out of all the cars you named the maxima is the fastest bone stock, by far. The gsr MIGHT be able to hang with the maxima on the highway, but from a stop or a 30-40mph roll, it's over with for the GSR. I am a little biased toward nissans in general, but the previous statement is a fact. Dollar for dollar, to answer your question, the maxima is going to "give you the most speed".

1995-1996Maxima(5spd):0-60mph: 6.71/4 mile : 14.7(best I know of)-15.0(avg.)

1994-1999 gsr:0-60mph: 7.21/4 mile : 15.5-15.7

1994-1999 ls:0-60mph: 7.7-8.01/4 mile : 16.0-16.2

1992-1994 prelude si:0-60mph: 7.21/4 mile : 15.1

1991-1993 240:0-60mph: 81/4mile : 16.0

1995-1998 240:0-60mph: 8.31/4 mile : 16.1

My Maxima went 14.4 in the 1/4 with only 500-600 dollars in mods naturally aspirated, with full leather, sunroof, etc.
