1996 Nissan Maxima.....POS
So theres this 96 maxima on my street. driver thinks its hot ****. revs it everytime he goes down the street, and does about 90 in our neighborhood some nights. All I here is a loud WOOSH and a screaming engine, and hes gone(since we have a huge straightaway). He needs someone to tell him that it is nt that great. The thing is, he claims hes went 157 MPH on the highway. Can the car actually do that? What is the HP on those things?

Throw a cabbage patch kid in the street before he flys by.He will just see a quick glance since hes going so fast of a small child in the street. Then have him hit it. By the time he relizes what happened he will be far away due to him going so fast. Then you could swoop in and pick up the pices and hide. He might learn his lesson then and be haunted for the rest of his life from guilt. Then he might not ever fly by again?

if that Maxima is anything like my mom's 03 Altima...they're nothing to look down on. her car GETS UP AND GOES. it's got the same motor as the G35 and the 350Z, but slightly tuned down. very quick car

from edmunds "Under the hood is a twin-cam, aluminum 3.0-liter V6. It puts 190 horsepower to the ground through the front axle" under 200 hp is not going to do much in a car that was designed more for luxury the altima (if 3.5) is rated at 245hp

Home made spike strip. Or just do what I do in the summer. Speeders down my block with bunch of kids playing get a nice hose spray through the side window. My old neighbor hood we just drove some nails through a 2x4 into the ground and had a nice speed bump. That lasted a couple of days until it has destroyed. people who went over it slowed down around there from then on. No one ever saw it especially at night.
