00tl-p Vs. Altima V6
Stopped by the street races this saturday...
I was trying to avoid this guy when he pulled up in his new Altima with his friend. I tried not to look over but he rolled down his windows and was screaming at me. So I thought why not... I'll probably lose anywayz...
Dont they have like 250 horses stock???
Well anyways, I powerbraked it. I launched crazy and took a car lead on him immediately. I reached about 80 and he was almost 3 car lengths behind me so i tapped on the brakes and hit the "emergencies" LOL! He flew past me as if we were still racing...
I thought maybe he messed up and wanted to race again... Turned out he was hella pissed and was a poor sport... He ignored me as i pulled up next to him...

AEM CAI / BYPASS VALVE

Not to burst your bubble but those new V6 (auto or manual) will run circles around a 2000 TL.
Auto V6 Altima = ~6.6 secs 0-60
Manual V6 Altima = ~5.9 secs 0-60

well no matter how good the cars are, you still gotta have some good drives to drive them well. numbers are numbers, but if the driver didn't powerbrake, launched badly, wheel spin too much, he's not going anywhere

From the numbers point of view, the Altima will out pace the TLP.
I don't doubt the race, but 3 car lengths by 80mph? Even with his mods, he's not running around 15.0 1/4mile time. He probably let off after a while because he thought he wasn't going to catch up.
In other words, he beat the driver, NOT the car.

I think MT got 0-60 times of 6.7seconds on the TL-P. No other publishers have gotten that close so it might have been a fluke car. I think others have gotten at best, 7.4seconds. I think MT got one of those Experimental Header cars.

I am just stating what I read from people that have the new Altima.Wake up and realize that we do not have the fastest car out there. There will always be someone faster than you.

Ok thats cool and all, but you shouldn't have posted "Not to burst your bubble..." That just sounded like you were there and his story didn't happen the way he said. It's nothing personal, but I wish that just like you stated those numbers freely, other people will be able to recount their kill stories without doubts or questions. After all, nobody else was there except the racer right?

Every race always comes down to the driver.
BTW, I can beat a Lamborghini if he accidently put it in reverse.
