Respect the new Altima's...

For a stock machine, these impressed me.

Out racing Saturday night. It came turn for a new altima lined up with a new GTP. And the Altima pulled him off the line and kept pulling. I was very impressed to say the least.

Oh, and saw a Z06 lose to a C4 LT4 with just a hot ZZ3 cam.
I find though nice looking, the Z06 exhaust sounds crackily, and horrible.

250hp I believe. NA too. Something most common imports can't do without a turbo.

I thought the Maximas had 255 hp, and the Altimas had only like 220 hp. Either way, it's still impressive. And they are both nice cars.

I'd respect them for sure, I bet they would just love a nice turbo upgrade

I was pleased with my cousin's 2000 Altima 4 cylinder. I'd like to have a little experience with these newer ones. I see them alot, but that's it...
