Well one of the guys in my dorm has a stock 2002 Maxima SE automatic. Actually, it's not his; his parents buy everything for him. But anyway, he was bragging about how fast it was the other day, and so I asked him if he wanted to race. He was down, so one night last week, we went out to a deserted highway at 12:30.
We went twice, both times from a stop.
The first race, we both spun a bit but I still pulled about a car and a half through first gear. Through second gear I pulled just a bit more, but by third gear he began catching up. We shut down at 110 and I had about a car length on him.
One of our friends who was with us (and is a good driver) drove the Maxima for our second race. He stalled it up to 2000 and we went from a stop again. This time we both spun really bad. I didn't get any traction till the end of 1st gear; I think I was nervous about racing this guy, lol. Well anyway, the second race ended up a lot like the first. I had maybe 2 cars on the Maxima before he closed it to a car length when we shut it down at 95.
Some of the guys gave me a lot of crap for just "barely" beating a sedan with my "muscle car", but I'm pretty pleased with beating him with my V6 180,000 mile car. Oh and btw, the 2002 Maxima has 255hp and 246tq stock. :D
