stock automatic 1997 Nissan Maxima SE 0 to 60, anybody know?

[mkfanatic]

What does a stock 1997 Nissan Maxima SE w/ automatic transmission do in 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile? Does anybody know? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I remeber the 0-60 for the 95 which is the exact same car so should be same ( depeednig on who is testing too).

7.4 secs 0-60mph w/ the Auto, one of the quickest V6 sedans available at that time.

I dont remember the quarter mile times.

high 15's guessing !

I would too guess high 15's with a perfect launch.

I doubt hi 15's with an auto, but it's possible. Probably 16.1 or so I'd say.

this is from a moderator. it is not uncommon for them to be in the 15.6 - 15.8 range

"97 GXE Auto Cali Spec 15.62 @ 87 MPH -- 2.27 60' --- Island DragwayThis run was done totally stock with less than a 1/4 tank of fuel, no spare and no sub box. I torque braked at 2000RPM's just as both marker lights lit up."

ummmmm whatever they are they kinda keep up with my car. i dont know my time but i just know my 90se has enough mods to to take out a 97 though. i'm guessing mid 15's depending on the driver for a 97 auto w/ rims and CAI.

Per April '97 Motor Trend, 0-60 in 7.1 sec, 1/4 mile in 15.5 sec.

What is the top speed for 95-96/97-99s?

[audtatious]

95 SE (June '94 Motor Trend): 0-60 in 6.6, 1/4 in 15.2@95 (manual) 98 SE (June '98 Car & Driver): 0-60 in 8.2, 1/4 in 16.5@84 (???)

Im guessing that the 98 Max was auto, but it shouldnt have been that slow should it?

don't trust magazine numbers. a good driver can get a 4th gen 5 speed max into low 15's, possibly even high 14's if you get one with minimal amount of luxuries to keep the body weight low. i had a 95 5 speed prior to my 5.5 gen and there is no way in hell it's a 16 second car, even if it had a crappy nissan auto transmission.

I shall ask this again.

What is the top speed for 95-96/97-99s?

top speed for 4th gen GLE and SE's is as far as the speedo will go since they are ungoverned. GXE's are governmed at 127 mph because their factory tires aren't speed rated as high as the upper models tires. however you can cut a wire in the ECU's wiring harness( i believe it is pink with a grey stripe) and that will remove the speed limiter on GXE's, however it will cause a never ending CEL. on a dyno i've seen a 4th gen SE do 152 mph but that's without wind and/or other external factors so i'd say about 145mph would be as high as it would go. As far as i know there is no variation between 95-96's and 97-99's. i personally had my 95 SE at 136 mph while racing my friends 01 Acura CL-S.
