I dont think that really matters...all models have the same engine RogRacer 03-20-2003, 05:57 PM IIRC...didn't C&D just test an auto 530? I'm thinking it tested pretty quick...like 0-60 in 7 seconds or so. I think an auto maxima would be in the same range. Still, the maxima has more power and is lighter, so it might tend to pull a little after the 0-60 run. slickav 03-20-2003, 06:41 PM Originally posted by meeno I dont think that really matters...all models have the same engine Really? I thought there was a big power difference between the GXE and the SE. Boomer 03-20-2003, 08:07 PM yes there is like a 20-40 hp diffrence between the GXE and SE SE>GXE ofcourse, correct me if im wrong plz... slickav 03-21-2003, 12:29 AM Yeah SE is the top of the line[if you can call it that] and has the most power. RWE TexM3 03-21-2003, 03:24 AM Originally posted by Boomer yes there is like a 20-40 hp diffrence between the GXE and SE SE>GXE ofcourse, correct me if im wrong plz... na theres no difference in the engine...they all get the 255 hp the SE gets stiffer shocks and bigger wheels and a 6 spd..among other Sport-related things FrankW 03-21-2003, 05:50 AM NOOOOOOOOOO IDEA:D SilverStreak 03-21-2003, 09:44 AM I'd be willing to bet the Maxima has a slight edge in the power to weight ratio. Now, a 5 spd 530 vs an auto Maxima, different story, but both auto, or both stick, the Maxima has the slight edge. Now, if the Maxima driver can't launch a FWD car, the edge swings back to the BMW... b0rf 03-21-2003, 01:26 PM I believe the Maxima has a 4 speed auto...so gearing might come into play. I think it will be pretty close. Pepe240sx 03-23-2003, 01:33 AM Yeah I agree. What if its a 5spd 530i against the 6spd SE? Would it still be close race or what? |
