Hypothectically speaking as I do not condone any sort of street racing or competition

Default Hypothectically speaking as I do not condone any sort of street racing or competition

When I'm driving my GSR around town I frequently cross paths w/this dude in a Gold colored Nissan Altima (newer model, maybe an 04 and up) and he always flexes on me, which I think is pretty lame. I know a little about the Altima and I am thinking his is a V6 Automatic that he puts in neutral to be able to rev up the way he does. I've never returned his challenges as it is not appropriate and because I think he is just some dude with something to prove.

I want to say he most likely has an intake and an exhaust to make his care sound the way it does.

All I have is an intake, exhaust, aftermarket clutch and a lightweight flywheel.

"If" he an I were to line up at a legal venue, would I stand a chance? I cannot help but to wonder. I have no intention of acting upon this in an illegal setting, but I just wanted your guys's opinions.

Depends on how well you can launch and how fast you can shift.

If he has the V6, then it could be going to the Altima if you don't have a great start. If he has the I-4 then you would rape him.

I really hate bench racing, but just comparing the stats, if he actually does have a V6, he has about 70 hp but only about 300 lbs on you. It would be a very close race.

Hypothetically speaking, this should probably be moved to Drag Strip....so move it I shall.

Thanks guys, I hate bench racing too, but at it is safe and no-one gets hurt or killed. If by the luck of god I ever run into this buster at a track (if and when I do go) I'll let you know what happens. At least if I get owned, hey...it was a V6, and not much for him brag on for beating a 1.8L4 banger.

i've actually raced an v6 altima in my 95 acura integra ls with exhaust and intake, i took it on take off but only by a hood. I think it was like 3rd gear when he starts to pulled on me, i couldn't do shit then except wished that i had vtec. ehehhehehe but i think it's would be a close race because gsr wouldn't do to well on take off compare to an ls.

Your probably right. I have raced an LS though at LACR with the same mods as me and I beat him off the line just barely but once I hit 2nd I left him behind right away. I don't think the torque is that much different when comparing the LS to the GSR. I don;t the know the exact numbers, but I think they are not TOO far from eachother to make any huge impacts.
