General ricer, anyone with any experience with these 4-door race cars?[&:]

 

i use to own a 1998 3.8 two and i owned a 2005 altima with exaust intake shorty headers those are my mods by the way and i own 2005 altima they have a descent start but lose power quickly

is your car the series II with 205hp and 230 ft of torque?

then i would have to say the altima. I have the same engine on the pathfinder, from the dig the acceleration sucks, but from a 40mph to 60mph its pretty good. However mine is on a SUV and weighs a ton. So it could go either way for the altima. My uncle has the four banger altima, and the acceleration on that is not bad at all.

You can maybe win this race from a dig due to your car being rwd and giving you an avantage but however your car does 0-60 in about 9 seconds. So idk. Unless you have optional performance package, then its different

 

ya the 05 is pretty quick but i think u get him i always flour mine i get bored fast but when i use to have my 3.8 it was very fun to drive but it coudve been the mods

I have the Series II 3800.
Where are you people getting 9 secs?
Do I need to post a video for proof?
I got at ~7 sec with a friend in the back seat for traction (Terrible Tires)
So if you think it was a good race with 9 secs 0-60, it should be a driver's race, right?
I'll probably beat his launch with him being FWD, not clutch dummping, and if he does, his car has no TCS.

 

I have puny 3.08 gears, still about ~7 secs

 

actually yours is a manual, i didnt realize that. I was looking at an auto. Well now it seems like with good traction and good clutching you could very well have this race. Good luck

But remember in 6.2 and 7 second differences could result in 2-3 car lenghts. Possibility? yes, definitely? no

 

between the auto and the 5 speed is not a 2 second differenc, its maybe half second... and his car should be rated at a 7.1 and the auto at 7.9 at the worst... It'll be a close race, but you should beat him... depends on who is the better driver,

 

Don't know where you we're confused, maybe just my wording.
I'm in an auto, he's got a 5 spd.
My car is still low 7 with auto 3.08 gears lol
