And dirt cheap, with all the 2000-2001 maximas in the junkyards these days. I'm trying to convince a buddy with a DSP 1995 maxima to sell it to me for challenge price, which is more than its blue-book. Car already has Hoosiers on some steelies, and is a fast autocrosser. $500 engine swap and it'll run in the high 13s too :) Alternately, I'v thought an older maxima would be a great LeMons choice.....fast, can handle, bulletproof engine and tranny, and big enough to take a few hits..
Chump Car campaigning a Maxima has crossed my mind quite a bit. I used to own a '95 5spd. I called it my poor man's BMW. I wasn't far off back then.
Irish, since you're knowledgeable about Maximas what parts break when they are tracked? I'm assuming that in stock form they can cool, oil, and generally maintain a healthy state in stock/well maintained form when used for track events. Is that true as well?
Do you know of any bolt in roll cages for Maximas?
