The shot of NOS should put you across the finish line I believe. Sounds like you should be able to hang with him, then punch the NOS about 250 yards before the finish line and smoke him.

Check the "Racing and Competition" sub-forum. They love these questions.

Give me the power to weight ratios of both cars in their current state and then give me the gearing ratios for both cars and transmission types and I can tell you who should win on paper. But ultimately its probably a drivers race.

even without the nos you could stay with him and even beat him if you out drive him.

oh you have a MT correct? His car will run probably like 14.3 - 14.2 at best.

You should be in the 13's with a 75 shot and should be able to beat him if you use it.

There are a couple threads about SE-R altimas versus the TL and the TL would beat an AT SE-R. A SE-R Altima isn't that fast or at least not much faster than the base altimas due to the added weight.

with a 75 shot you will beat him easily no question about it. Not really a fair race IMO.

If you look at the time he posted before the race and after... you'd realize he wa sprobably joking. 4:07 pm-6:47 PM.. he probably didn't even race yet.
