Default 04gt vs 3.5 maxima se

On my way to work this morning some putz in a maxima se (05) was raging through traffic, and slowing up speeding up through me. Well I said screw it. Got behind him at the next light. He punched it from the light and so did I. I pretty much pulled neck and neck with him around 60mph and I could see him pounding his steering wheel (like that's gonna make him go faster lol). About 85 mph I was a good 2 cars ahead of him. We both backed off because cops are horrible in this area. But I'm sooo proud of my lil pony

It has a slightly detuned version of the 350z's engine, is fwd, and probably a little heavier (but i'm not sure about that), so you do the math. The Maxima is a beast in its segment, but it's not a racer.

Maybe that was a luxry edition?

We had a 5th gen (about 00, had a 3.0) that abdolutely kicked *** on the autocross for a stock class.
