CLS v.s. 08 Altima & 08 Camry
If anyone has driven from Las Olas to Miami you know it's about a 40 minute drive with traffic. So I'm cruising at 90mph to make it to the clubs in time when my first victim was somebody in an 08 Altima. I checked the rear trunk lid and didn't see any SE-R type badging but this person is still egging me on. The tint was jet black and I couldn't tell if it was a guy or a woman. Whoever it was they had a lot of confidence in their car. Anyways, the person keeps baiting me and baiting me till I finally gate shifted into third. We're side-by-side all the way up to 115 when he slowly fades away and I'm gaining 5 to 6 carlengths.
I'm in Fort Lauderdale when an 08 Camry blasted right by me. I catch up to him and he lines up with me. He shot off about 4 carlenths ahead of me when I gate shifted down to 3rd and reeled him in. The Camry was a little harder to beat but I chopped him down at 127.

SideSwipe you sound like you drive like a crazy ass lol...not saying that I don't or haven't before...127 on the highway with other people around is risky though. If you like to take your car to the max I don't see the harm in getting some OBX/SS headers for 150 bucks = 25-30 whp. Both those cars are 3.5's so they have more tq than us, blah blah...I still like the look of the 3G TL/2g CL/new Accord over the Camry or Altima/Maxima. The Altima coupe kindalooks like a cross between the RSX and G/Z. They are supposed to run the 1/4 in mid 14's, I have actually heard that the CVT is faster at highway speeds than the 6MT.

I haven't seen one owner take their altima coupe down the track yet but the 07+ altima Sedan 6MT is a low 14 second car. Best I have seen is 14.1@100MPH for the 6MT. The best CVT time I have seen is 14.9@93mph for the new 07 altima. I know it can run faster but not enough people have taken the new altima to the track yet.

I believe low 14's for the 6MT Altima in the quarter, they are <3300lbs IIRC. My friend actually just bought a new Altima CVT and she let me drive it on the highway, it felt very close to as fast as the I/H CLs from 55-90. I don't know how the CVT does on the dyno, but I had assumed that if the max GR is say 2.70, that you could do what would be a normal 3rd gear pull on the highway (like I did) and it would drop all the way to a 2.70 GR? That is why I thought the CVT may be faster on the highway, and also because my friend who is all about the Asian cars claimed he had evidence...

If you think I drive crazy, then you obviously haven't driven on I-95 around the Fort Lauderdale and Miami areas between 1am and 3am. I've had guys pass by me in modded BMW's, Porsches, Vettes, and sport bikes like I was standing still even though I was doing 120mph. Besides, there are stretches of I-95 that are wider and just as smooth as the track at the Talladega raceway. You can hit 140mph and feel like you're only doing 65mph, which you know isn't hard to do in a CLS. And I have Fusion ZRi tires, which gives me all the more confidence.
