Nissan Altima SE V-6 versus Subaru WRX

At first I was all for the WRX with its unmatched handling and expandable turbo tricks, but now I'm curious if the new Altima VQ35DE V-6's torque and general comfort and modern ergonomics can outdo the scoob.

I give it up to wrx 0-60 is in low 5's and altima is in low 6's....plus turbo kicks in and that thing will fly.

1/4 WRX 14.1
1/4 Altima 14.4

Rather go with Nissan, no turbo is more reliable =/

WRX low 5's? Hope you are not talking about stock ones. If it is I am going to have to raise the BS flag.

Maybe with the various STi trim, but not the plain Jane WRX. I sure hope the STi makes it here.

Im gonna have to go with the WRX. My friend has one and has raced a Nissan Altima v-6 but it wasn't an SE but like it makes much of a difference anyways. The WRX won but not by much which proves valid the 1/4 miles times JBL85 put up.

I have seen on i-club WRX getting low 14's. However it was around 14.3 and above. The time posted by JBL on 0-60 is totally off track. If 0-60 is in the low 5's. The 1/4 mile time should well be into the 13's.

I'd pick the WRX only because the looks of the car are nicer and I'm generally drawn to turbo cars anyway.

That sounds just about right. The weight increase from the stiffen chassis cause the performance to slip a bit.
