There's a lot of BS in this thread.
My car isn't the fastest on here but I actually own it and I'm not pulling the numbers out of my a**.
It's respectable enough, 339 hp at the rear wheels, 389 lbs of tq at the rear wheels (about 400 hp/450 tq at the engine) When it was stock I ran a 13.8@103, last time I ran it I ran a 13.0 @107.5 mph. It's still mostly stock, just intake, exhaust, & the boost is turned up.
And about the maxima, there's no reason why he can't mod it to be 450 hp. It has a variant of the engine that's in the Z, and you can apply many of the same mods to it. 450 hp, even at the rear wheels, is cake and not an aggressive setup at all. That would be considered a mild street setup.

You have to take it within the context of the discussion. It is very clear they were originally talking about street driven vehicles, at no point in the discussion between them did anyone indicate a shift to pure drag cars. At no point in Thin Lizzy's post did he mention hp achived over ~600, which is the first thing that flew up the BS flag in my head because 600hp isn't even going to sniff 6's in the quarter. Further he made a comment about a "STOCK bottom end". So when he then jumps straight to commenting about a 6 second "86" (<-model year also another unintended indicator he's talking about at least a somewhat streetable car, most cars that far removed from an actual street car tend to be called X generation bodied cars) 300zx, you can probably see why I thought he might be involved in shens (that never goes on in ATOT talking about cars does it???). Also, I'm guessing that motor ain't running a stock bottom end.
I think u may have to re-read my posts. Obviously, i confused u a little bit b/c i didn't ever say 600hp would make a z run 6's. The whole point of my posts was that someone said that the maxima couldn't achieve 450hp, so i had to educate him on what engine is in there. I had to let him know that the VG30 has huge aftermarket support to easily attain 450hp. Now let me clarify another thing. I said 350-600whp can be achieved with a stock block. It's been proven many times. I never said that the 7.xx second 300z was stock, i mentioned that z to show that person the aftermarket support that's available for the VG. That's way over 450hp on a VG. There's no way that one is stock, but u missed my point. Once again, 350whp-600whp can be had on a stock block z. I hope i don't seem like i'm jumping anyone's throat either. I understand the original context of the post, but i was replying to someone who made a completely uneducated comment saying that u can't get 450hp out of a maxima.
No need to explain yourself, my last post was simply to explain to QuitBanningMe why I made the comments I did about the original post. Automotive threads on the internet tend to end up knee deep in BS, it makes me jumpy sometimes.

Haha, gotcha.
If you're talking about the one in that link, it's twin turbo, not single. And not remotely streetable.
And making 450hp and being "streetable" is questionable. Depends on what you call streetable.

Ahh, but I shall redeem myself by replying to you by editing this post rather than making another.

I can tell you every little thing I've done to the van. Garret T03 turbo, BOV, Ford Powerstroke intercooler, extra fuel injectors, exhaust, custom-crossdrilled G-Turbo-head (dropped compression ratio without sacraficing cooling), head shim (.020), Champion RN9YC sparkplugs, removed the balance shafts, RIDICULOUS weight drop, 180 thermostat, new trans cooler, oil cooler, killed the top-speed governor with some handy custom electronics work, a few other little goodies that I don't feel like explaining.
I ran some borrowed slicks for the timeslip run, but the rest of the time it runs much less aggressive boost and normal, human tires
just look at what he says. corners at 75? um last time i checked, roads with 90* corners max at 45mph speed limit and even on a track/skidpad, 75 is pure bs.
i've taken a 90* right corner at 50-55 in my 98 cavalier... of course the corner had a 10* bank and it still barely held.
Yeah that one is twin. I was thinking of a later model 7.? second Z that runs a single.
Streetable to me is running on pump gas or with a little bit of a stretch filling up at the airport. It would not be hard to make a VG30 put down 450hp and remain streetable..
450hp is very streetable. I can get close to 450 hp (crank) on the stock turbos. It'll come up a little shy of it but it'll be very close. And with a very streetable turbo upgrade such as Sport500's, you'll have more than 450 hp making it to the rear wheels, 500+ hp at the engine. Those turbos spool up almost as quickly as stock turbos do.
For the VG30DETT in my car, you don't start losing streetability until the mid 500's at the wheels. That is easily achievable and the streetabilty won't be too much different than stock.
I overclocked my foward stern engine to 12 camelpower(thats like 1200 horsepower, 2 kittypower).

This whole discussion is retarded. I own a Maxima (2001 SE), but there is NO FRIGGIN' WAY any FWD car with 450 BHP would be anything but a nightmare to drive.
I'm speaking mainly of engine potential beacause it was said that a Maxima engine could not produce 450hp with every possible mod.
I can't say how a Maxima would drive with that much power because I have never seen one. I can say I have driven an integra with 400+hp and it wasn't bad at all.
Are you serious? If you'd like pictures of me and my car let me know. I like making people eat their words and ur up for a serving.
Daily driven maxima making 476whp-501tq 1995 se maxima and a few other maxima w/ 350hp and up:
link to maximas making over 350hp up to 471whp
And if ur worried about traction issues, Quaife makes an LSD for 95-01 maximas.Once again, these are daily driven maximas which are very streetable.
