The 02' 6 speed Maxima isn't a slouch guys. Given favorable conditions it could outrun the S. I hate magazine racing as much as everyone else, but here are some recent stats-

Report for 2003 Honda S2000
Obtained from C&D December, 2002
0-60: 6.3
1/4 Mile: 14.9
1/4 Speed: 95

2002 Nissan Maxima SE
Obtained from C&D October, 2002
0-60: 6 Transmission: Manual
1/4 Mile: 14.7
1/4 Speed: 97

I know that's very very slow for the S, but it could happen.

I think I've been banned from the Maxima site. I guess I wasn't polite enough.

Maxima's are pretty quick with the new V6, since they don't weigh all that much. That said, they are pretty flimsy for a midsize passenger sedan. The sheet metal is thinner than other cars of it's class, so it is lighter and more responsive, but also less sturdy, which is not what I want when I have kids in the car. I have no doubt a race with one would be a driver's race until third gear, but I also have no doubt I am happier losing to a Maxima than driving one.
