I think one thing we can probably all agree on is that Nissan knows how to make an engine.

The Maxima has always had one of the best, if not THE best 6 cylinder out there. We have had a 95, 02, and 05 Maxima, and they are all top notch. The teenager wrecked the 95 with over 250k on the engine, and it was running super strong at the time ...we gave it away to a buddy of his with no money and lot's of time, he did some body work, and it's still going now with over 300k. The 02 is still ours with 181k and still runs sweet, nothing ever spent on it but the normal upkeep. The 05 really is not much different except in body styling...can't wait 'till the wife is ready for the 08!!

Obviously, the Titan motor rocks. I had an 05 Tundra before this Titan, and while the engine in it was super smooth and super reliable, it just did not have the ponies to do some serious truck work. However, the Toyota was a pooch in the CC configuration, but I was given a loaner extended cab with the same motor and it was night and day different...that smaller truck with the same engine was like a rocket. I am thinking that a Titan in the KC configuration might be significantly faster than my CC.

Of course, I have always been one to kind of downplay this whole racing thing with a truck...I bought mine for many reasons, including it's power, but not to use as a sportscar...that's why we have the Maxima's.

It is kind of nice to make the ford driver pretend I didn't just pull up next to him and rev the motor though!
