I hate to break up all the fun, but the SE Maxima weighs 3224lbs, makes 255bhp, and runs through a 6speed. The new 4.6 coupe weighs 3273lbs (deluxe), makes 260bhp and has a 5speed. The only advantages a GT has stock are 60 more ft/lbs of torque at 4000 rpm and rear wheel drive.

You don't have to strip those cars to be fast any more than you do a mustang. The VQ (their designation) block is one of the best 6's you can get. I can't find the quarter mile stats, but Stillen makes performance parts for that car, so I'm sure there are some 12-13 sec ones out there. (Yeah, that fast)
