Thumbs up Driving the new Maxima's

Hey guys I don't post much ,but I have to tell ya this car is GREAT!!!. I work at the Nissan plant in Smyrna.Last night I went out and spent the night driving Maxima's on there test track all night.The power they have just blowed me away.Punch the gas from a rolling start at the tires just break loose.I got one 6 speed to drive and that thing was plain scarry the power it had.I
I have to say if I was in the market for a car there would be no question what it would be.If you haven't driven one give yourself a treat and go now.

Yeah, My dad has one and oh yea they get up and go. I love it. He's got the automatic though. Oh well, just as nice. Do you know any top speed numbers or 1/4 mile times? Just wondering.

Yeah they are nice cars, no doubt. We are about to run a trial on the 2005 Altima with the Maxima engine in it. I wouldn't mind driving that one off the line, and onto the test track.

I thought the main difference in Altima and Maxima VQ35s was the computer programming?

I have the 04 Maxima with 6 speed stick and I have to agree it is awesome. It is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

It is. However, the Altima's VG35 is governed down, because of the Altima's weight compared to the Maxima's. They still have about the same 245 HP.

Altima - 3,246 Curb weight
Maxima - 3,478 Curb weight

NNA, I just went from the 02 Alti SE, which I really liked, to the 04 Max SE 6 speed which I believe is the finest vehicle I have owned so far. There are very noticable differences and I won`t elaborate, that why it cost more, I guess. I only wish the Max had a bar grill like the G35.

Yeah, the '04's would look better with a different grille. I really miss the look of the low fog-lights too...

Anyway I can bring my '02 SE to Smyrna for a little track time?

I wish I was closer to do the same.

There will be more grills on the market(soon I hope) JMS and Trenz and Mossy, which is a Trenz with a hamburger in the center, are the only ones so far, I believe. I`m hoping more become available.

Yeah, but they are all ugly, IMO. Nobody does a bar-grille, they do mesh instead....

Mesh seems to be the only act in town so far. I like the G35 grill and hope someone will pick up on it and make one for the new Max.
