04 Altima 2.5 S vs CL 2.2 (Can I win?)

My boy is talking mad trash telling me he is bout to whop my ass LOL. I know if both of our cars are stock and race he will win. I also know even if I have bolt ons I might lose. Here are the specs

04 Altima 2.5 S Auto
Curb Weight = 3039 lbs
horsepower = 175@6000rpm
torque = 181@4000rpm
DOHC

Plus he is about 215lbs. He is going to have subs ect around 130 more lbs added to his car AND it is a auto like mine.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Acura CL 2.2 auto (specs without bolt ons)
Curb Weight = 3,009lbs
horsepower = 145@5500rpm
torque = 147@4500rpm
SOHC

I am about 130lbs. On my cl I have 2.5inch obx exhaust system, injen short ram intake and DC headers 4-2-1, no spare tire.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do I have a chance???

I would just take some of the air out of his front tires so that his air pressure is all wrong. haha, that, and take out your back seats, lose anyweight out of that car that you can. But you'll probably still lose. I don't know what to tell you, i guess just find a way to cheat, lol. Oh, and make sure your running on like 1/4 tank of gas for even less weight. Pay to get those cams and pukkies installed if you can, anything will help, but i still think it wont be a close race, although i have no idea how fast the 4 bangers are for the CL's.

Yea, give him more traction. Right, that will help you win.

Since you are both auto you should get whomped. My friend has an automatic and if you calculate the approx. powertrain loss of the auto vs. my manual, the Altima still wins by over 10 horses. If i get a chance this weekend I'll tell you how much faster they are.

Please do. Remember guys he is going to have a heavy ass car because he will have a fully built sub box and on top of that he weighs about 215 lbs. Me I weigh 130. Would that make any difference???

Not enough difference. You would get smoked. Sure they weight won't help him but he has more than enough hp to make up for it. 100lbs = 1/10th second. So the 70 lbs between you and him plus his subs is about 200-220 lbs, thats about .2, and he'll beat ya by more than that.
