Killed a first gen altima

Surprised? So am I. I was doing my daily drive-arounds when I spot this out of state civic, I tried calling him out but I came to the conclusion he didn't wanna race. I passed him up and continued on until this altima passes me and I spot a shiny looking exhaust tip. My music was blasting, so I didn't bother to lower my volume to check and see if it had some exhaust or what not. He was going pretty fast, I caught up with him and passed him up, I'm pretty sure he saw the stupid grin I gave him cause he starting to gain on me. When he caught up it pretty began after that. I'm doing about 110 by now and have him beat by half a car, so we shut down on a curve on the freeway. I slow down to about 80, and he's about 2 cars infront of me weaving on the curve, I thought it was kinda funny to look at. I get to a nice straight away and gain him, then pass him up. I'm 3 cars ahead of him now and he's doing his best to catch me. We got to some traffic so I shut down, and watch him cut through traffic. I point and laugh at him at this point, sore loser.:icon16:

Nice kill man. What year were the first gens?

you know..I don't know, I'm not sure if the earlist is 97, or something like that. My knowledge of the altimas before 2000, are extremely limited.

first generation Altima was a 93, i used to own one, not a bad car at all, but surely not a fast car

werent those altimas inline 4s? well either way and some wuick research shows this courtesy of allbeedigital.com....

1993 Nissan Altima SE 8.2 16.4
1993 Nissan Altima GXE (auto) 9.6 17.2
1994 Nissan Altima GXE 9.4 16.9
1998 Nissan Altima 8.2 16.4
2005 Nissan Altima Se-R 6.1 14.8 (C&D Sept '05)

apparenty not a really quick car though.

but apparently due to this as well

2000 Dodge Neon R/T 7.7 16.4
2000 Dodge Neon ES 8.8 16.9
2001 Dodge Neon R/T 7.6 16.1


it musta been a gxe and u must have a r/t....either way sounds like u had fun. i dont like to magazine race, but i guess that helps with this. nice kill

I raced my friends altima (like 1998 maybe?) and beat it and i think he had an inline-4. Anyways, did you guys notice how the 0-60 times are better on the neon but the quarter miles are the same on both cars. That must mean that the altima is better from a roll and yours is better from a dig, because the altima loses time during the first 0-60 (or so) mph which means its gotta make it up somewhere (obviously the rest of the track). So i would say you did pretty good to hang with him from a roll.

It's all thanks to premium gas and octane booster. Only regular gas and no octane booster, I get my ass kicked from a roll. But I'm usually racing cars, or at least calling them out, that have like upgrades when my is like bone stock(except for the rims lol). I was really surprised when I was starting to beat him, he obviously didn't want to race to end like that. lol. by the way, i don't own an R/T, I have an ES. Did they even come in my color orange? I've only seen tan brown and black.

you can't be serious, are you?

:lol2::lol2::lol2::rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :cwm27: :cwm27:

yes because we all know octane booster gives you like 20+ octane NUMBAR!

i highly doubt high octane gas and booster helped you at all you prolly lined up with somebody who couldnt drive.

lol, most of those octane boosters that boast high octane numbers are crap. I'm not saying the ocatne booster gave me a big gain, there's no way in hell that'll happen. It just makes the car a little more responsive, any other octane booster that says it will increase hp is total bs, it only restores lost hp from the age of the engine. lol

will the body work make you gain HP too?

So what's the deal :screwy:

ik what u mean moer agressive. make the car seem lighter. but they dont really help much seriously. it doesnt restore engine hp, just cleans ur fuel injectors.

The point is that higher octane does not make you faster or increase horsepower. It simply allows you to run more advanced timing, higher compression, or more boost etcetera without getting pre-detonation. Your car will see nothing from putting 91 octane or higher. Any contrived performance gain is the placebo effect.

doesnt clean your injectors :lol: injector cleaner does octane booster doesnt :lol:

doesnt clean your injectors :lol: injector cleaner does octane booster doesnt :lol:

So what does octane booster do? The jury's still out on that one. Use the octane number your car manual describes and if it's an economy class car like the neon, use regular, you're saving money and winning half the battle already.

My excuse: that post threw me off.

I wouldnt use octane booster, but thats just...I only use 87 octane because thats what Jeep says to use. They actually recommend not using high octane. I am not sure why...

You people and your damn cars that are able to run regular:disappoin LOL

You people and your damn cars that are able to run regular:disappoin LOL

Yeah, yeah, I know. I aim to fix that though. :)

If it makes you feel any better the GTC has to have 91+ but it still can get about 30MPG.

