View Full Version : Black Altima 3.5 thought he would show off...

So tonight was a rather boring/uneventful evening. So while in this somewhat depression state, I decided instead of laying around doing absolutely nothing worthwhile around the house or enhancing my intellectual thought, I should go out for a little spin in the cool, 70 degree weather here with a crystal clear sky:)

Not necessarily in the mood to play, but an adrenaline rush would hit the spot really well if the situation presented itself.

Windows are down, sunroof is back, listening to some fine tunes, Seether w/ Amy Lee- Broken, was the song of choice on this fabulous night. I'm driving mildly aggressive, I'd say about 50mph in a 30mph zone when I notice an Altima pull out of the local McDonald's by my house. I didn't think much of it, although the bright Zenon lights were piercing to the eye and the zims were no less than "bling, bling".

I keep my pace and he makes the right behind me, following. We get to a light and he's flashing me from some odd apparent reason. It was a two lane road, so I decide to pull over since this light is always rather long and exhausting. He pulls next to me and as I just get to notice the loud exhaust and that it's a 3.5, he rolls his passenger window down. Mid 30's or so character with his female friend...not very attractive looking to say the least.

Him: " Nice car...you done anything to it?"

Me: " I'm pretty modded"

Him: "Oh yea...my buddy has one of them and I smoke him every time we go out."

Me: "Oh really? You would probably smoke him since he's not racing..." :devillook

Him: " Wanna give it a couple? "

Me: "Sure, why not. Follow me and we'll do two runs...one from 10mph, another from 40mph"

I pull off and start making my way to the strip I know of real close to my house; hardly ANY traffic around during this time of night. The gentleman is driving pretty wrecklessly and is close to me as well. I thought nothing of it as I'm getting ready to eat :evil2

So we get to the strip and this guy tells his girl to get out of the car. Come on, man, it's that important that you gotta let your girl out? So me, being the nice guy, tell her if she wants, she can get in my car so she's not standing alone. She agrees and gives her bf a "look" as in you're not getting any tonight. So I was "somewhat" of a handicap because I had an extra passenger, but whatever.

We pull out onto the road and I pull my window down and tell him to honk it off so he doesn't say I got a head start. 10mph, holding 1st gear steady, foot ready to mash the throttle and I hear these words, "please kick my bf's ass so he shuts up about that ugly ass car"...I start laughing hysterically :lol and almost lose it...if she was hot I'd bang her...

1 honk....2 honk...adrenaline rushing...3 honk! But he got the slight jump, but it was no contest. I pulled about a 1/2 car through 1st gear, slam 2nd gear and it was all over. 4G...5G...6G...he was 2 cars back...slam 3rd gear and wind out to the middle or so and he was a good 4 cars back.

He gets next to me and gives me a thumbs up...his gf is talking to me about how much he spends on the car and not on her, she was getting quite annoying, but I was being the "nice guy" tonight.

I tell him one more from 40mph...the stretch is a sweet, 8 mile road, so plenty more space.

This time I said I'd give him the jump. He obliges. 1...2...3! He gets about a car up and I gun it like no tomorrow, for all the women with big boobs out there, I just GUN IT! By 6G I was even with him. Pummel it into 3rd and again start leaving him hard...5G...6G...almost 7G and pump her into 4th to about 110 and let off...he was WAAAAAAY back...easy 5-6 cars.

We pull aside and he gets out of his car with pure amazement on his face...it was simply priceless. His girl had this big smile on her face...she got out of my car and said, why don't you buy a car like this that's actually fast. He got really pissed when she said that and said let's go.

She turned around and shook my hand and said, "thanks a lot for being a man" and gave me this big smile. He didn't even say goodbye and just sat his car and left. Oh well...

There's is no prize like a man's gf paying more attention to another guy and burning his a$$ right there on the spot...it was great!:)

***Anyway, for those that know my kill stories...I usually say what's next for the car at the end.

Head is coming off for valves, retainers, guides/keepers, lifters, and the BIG BOYS...Schrick cams to be installed :redspot :redspot

Then off to Mr. Chuck Stickley for a nice, custom dyno tune to see what my car can really do. ***

Most 3.5 comes in Auto. 3.5 Altima might have the Tq to pull, but with Auto there's little he can do with it. Manual M's can pull down a 3.5 with the basic upgrade. I race one before with my 328 and I can say he didn't pull on me but I was unable to pull on him either, so we call it dead even :) BTW. 1995 M3 comes with a 3.0L not 3.2L ;)

Now if its was a 3.5L manual, then it would been a close race. But I still edge on the M's to win.

Nice race though, at least you race some where there's no traffic.

This 3.5 was a manual...he was shifting.

As far as spending more money on the car than her...from what I could tell, like I said, intake and exhaust. The car had a lot of bling...rims, lights were changed, some body work etc. I don't know exactly how modded he was though.

I also don't know how good he was with driving the car. He didn't miss a gear or grind or anything, so I don't think he was that bad.

I had a very similar experience me and two buddies were cruising in the M3, cool night, we pull up to a 3.5 stick maxima and we know this guy is going to go for it. I put about a length and a half on him with just intake and the URI pulley for 0-120. I had a full tank and two passengers. We stopped at about 120mph and then he started his crazy traffic weaving, passing on the shoulder, etc.

I haven't raced an Altima yet but I have killed many a 350z so I would think an Altima would be no problem.

You're talking about the new Z's ? Because the new Z's will own a 1995 M3's, unless you mod. And even then, you might still get owned. Have you seen the new Z's, they are awsome machine :eek: . Nissan is finally playing catch up with all them Imports. :)

Yeah, nice kill man. MT said that the 3.5 Altima 5-speed was the fastest family car they ever tested...very quick. They were able to get a 0-60 time of 5.85 secs, but I mean, those don't play a huge role when racing, it has a lot to do with the driver, wieight, reaction time, etc. Still, very nice kill, and like someone else said, "even with his dead weight!" :)

An altima is not the fastest sedan Motort Trend ever tested, you forgot the M3 4 door and S4. Good kill btw.

He said «family car», not sedan. They probably meant a FWD car that has no sport intentions.

So anyway good kill. These Altimas and the Maximas (especially the previous gen, 6-speed models), are damn quick.

Well, it was tested as the fastest Front Wheel Drive sedan! Not overall sedan back then. Now it would be the fastest 2004 Accord V6 stick.

Overall sedan would now be the 2004 E55 AMG all round.:D
