600 rpms without dumping the clutch ..

maybe a early 90s vette you would give it a good run, but other then that you have no chance man..

sorry

If you put one in your rear view off the line its cause they guy gave you a head start just to blow by you. lol

Well no shit, but the LT5 is sort of cheating. I was more concerned with an LT1.

He was saying that the vette took him off the line and he caught up.

the ZR-1 was an awesome car considering it had the gayest engine in the ugliest corvette

DOHC in a Corvette

I do believe it had zero torques

Thing hauled arse though

I dont care how fast a vette is, you couldnt give me one. That is just personally one car that I hate. I would rather have a yugo. A max might not be as fast but probably alot more comfortable.

[Cliff Clavin]

Are you talking about HP or track times (racing head-to-head)?

You can look through the listings of stock 1/4 mile times and figure out how you might fare against a stock Vette. The good thing is that most Vettes are kept stock. The bad thing is, most of them have huge potential to be much faster with some basic V8 mods.

If you are talking about stock vettes, those from 1970 to the mid 1980s run from low 14s to mid 16s, which is doable for almost any modded 4th or 5th gen Maxima. From then until the late 90s, most are in the low 13s, which only a few Maximas on this board have done. There are some models below that.

There are some smogged out mid 1970s Vettes if they are stock are SLOW. Like slow as an AT Maxima with no mods.

this thread has nothing to do with comfort. he simply asked if a maxima could beat one. Clearly if hes asking about racing comfort is not priority.

Im not a big vette fan either but i do love the ls series motors . Big fan of the camaro and the transam and the new C6 vette is nice to.

Id rather take a :s1 camaro over a vette and just put my extra money in the bank or into mods.

read the post again, you missed my point. The whole reason they're faster on paper is because they absolutely move off the line with a lot of grip and torque...it's up top where they run out of steam.

L98/LT1s maybe
LT5/LSx I hope you're joking

[choray911]

This thread is almost as stupid as the one where someone asked if the S7 was made in Italy. Ya'll need to drink some Lysol.

that turned into like a 300 page thread!

Comparable power?

Some of the early C1 vettes have 150-250 hp (same as Maxima).

There were a few similarly powered C3 ones in '73 after the smog beat-down.

Otherwise, no C2, pre-1973 C3, C4, or C5, or C6 has comparable power to a Maxima.

[bigleman]

C1 (BEAUTIFUL Tuxedo Black):


C2 (Split-window Sting Ray FTMFW):


C3 (drop in an LSx and it would be my favorite):


C4 (The ZR-1):


C5 (Z16):

Looks about the same as a maxima to me
