And honestly, 5.7-5.8 isn't THAT bad for a 4 door car with 5 seats, Nav, Leather, Bose, heated and cooled seats, and a full glass roof (for under $35k)

Agreed, funny how most manual Z drivers on the street could probably barely match that time....Max is much much closer to Z in acceleration than a Fit at (8.2 sec to 60 @ 83.3 mph in 1/4 for the 5spd manual) can dream of being close to a Max. Cracks me up

ive seen it too many times. they crack me up.

Well, now it's not stock for stock with grippy tires. But yeah, the Maxima isn't 100% tailored to sports car enthusiasts.
Although my '09 had a CAI (more like a WAI) and a car delete y-pipe (Maxima has 3). And the 2013 will have the same mods soon as well as probably a plenum spacer, and I already have a Stillen UD pulley for it.

The acceleration of the Maxima is as good as it is due to CVT, it allows you to stay on peak power all the time. But the biggest disadvantages weight, you can't dyno it properly, it can't take much more than 300HP, and I BET the loss to WHP is worse than on a regular AT

Yuup, I know. Very verse on Maxima's as I am with Z's, have had several of each and like them both.