I get about 24 mpg on the highway running 70 on cruise contro...I got 13 mpg when I towed a trailer on the highway and 6 mpg in the moutains of W.V. towing...I will never tow again...hurts my pocket

will the body work make you gain HP too?


why are you mocking me?:eek7:

why are you mocking me?:eek7:
more like seeing what you would say so honestly will it make it faster? :rolleyes: i mean you are just full of surprises beating altimas "because of octane booster and good gas" octane booster gives you like a 0.0000002 boost in octane it doesnt help THAT much the point is you beat a altima because either a. your car is simply faster or b. the alitma driver sucked balls.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I aim to fix that though. :)

dam my 94 v-6 3.o gtc only gets like 20mpg??

The Octane booster is definatly a Placebo affect...

sportsb4life7, I get about 20mpg around town with my 3.0 v6, and my car is heavy. But im sure our driving habits are a bit different lol(I like to take it easy)

you know...I'm trying real hard to say something other than "fuck you", my irritation is beginning to build up, but I'm not gonna be an asshole like you are clearly being. I've been trying to explain that I know my car isn't fast, I know doesn't run like 13 seconds down a 1/4 mile strip, and I know that octane booster doesn't give your car a goddamn hp boost. I even said it. Octane booster doesn't give your car the hp increase that people gullibly believe. This stuff only helps your car be a LITTLE more responsive, doesn't make your car fucking super fast to keep up with turbo-charged engines or the smallest V-8s on the market. What you or SupaMan98T don't understand, is that I'm just a guy who's fucking broke, and do not have money coming out of my ass to do any extreme upgrades to my car, I only race cuz it's fun. Fucking kill-joys like you think you're so much above ordinary people that you just shoot down anything they fucking say. I don't believe after beating some half-assed driver behind the wheel of an altima I should have lost to, I think I can beat any one of them now, and that's not even the fucking case. I'm just a mellow guy that just wants to have fun, wheter the fucking fact I win or lose, doesn't fucking matter to me. Sure, I don't like to lose that much, but when I'm beat, I know I'm beat. Shit, I'm starting to get a little angry about this. Thank you very fucking much for ruining my mood tonight.:banghead:

:iamwithst

great post...i actually bow it is since i am also one of these poeple, im just not broke. i decide if im going to mod it or not and this goes in and out of my head a lot....trust me its frusterating

thanks, I'm pretty sure once I get to that point, my head's gonna explode.:cwm27:
but right now i'm just trying to find that good enough job to get me to that point.:iceslolan

SRT-Wannabe, I'm not trying to be an asshole, I'm just trying to help you out. The fact of the matter is that running higher octane, or octane booster will have absolutely no effect on your car. It will NOT gain HP, it will NOT make it faster, it will NOT restore lost HP from engine age and it will NOT make your engine more responsive.

These are all things that you said it did in your previous posts and it does none of those things. Especially on a Neon with an average compression ratio and retarded timing. I can quote you if you wish:

It's all thanks to premium gas and octane booster. Only regular gas and no octane booster, I get my ass kicked from a roll.

I’m not saying the ocatne booster gave me a big gain, there's no way in hell that'll happen. It just makes the car a little more responsive, any other octane booster that says it will increase hp is total bs, it only restores lost hp from the age of the engine. lol

You’re experiencing the placebo effect.

^^
its true, running higher octane will probably make your cats dirtier, experience worse gas mileage, and possibly some power loss.

Ok, I accept that. Polygon, I never thought you were an asshole, if fact, I've never felt like you've ever tried to be a prick to me. I think you're cool in my book. And thanks TQT, I never knew that, thanks for the help to the ones that helped me. I accept help, I don't take insults. I'm still learning.

I made the same mistake with my first car, a 1984 Dodge Daytona TBI. Wasted a lot of money on 91 octane until someone set me straight. :grinno:

to SRT- Wannabe...

this is only the internet anyway, you should take everything with a grain of salt lol

lol true. so true.

im broke as fuck too mr neon but you sounded like a complete jackass by saying that high octane gas and booster helped you win that race.

your story is BS and neons suck.....oh by the way the "F-word" was used eight times in this statement......:iceslolan

fuck this, i give up. 209, i hope you blow your motor.

hahaha calm down bro.....do you really think Im serious....I think you need to take a better look at the car I drive.....oh yeah BTW Im not a female and my motor didnt come with a penis there for blowing my motor would be out of the question......:grinyes:

fuck this, i give up. 209, i hope you blow your motor.
you should give him some octane booster the power might blow his motor! yea im bein a jackass now so what you dont have to gemmie this song and dance about being broke if i had money growing on trees i wouldnt be parting out a supra nobodys sayin not to use it the way you said it seriously made it look like you beleived the octane booster gave you 15 hp or something so you could beat this car.

hahaha calm down bro.....do you really think Im serious....I think you need to take a better look at the car I drive.....oh yeah BTW Im not a female and my motor didnt come with a penis there for blowing my motor would be out of the question......:grinyes:
