[n8236]

This vid sucks dinosaur ballz

[GoofyG28]

My mom told me your balls tasted like chinese salty fish when she licked them :)

[smartkid1985]

this is what the 2009 nissan maxima may sound like

[bp240]

find out, theyre definitely out already since i saw one parked by where i work

[smartkid1985]

i know, nissan said its exhaust is performance-oriented anyway

[bp240]

have you heard it yet? cuz i havent

[smartkid1985]

yeah, it sounds exactly like an FX

[bp240]

really? cuz if your saying the g35 sedan sounds like the fx, then i disagree with that. the fx is much louder. i know this because i own a g35 and my town is loaded with fx's.

[smartkid1985]

nah, the G35 is like a baby fx. the 09 max sounds way louder than this

[bp240]

thats kind of surprising to me, trust me the g35 is louder than it sounds here by far, but i do wish the exhaust had more balls. ill go check out the maxima then, but i wouldnt buy it. im waiting for the 370z

[smartkid1985]

well if the G35's exhaust is performance-oriented, then chances are it sounds exactly like the 09 maxima. the 370z's exhaust definetly must sound like the G37

[bp240]

i agree with both statements, i think the 370z is gonna sound sick

[smartkid1985]

for sure

[smartkid1985]

my friend, I see you have the 2009 maxima! so you couldnt wait for the 370Z?

[bp240]

o no...im still waiting but i hear the z might not come out until the middle of the year, so the maxima will hold me over...i actually share the maxima so i didnt pay for the whole thing

[smartkid1985]

you share it? anyways is the exhaust like the G35?

[bp240]

i share it with a family member, and the exhaust is definitely more like the g35 than the fx or 350z. while the exhaust tips look bigger overall than the g35, they arent very loud, and the engine itself doesnt sound as nice as the 306hp engine in the 350z/g35. its slightly different and as far as sound while driving it doesnt have that sweet spot at around 3200rpm like the g

[smartkid1985]

cool, the differences in the engines/exhaust are that the 350Z and the G35 use the VQ35HR "high rev" instead of the VQ35DE. so the redline for the maxima is 6500 rpm and the 350Z/G35 is 7500. for that sweet spot i think its the CVT's fault. speaking of CVT, how is nissan's new intelligent CVT with the Ds mode?

[bp240]

the Ds mode definitely holds the revs higher, but i havent gotten too into it since im still breaking in the car, but even in D its impressive. it doesnt need to rev high to give me good acceleration, and the most impressive thing to me is the manual mode. unlike the manual mode in the G35, there is no delay whatsoever. as soon as i upshift in the maxima, it switches gears without hesitation.

[smartkid1985]

cool, a rental ES i got from lexus apparently does the same thing your G3e does, It takes about one second to shift gears. and when I put it in manual while driving, it starts from th 4th gear instead of the 1st!

[bp240]

o yeah the e320 4matic i used to have did that. it also only let me shift 4 gears and when i tried to get to 5th, it went to auto. i think the bmw 335i was delayed in manual mode too, but i dont remember, it wasnt mine in my video, but i got a lot of time to test out its performance so its all good

[smartkid1985]

over all, in terms of performance/technology, nissan i think did a good job with their new intelligent CVT in auto/manual modes.

[GoofyG28]

Sport. It's the highest of the automatic models, and the 6MT only comes in Sport.

[smartkid1985]

is that a sport exhaust that comes with sport models?

[GoofyG28]

all models come with that exhaust

[vk45de]

That was barely a tickle. It sounds way more kickass at WOT

[bp240]

its actually not that quiet when revving, listen to my video of the cold start...and thats with a camera phone, actually standing next to it is much better

[GoofyG28]

I get 18-21mpg in my 6-speed 2007 G35 sedan.

[telusm]

I like it. I just wish they'd get better gas mileage. I have TL right now which is rated at 20/29

[derrickl920]

awesome

[n8236]

That sounds like my stomach after i eat beans, sounds awesome! Good work!

[bp240]

funny that n8236 said basically the same thing twice and one of his comments got 2 thumbs up and the other got 4 thumbs down

[takbklyn]

I can't wait to get mine...
