Question

I am 16 and im getting a car. It is a 2001 nissan maxima. I picked this car because it looks nice and has a decent sized engine for my insurance. A 3.0 v6 to be exact. anyway i want to get into the street racing scene without actually doing it and not like a wana be. I just want a nive car that when im on the freeway with my friends i ca keep up with them. i do plan on putting a light body kit on it wit rims. In addition to finding the cheapest ways to add the most horse power. Tell me what you think of my idea and give me different ideas please.

Answer 1

No matter what the movies say, street racing is not cool. Don't do it for any reason! If you go any faster than 10 over the speed limit on the freeway, you're begging for a ticket. And, at 16, your insurance is high enough as it is.

If you want to modify it, start with basic bolt-on stuff like a cold-air intake, cat-back exhaust, and such. Also be mindful of if/how the aftermarket parts will affect your insurance.

Answer 2

have you driven a Maxima?

it has a bullet proof engine but it's a front wheel drive car.

when you get on the gas the car gets hard to steer

(torque steer)

also this car is similar to a turbo Audi I owned years ago in that the front tires wear out quickly.

make sure your rims are good quality not just good looking.

the front ones are doing all the work.

(steering & turning)

keep your tires balanced and rotated every 3 to 5,000 miles.
