IMO most underrated car is the new Maxima. They will flat out hall.

That's very true. The new Maxima's are sleepers.

Hey all, I'm new here and I promise am not here to troll either. I have high respect for Mustangs too. Nearly gotan '01 GTbefore I changed my mind and got the GTP because of cheaper insurance and 4 doors.</P>


I think we're underestimated by the Stang crowd, but understandably so because there really are a large majority of the GTP's that are driven by the 40+ crowd and are bone stock. I can't for the life of me get any street races in this car unless I initiate them. Therefore, that's what I've had to do, initiate them.<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0"></P>


That's the frustrating part. However, when I do get races and I don't blow the launch, I tend to impressthe competition which makesme feel good. I now actually try to hunt Stang GT's down now to try to get in a run for the fun of it. Itusually makes for a great race. I find that many are quite surprised at the results (I haven't lost to one yet, but then again I haven't run into a heavily modified one yet either). Ran a '97 GT 5-speed the other day from 0-85 and by 85 I only had this guy's nose at my rear door.<IMG src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0"> He was lowered, had no exhaust tips showing at all, had aftermarket rims, and pods. That's all I know. I'd love to know what he had done to it to hang with me like he did though.<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"> If you're on this forum, speak up!</P>


Oh yea, and having FWD and lots of torque makes for VERY frustrating launches. It took so much practice for me to get the 2.051 - 60' in my sig.. It comes easy to some GTPers, but it took lots of practice for me. It's easy to go up in smoke once pullied if you hit it too hard out of the hole...</P>
