There is a guy here at my work that drives a 05-06 maxima v6, I think its a 3.5L but I might be wrong, and he wants to race me. I have a 06' SS S/C w/ a CAI. Think I have a chance?

 

You should destroy him.

 

theres a video of an altima 3.5 pulling on a ss.sc with intake, he pulled the cobalt every single time from a stop, Maximas are heavier tho.

 

from a roll no problem

is he auto? if so he might jump on the dig but you will reel him in

(former maxima owner)

 

I have done the opposite with an Altima with a CAI and exhaust, 5 spd though. It's a drivers race between the SS/SC and Altima, not sure about the SE-R, so you should take the heavier Maxima if you can drive. If you lose send him my way!

 

You will loose against a 3.5L Altima but Im pretty sure the Maximas are heavier so IDK. When I first got my car I put an intake on it and raced a 3.5L Altima with exhaust and intake and the thing beat me by almost 2 cars.

 

Stock Maxima? The Q35 isn't weak, the Maxima is just a pig.

 

yea its stock, I think its an auto, but not sure. he "Said" to me that he beat this guy that has a 2000 Mustang GT that has a custom exhaust and is a 5-speed.

 

any v6 nissan is no joke. nissan is kinda crazy like that. their family cars are still pretty quick.

 

my brothers girlfriend had a 03 SE maxima and she hates it lol she wants a 05 Escalade but the maxima she says it quick and my brothers drivein it befor and he says its kinda quick.

 

its ****** slow, if u can drive worth **** u shouldnt have any problems.

 

I raced one and won. There 0-60 is about 6.4, off the line you would be about even, then just pull away from there.

 

why ask? just race and you shall find out.

 

What the hell......

What are some of you on?

A stock Maxima or Alitma won't beat a stock SS/SC.

 

Maxima owns all. Its a variant of the 350z motor so it can't be beat. Except by an Orange SRT4.

 

On a serious note I think a Altima SE-R would run with a stock Cobalt. A bit more Hp and a few hundred more punds but I bet it could run with a Stock SS/SC.

 

The Altima SE-R is no faster than a standard Altima with the V6.

I think people are forgeting what a stock SS/SC can do.

 

Hey, A friend of mine has a 02 maxima 3.5 6 speed and i raced him when I was all stock, and from a roll he got me because he took off first, but from a stop we were dead eaven, until mid third gear then I started pulling. He had one passanger though and I was alone. Go for it I hear the newer maximas are slower than the 02.

 

2004+ nissan maxima's have 265 HP and a very strong drive terrain, THEY ARE NOT SLOW, my mom and dad have one and i have taken to mokan dragway and ran a 14.7 1/4 mile, so the SS/SC should beat it, but be on your toes and dont bobble, the 04+ has the 350z motor with some more mild cams, 350z's can get LOW 14's with a good run. You should be ahead but its going to be close.

 

There is a difference. Its only about 10 hp but it is a difference. And if a 14.7 can be run with the Altima I think that is pretty close to what an all stock SS/SC would run. A little slower but not much.

 

i test drove an Altima SE-R and those are no joke. they might be heavy, but it got up and went. just dont miss a gear and youll be fine i think.

 

I read up on an SE-R, not sure which magazine, that ran a best 14.5@100 in their test runs. So if this is a consistent result it is right in the league of an SS/SC. You may win some, you may lose some. I will say this, as far as comparing the Altima to the Maxima. If I were to purchase one, I would go Maxima all the way. I know it cost more money but it is worth it in the overall appearance inside and out. Very nice car!

 

There are stock Altimas and Maximas that have ran faster times than any of us. So, what are you on???

 

I've been looking for some Altima/Maxima forums that have a database of timeslips and haven't found ****! Do you know of one? I'm interested in comparing the performance between our cars and the Nissans.

 

w3rd!!!

I hate looking up times for both cars.

I know motortrend pulled a 14.3 out of an altima 3.5s. And on the dragslip site there are a couple that have ran 14.1s. But yeah it is a pain to look up stuff for them.
