nissan altima 3.5l v6
 

sooo my friend just bought a new nissan altima 3.5l and i believe its the 5 speed manual....he wants to race.....
my specs
1998 gt 5speed with 40 series flows, 63 air charger series by K&N and that is it.

his specs
175 HP SAE @ 6,000 rpm; 180 ft lb
9.5 compression ratio, double overhead cam, variable valve timing/camshaft and four valves per cylinder QR25

now i can run down and beat my best friends '66 350 chevelle....so what are ur thoughts on the outcome of this race.....as far as him and i in an 8th or 1/4 mile

i think i can take him no prob

His specs are not correct, those are for the 4 banger 2.5L altima.

02 - 05 Altima 3.5L V6 - 245hp, 246tq, 3197lbs
06 Altima 3.5L V6 - 250hp, 249tq

If he does have the 3.5L V6, you will get beat pretty easily unless he sucks at driving.

You know what, just race him! Plain and simple if you lose you buy more go fast parts and woop his ass! Later. Maybe it's me but if you don't take it to a track and find out, why ask? If your street racing(Which is illegal and could get yourself killed) don't ask here but that's my .02

Besides you'll have the advantage at a track if you can drive your car.

i agree with this guy


by buddy had one of those cars before he got his 06 gt. every race i walked on him like he wasnt moving but i have a lot more power in my car than you do. just race the guy and see what happens. one thing is for sure, your car has more potential than his. my buddy's car had heads/cams/tune/exhaust and i still walked on him pretty bad. thats why he traded it in on the gt.

thanks guys for the replies, i was half way asleep when i posted the thread so i appologize on the specs.

but ya we are just gunna do it for funa nd see what happenes...i went to a nissan altima forum and read a few posts about GT's Whomping all over these little buggers, so i was just curious.
