No we will take a shit on them. Wait untill the supercharged, twin turboed, air to methyl-hydrogen intercooler type-r version comes out. Then they might be in our league. As it stands, we are the fastest two door in the world, and it will take a lot more than 3.5 liters to stop that.

Wow that's the biggest bunch of lies ever, even if you are joking.

Anyway, the funny thing is 95% of the new Altimas on the street are the weak 4cyl 2.5 version.

5 speed 3.5 altima is faster than an auto cl-s, stock for stock.

auto cl-s vs. auto 3.5 would be a good race though.

5 speed 3.5 vs. 6speed cl-s also would be a good race.


i hope to see an altima next time i'm at the strip.

Auto Altima or Auto Maxima, 2k2 they are comp, but we will walk away once we are moving. They have low traps, 90-94 average, and 14.9-15.3 for stock.

Maximas are running these same times as well...see here:

Auto Maximas modded will hit more 14s than 15s.

Auto Altimas and Maximas are not as fast as a auto CL-S. There trap speeds are lower than the CL-S. I've beaten a auto 2002 Maxima...I pulled in the higher RPMs. Funny thing about it is Maxima people laughed at the CL-S when it only dynoed 200hp...the 2002 6 sp Maxima only dyno's at 205-210hp, the auto even less.
