It's a awesome car...the new Altima just was on Motorweek and hit 14.4 at
100mph! 5.9 0-60! Awesome!!!!

Consider the new WRX does quarter mile in 14.2 and 0-60 in 5.7 with 227hp...new altima has 240 but fwd...might be possible but who knows...maybe its g-tech times.

 

[brian]

no, it is true

 

[NismoSER]

didn't they bump the maxima HP ratings down by 5 like they did with the SE-R and presumably the Altima too?

That is awesome! 14.4 in the 1/4 mile. It will kill its competitors (i.e Camry, Accord) and even Type R's.

It only gets 19/26mpg? What the hell is that? And don't say if you want performance blah blah blah blah.

You gotta go test drive one. They are sweet. Lotsa torque and fast as hell. A lot of n/a se-r's are gonna be in trouble. Oh well about time for boost anyway.

[NismoSER]

Dang! that's right there with the S2000! and the WRX! Woooooo! if only i wasn't hampered with college loans

**** that 14.4 in the 1/4 from the factory and you can cary your Grandparents? WRXwhat? Not since the 60's have there been such an affordable 4 door sedan that kicks ass. 19/26, it's a 3.5 not a 2.0 MAN!!!

amen to that! anyone know what the new maxima is expected to run? 20 more horsies? in about a similar sized car? from what i've read, the new altima is actually like 2 inches longer and an inch wider or so than the current maxima.

add 15 or 20 more HP or what not....I call 0-60 in 5.6 and the quarter in [email protected]

heheheehe

holy ****ing quacamole. thats some awesome time. and keep in mind those Motortrend people are the WORST drivers. they squeezed a 13.7 out of a Mustang Cobra and a 14.2 out of the Bullit Mustang.

but the thing tho... altima isn't really cheap
