thebigevilfoot Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Me and a bud in school started to debate on whos car will win off the line for lets say 1/4 of a mile, I seemed to prove my stuff right but he was convinced, so I was wondering what you guys have to say about this matchup.

dudeondacouch Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I'm at a loss as to why you would even need to ask this. Not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GULLABLE0NE Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 i think it would be closer than you think Altima SE-R FWD, 3.5L V6, 6MT 3380lbs curb weight 260 hp/ 251 tq 6.1 - 0-60 14.8 - 1/4 mile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudeondacouch Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 he said the SE-R was A/T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Most auto altima se-rs get a 2.3 60 foot, the 5eat can get much better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GULLABLE0NE Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 he said the SE-R was A/T i was simply stating the facts i could track down in reference to the model, couldn't find any AT info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhook Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Most auto altima se-rs get a 2.3 60 foot, the 5eat can get much better than that. As he's suggesting . . . you best boost launch it to at least get a lead off the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I just said that since he asked who would win off the line as well as the 1/4mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GULLABLE0NE Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 i think you should take him in both, but he should jammed up your rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhook Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I just said that since he asked who would win off the line as well as the 1/4mile. Without a boost launch, he may very well loose off the line if the Altima lays down a 2.3. My stage 2 5EAT yielded a 2.378 60' with just a "mash the gas" start. With a launch it was between 1.9-2.0 with the RE92's spinning through the last 3K of first gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JessterCPA Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I thought the SE-R was only available in a 6mt....no auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyGTBiggie Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 There's more to the SE-R than power, though -- you also get a stiffer suspension, jazzed-up interior complete with leather seats, 18" wheels and performance tires, some extra body cladding, and a 6-speed manual transmission (a 5-speed automatic is a no-cost option) Automatics are available. cars.about.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2.3 time is the nissan stalling off the line aswell. and if your racing why wouldnt you boost launch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigevilfoot Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 I thought the SE-R was only available in a 6mt....no auto. If that's the case then I guess he has just the v6 altima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I imagine most would unless they didn't understand how to or were afraid of toasting the trans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbone Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Opie, I walked an SE-R from a 35mph roll in my 5EAT when I was Stage 1, which was just a Cobb reflash. And I walked him quite easily. The guy had an intake. Stock for stock it will be a close race. If you do a roll race, he has every chance of beating you. Take comfort in the fact that the LGT handles better and it will be no contest in the snow, not to mention that the mod potential is definitely on the LGT's side. What I thought was sad was the fact that I was able to even out-brake him even though SE-Rs come with Brembos and I was on the stock pads and crappy stock tires. Take it to a track and find out. Honestly if I were in your situation I'm not sure how comfortable I would be with me winning. If you want to seal his fate, get a Stage 1 tune from someone here for cheap. Subscribed for results.

mustangendsley Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 why compare a good subaru to a crappy se-r nissan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
