Friend just bought an '02 Maxima SE

[RambleOn]

My friend just took delivery of a brand new 02 Maxima SE. The car's sweet looking, majestic blue. The only thing is, he bought an automatic!<gasp> I couldn't believe he'd buy a badass Maxima and get a slushbox to accompany that 3.5 V6, rather than the 6-speed. I haven't had a chance to go for a ride in it yet, so I was just wondering what the performance specs are for the automatic Maxima's. It only has 130 miles on it now, so he's not going to abuse it <yet>. I'm thinking it runs probably high 15's in stock form? That sound about right? I know there's a lot of Maxima fans on this board, so I figured this would be the place to ask.

All I bought today was a soda, slice of pizza and a salad, I'm jealous RambleOn 🙁

3.5l V6 with 255 HP.


it will spank my measly 222 hp.

Believe me, I'm jealous too. Makes me want to trade in my old 92 Buick and my now getting old 97 Chevy Silverado P/U. I've considered a new car myself, but I just can't afford the $349 a month for 5 years that he's paying. I'm just gonna keep driving my current vehicles until they die.

I think it will run high 14's if not mid 14's

Lexus IS300 (215 hp) run in 15's and the new Maxima is mucho faster than that

Is mid 14's for the automatic? If so, then what do they run with a manual? That's quite impressive. Anyone know the 0-60's on these cars too?

It's funny to see people discussing the 1/4 mile times of a family sedan.
