Quality wise I would agree right there. Looks wise, well Maxima didnt win 2002 Car of the Year, that was the Altima. Personally I like the Maxima, it looks a little better, unfortunatley, most chicks dig my Altima more then a Maxima so thats why I dont complaim about it. Speed wise, well keep in mind the 7 gear box in the Maxima weighs more then the 6 gear box in the Altima. I know its got shorter gearing, but the Altima has a very good 5 speed.

You are right the Altima is a better looking car, that is why Nissan was smart enough to take the good looking Altima and put it with the best V6 in the world and made the 2002 car of the year because of that combo.

My experience is that "chicks" dig expensive cars - they dont give a rats crap for performance. I have a bud who the girls drool over his G35 even tho I can smoke his ass performance wise. Both our cars are black on vblack leather, blah dee blah - almost exact same cars - but the infinity badge wins (in in the parking lot only) Chicks like $$'S guys like performance.

Furthermore its funny that we are now debating whether a 3.5 altima can beat a max (it cant) whereas the thread started out as a 2.5 altima beating a max - hmmm the altimas keep getting more powerful and the maximas keep beating them ..... coincidence??

I'm with you on this one Nick, I've driven both of them and the G is a bit quicker plus with the RWD you don't get all of that wasted wheelspin like you do in a Max.

This guy needs to stop smoking crack.

First off - don't you EVER suggest taking my crack away!!

Secondly:

Step 1: take the same engine with the same horsepower...

Step 2: put that engine in an automatic sedan that weighs 300 pounds more than car #2

Step 3: put that engine in a manual sedan that weighs 300 pounds less than car #1

I smoke crack - AND I smoke G35's. Oh yeah and the only wheelspin I ever have is a little chirp shifting from 1st-2nd, and thats ONLY when I want it too. Go get yourself 23 years of experience driving manual transmission vehicles - and then go tell some friggin noob about wheelspin - don't bring that shiet in here.

not to mention you're sending the same horsepower to the rear wheels so there's gonna be more power loss

That is logical thinking since RWD loss is greater by about 10 percent. Keep in mind you can launch one much harder then a fwd car as mentioned by b2kmax. A car like a MR2 with R/R can beat an Integra GSR with F/F because it can get power to the ground without losing it, same with the Infiniti (keep in mind I am talking the 6speed version) and Maxima.

[Paonessa]

an mr2 is mid engine, rear wheel drive (hence the MR in MR2) and my friend has a 92 N/A one that's slow. i understand what you're saying though. if you're used to launching a ff i don't think it'll matter. my car can beat a 300zx. it's a similar comparison

[99maxse]

well its sad but girls do like the guys w/the sweet rides. trust me girls dig my maxima,but when i take out my mother`s benz its no hold bar :silly2: . we really have a shallow society... its sad

[StimpsonJCat]

Its not really as shallow as you think - when a chick sees a nice ride she sees money. Money means security - women like security. Ya some women like just the money but most the motivation is the security - and men misinterpret it as "she digs my money."

Cool I just wrote a post that doesn't involve proving that an altima can't beat a maxima.....

FYI, I have over 25 years of driving a stick and the crack comment was only a joke no harm meant (stick around here long enough and you'll get to know me better) anyway I haven't met anyone other than you that says that you can smoke a G with your 2k3 Max, everyone else says that they lose or have lost all the time when trying to race.
Maybe they're just not as good as you are with a stick or maybe you have one of those freak cars.
Anyway lose the anger and laugh a lil when someone cracks on you here, I don't think anyone really has any bad intentions.
Peace out

i think after this thread it makes u feel like you are on crack..:silly2:
