Just a few more shots she coming along nicely From the rear the stance almost resembles how the z sits low and wide toward the ground... Stillen intake strut and batt tie down pictured, she is dropped on eibachs with the sway bar in the rear... And a Escort 9500ci radar detector installed in the rear view mirror... One of my boys is working on these as we speak, I was hoping to have them by this weekend there is a big Nissan show in the Savannah area.. Anybody local to the area?

My Wife has an 11 Maxima, the bluish green color. I love the car. But if my wheels are ever stolen, I'm sure I wouldn't have to look far. She wants to jack them.

It's definitely a sporting car. Faster than the numbers say. The CVT takes a sec to peg, but when it does, it really starts eating up asphalt. Both have hips, @ss, stylized lights and rides firmer than the run of the mill cars. It's no 370Z, but it's a good compromise when baby's become the best worst surprise. Nissan figured they had a good design and now we see it on the Sentra and Altima. You need a sedan with serious stones to keep up with it.

IDK, still prefer the Maxima, especially with the 19's and blacked out front lights. Just like every other manufacturer, they are trying to unify their lineup. Problem is, by making them all look the same, they are sapping the life out of them. I have to take a hard look to figure out if something is an Altima or Sentra from a distance. At least I can tell what a Maxima is, car looks like it runs on red beans and rice.

But at the end of the day its what you need out of the car and at what time in your life. SO that dictates a lot of things. As I get older I can see myself getting a Maxima....right now. NO WAY!!! |
