Yikes, that car is super quick, although it doesn't quite have the poise of the Maxima, nor does it have the poise of the G20s. The Altima is one of those "Wolf is Sheep's Clothing" cars, super quick, easy to pounce on just about anything on the road. So this makes me ask "Have you driven a 4 door Porsche lately?"

Nice ride doesn't begin to describe it. My recreational activity is now exclusively DRIVING!
Just ordered JWT intake and H&R Springs. Still undecided on exhaust - want Flowmasters!

well thats casue your drive a RX-7~!! see but tryin takin your kids to family dinner while doin it.:smoka:

TatII · 01-10-2002, 12:28 PM

oh yeah question for MAX did he put up a good fight? how many cars were you ahead of him by and how long was he keepin up with you for until what mph?

MaxRX7 · 01-11-2002, 10:56 AM

oh, I wasn't in my RX-7

I was driving a VW Jetta 1.8T, hey don't laugh, it is my girl's car.
It is "upgraded", you know BPU ++

The Altima got the launch on me, and then we got caught a light. I had the windows down and he rolls down his window and says to me, he says "that VW ain't shit"

...
I tell him I was not racing, but I would if he wants, and then even take it on the highway, he agrees.

The light turned green, he squeals the tires and takes the jump. I casually dump the clutch at 2k RPMs and gain and gain, and start pulling.
This was more like a 1/8th mile and had him by 2 cars.

He followed me onto the highway and I let him line up next to me at 50mph and I pulled like a mofo. Slowed down, and did it again this time starting from 60mph. I had 8 cars lengths by 120mph and decided that was enough. You should have seen his face .

In summary: they are good off the line, but on a highway roll they lose steam.

Man, I would feel SO sorry for him if I had my 7.

ooooh man that sucks too here~!! noooooo i love that car too. but even a jetta can take it with an engine thats about half its size too. i guess the weight affects the car that much. i dunno. nooooooo~~~!!! i wanted that car too!!! you usre it wasn't a auto? that you were racing?

I don't know BPU ++, but I call BS. Especially the part about the car being fast off the line and losing steam top end. I find the exact opposite is true.

TatII · 01-13-2002, 12:03 AM

MAX i'm alittle unfamiliar with volkswagons. does the 1.8T stand for turbo? and what was the horsepower on that jetta of your girls? i just wanna know how can a mere jetta beat a altima.

That is your opinion.

I am comparing it to a modded Jetta not stock, very far from it.

What are you comparing the new Altima too ?

Oh I know, you find the exact opposite to be true when you are driving in your dad's Ford Muffstank GeeTea.
