Its nice that they already are going aftermakret on the car...giving it a warm welcome

With all the cars using 3.5L VQ Series engine you will have a lot of aftermarket support in the next few years.

I would have to agree, I would say mid 5's. I would have to pick the WRX over the Altima anyday though.

147.5 weel hp for the wrx do not seems to high 4x4 about 25% trany loss ,this car is not very fast mid 14 thanks to 4x4.

It doesnt matter how much wheel Horsepower, matters how fast it can actually go. ANd for 147 AWHP thats pretty fast for the WRX

All I want to know is how anyone can favour the Altima over the WRX.

you think it no matter??for a 2800+lb car

that is not "fast" ,I know ther car have very good performance ,but not as well as every body said ,here in my country Chile we have the WRX since 1995 so I now what this cars are capable to do ,and the new on (the car that you have) is the slowest .
the 99-2000 have been the fasteted car hight 13 .

my sr20de with some mods can beat the 2001 wrx(stock),so that why Im telling you Im not impresse with the wrx.

Not everyone wants a race car, some people use cars as daily drivers

Also Subaru isnt as reliable as Nissan, especially with the TUrbo =)

Subaru Drive Train is compleatly ass!!!!!!! My friend put intake and exhaust on it got a bit more HP and broke his central Diff. He put it back to stock and thay would not cover it under warenty. Subaru Service is compleatly messed up...

I am thinking Swap a 3.5 into the new 2002 Sentra SE-R Vspec as it should bolt right in. dunno if it will fit but hay its worth a try..

[Morpheus XIII]

Will the VQ35DE really bolt right into the SE-R Spec-V? I know that both use the QR25DE when in 4-cylinder form, but are the mounting points the same in the Sentra so that the V-6 would fit? VERY interesting... lighter body, larger engine. When the Altima's chassis was still the concept XVL, it was made sure from the start that it would be versatile to all future drivetrains and engine configurations. But the B15 Sentra body was meant for the I-4s. I hope you're right.

All the more reason to buy a Nissan, speed isnt always everything

Damn right! Nissan power. A friend of mine has a WRX and I like it, but I get the fealing that the damn ceramic turbo would just explode if he put a boost controler on it and started turning it up to far. Its just not my type of car, its more rally aligned with that rough jumpy feal. I'd have to go with the Altima on this one 'cause I'm a Nissan man, after all, they did make the skyline :P Hmmm now here's a thought, how 'bout doin'g some work on the Altima and sticking one of those funny things they have on the GTSts on there, oh yea, a turbo. Donno if it would be more trouble then its worth but I doubt it.

For ae stud, your friend raced an new ALtima v-6 but is wasnt an
SE.? Nissan has never made a V-6 Altima until this year and is only
comes in the 3.5 SE....

[Euro19]

Altima definitively.
