Make my car as fast as a Maxima

[rodguezsciii]

believe it or not....prior to buying the Prix, the 3 cars I was willing to buy at the time were 03 + Accord, 04+ Max, or the GTP.....GTP was only car I could find within a reasonable driving distance for under 10K and under 100,000 miles....

Re: Make my car as fast as a Maxima
what is your budget to beat the maxima

I don't guess I really have a set budget, however, that DOES NOT mean money is no object. I'm sort of trying to set a budget by deciding what it will cost, then viola, budget set. When it comes to mods, $1000 or $1200 isn't really that much money and more than likely that will be about all I could squeeze out for mods, not maintenance.

if you haven't already, read this

In the original post I said I did read that already. Maybe my question could be better stated this way: Using that thread as a guide, where could I stop and expect to achieve my goals. I was hoping some of the more experienced members would have some insight. All help is much appreciated.

Rodguezsciii,

Thanks for the input. Like I said, it's been a while since I drove the Prix, but I don't remember it being nearly as fast as the Maxima. Just getting there would be good enough for me.

Believe it or not, I also considered Accords and Maxima's before I bought my GTP. I needed a 4 door car that would be big enough to get the kids in the back seat without them having to touch each other, big enough to take a road trip in, and still fun for dad when the wife and kids aren't with me.

Also needed to have cheap parts in stock at Autozone and Advance. Since I've had previous cars torn apart with no money to fix them or the parts on order, I made a list of every car repair I could think of that I had ever done, and searched for those parts on their websites. The Grand Prix had the lowest price parts across the board and had more of them in stock. So, the search was on for a GTP.

Just wish I had bought a different one.
