I don't know about the newer maximas, but the older ones too can hold their own. My best friend's first car was a 84 (yes, EIGHTY-FOUR) Maxima (he later got a brand new '01 Firebird to make up for that POS lol).
His stock 84 Maxima held it's own against my stock 95 Firebird (3.4L V6, not 3.8L) up to about 60, from 60 and on I was only able to pull slightly ahead, maybe 1/2 a car length.
