:facepalm
Why are we rehashing this again? You realize my car wasn’t stock either…right? While I’m sure your car handles great for what it is, the fact that you think mine handled like a POS even after a complete suspension upgrade/overhaul is ridiculous. Have you even driven in a Maxima with my exact suspension? Doubt it, as I was probably the only one in Albany area with that setup (Tokico Illumina struts and H&R springs, upgraded mounts, front and rear strut bars, and new LCA’s, links, and associated bushings/mounts). Most ‘modified’ Maxima’s around here are rolling on 19’s and no drop :rofl. I’m not sure if CustomLowz is dropped or not, but he can probably vouch for that setup as I think a lot of the 5th gen guys also run it. You’re just assuming because it’s a Maxima that it handles like crap. Maybe in stock form it does (.083 G on the skid pad for a 97SE - mine was a 99SE so I don’t know if that number went up or down in that time). That’s fine. But, you don’t know my car as well as I do (I still think that you’re under the impression that my car was stock??), and I don’t know your car as well as you do. Go take a spin in a comparable car and then jump to conclusions. I think it’s a safe bet to say that it is as good or better than your high and mighty aftermarket setup (judging by your words of course, since I’ve never driven in a Camaro or in a Camaro with your setup).
Also, it’s not all about suspension. Wheel weight, car weight, and tires come into play as well. I was running super light 17.7lb (18") wheels and Kumho summer tires. With my current 16" winter tires on the car (Dunlop Winter Sport 3D), I can still do 75-80 on those ramps (the ones I mentioned last time we discussed this) although thats pushing it. I’ve tried and 77 was the most I could do before I felt unsafe. With the Kumho’s I had, I could do well over that. High 80’s.
But again, what do I know? I’m just an immigrant kid who drives Nissans. :lol
As for my post(s) above…I don’t like loud ass ricers either. I think all loud vehicles should be ticketed the same. So don’t get all domestic vs import over there. I’m just saying I’d rather deal with the noise of a ricer as opposed to the noise of a harley or domestic muscle car because it’s slightly quieter and far less obnoxious. Yes it sound stupid, but at least it doesn’t make me want to wear ear plugs to protect my ear drums.
