There just aint much love for the sedan with all these nut swingers around here. The weight and HP differences between the 4th and 5th gens pretty much evens them out for a 1/4 time. And so far the only people that will speak up of being in the 11's is the 4th gen crowd. I wouldn't doubt if there is someone, or a couple, that are really close or in the 10's; but you will probably never here about those.
Those guys are more likely to just be content with being in the shadows.
The 4th gen is a little more mod freindly and seems to respond very well to little tweaks. Plus you can get them dirt ass cheap. Use the extra money saved to put some nice stuff on.
And don't listen to all the naysayers trying to doubt the Max. Be different. There is something to be said about a car that is a total sleeper, can carry all your friends around, gets better gas mileage than their cars, and is a hell of a lot more comfortable. If you like run with it. You will get far more life out of a Max than you will any other Nissan, and probably almost any other vehicle out there. Oh, and they are cheap to fix.
Its true you can make a max fast, but it wont come cheap at all. There are certainly a lot more different nissans that can go alot faster and more realible for cheaper. It all depends what you like. You can make any car go fast its just a time and money issue. Oh and 4th gen maximas arent "different" ne more unfortunatly lol, they are all over the place now. I would luv to see a couple supercharged max's around town instead of this just exhaust and intake crap i see everyday.
