2006 Nissan Altima SE-R with an intake i would like to know because my buddy wants to race me For gas money so i did not quite agree yet so i would like to know your opinons...oh and by the way im a 5AT he is also...

 

oh yeahh i forgot to add i have 3rd Gen TL not 2nd lol

 

2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R 7.2 15.4
2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V 7.3 15.6

i dont know how much nissan has changed the 06, but you should be able to put foot to ass.

 

Haha he said altima not sentra. I say its a drivers race since hes also a auto.

 

2005 Nissan Altima Se-R 6.1 14.8 (C&D Sept '05)

like he said, drivers race.....a 6MT TL would do better than a 5AT tho

 

Bone stock 6 mt ran a 14.6 after driving the car for 1 week so its all a matter of who can drive.

 

Well, this is quite the dilemma. According to track tests by Car and Driver, the two cars are very similar in performance. I only quote C&D because they use a uniform set of rules when testing acceleration used with each test car. That being said, the SE-R and TL that were tested were both manual transmissions with factory tires. The TL has a slightly faster 0-60 time in the tests, but the TL also benefits from a limited slip differential (which the SE-R does not). But in your case, both cars being an automatic and without the limited-slip differentials, the SE-R may have the advantage.

There is only one way to find out though! (do it on a closed track)

 

Welcome to the site! This thread needs to be in Racing and Competition...

Just in case--------------->https://acurazine.com/forums/a-24/

 

I reopened it. Sorry guys, I forgot we could move them to this forum

 

AT vs AT, my money would be on the stock SE-R vs the I/E 3G. MT vs MT is a driver's race.

BTW, C/D seems to always report slower than average times on most VQ35DE applications. (I still recall them posting a 14.7sec ET for the 5.5G Maxima 6MT.....when I posted that in my 5.5G 4AT stock.) But in fairness to C/D, most new VQs are slower when green but measurably quicker/faster after break in.

 

wow, I thought the m/t was faster than that, my stock 04 5at turned 14.9 with a 2.2 60' . Did you stay in 3rd, or go to 4th? I guess Ill keep the auto.

 

btw, I would say it is an even race.

 

Thanks alot guys yeah i am kinda new at this and im at a pretty young age lol im very into cars and the TL is my first car...and my buddy has the Altima SE-R is hes first car and i was like he wen we get our cars lets race so i just wanted to know before i raced him

 

You could take him. I raced one when I was stock and beat it by quite a bit.

 

An Altima SER will take your 5AT with just intake and exhaust provided he can drive. I wouldnt race him for money until you have a little more done to the motor!

 

you have to understand that the tires came with the 5AT TL are horrible. You're gonna chip like no tomorrow off the line. I honestly think it's 50/50, but I would give the Altima the edge.

Remember to be smart and race safely. Good luck and let us know the result.

 

I thought the Altima SE-R only came in 6mt?

 

They are availabe with a 6MT or 5AT.

 

IF it s a 5AT then you have a chance. If its a 6Mt then i think you will lose. I have seen those pull 14.0's and 13.90's at the track stock.

 

Surprising. Why would they do that?

 

i raced a SER w/ intake from a 5mph roll and he pulled half a car but my 2gen was stock at the time, i havent found anyone to race since then

 

2006 SE-R should win.

They're actually pretty damn quick.

But ugly as hell.

 

altimas are fugly

 

Sales?


And that is exactly why they sell so poorly!!

 

I have been on there Forum before and there are guys running low 14s stock...14.1 14.2...it will be close but I think Altima

 

I think the SE-R should pull ahead from a dead stop...

Either way, leave plenty of space between the two of you for the torque steer!

 

since I have both cars, well my brother the se-r and mine the 04 tl both auto,

he would win trust me.

 

WOW that is jus crazy those are 2 cars i realli wanted lol How much did he beat u buy?

 

Dude...do yourself a HUGE favor and DON'T RACE!! When I was like 21 I had a Mazda RX-7 I put in a ditch doing stupid crap..nearly totalled the car thank god no one was hurt. Especially when you're younger this can happen oh so easily... and the TL is faster than my RX-7 ever was...this car is a beast and can kill you..it's fast.

Sorry if this sounds like a rant but I just picture me being 21 out racing and someone getting hurt or killed!

 

since u guys are both new at this theres a lot of room for error. even tho i do street race myself i strongly suggest u guys not do it on the street and take it to the track. call me a hiporcite if u must but there is alot of things that can go wrong on the street such as other cars and their drivers. its not worth wrecking ur TL over a race, besides its never fun explainin to ur rents how wrecked it, trust me i have already had that convo when i wrecked my 3 series going around a corner hitting a guard rail while racing my friends A-SPEC and im pretty expirienced at street racing its something we do every weekend here. but it just goes to show no matter how expirienced u are, something could go wrong.

 

sick types you sound veery educated.

and YES the altima will beat you. happened to me. that was when i was a stocky n00b. now i whoop it. and yeh he does have intake, thats it though.
