The OP didn't really give a lot of information.
Maybe both were 6MT / the Altima's driver was horrible?

Altima 3.5 is pretty quick.

Isn't the Altima speed limited to 110mph?

I was trying to find a "speedchip" taken apart and I found this gem..
Here is the ebay listing: LINK
The best part is in the listing they say: "Our competitors won't show you what's in their speedchips because it's just a simple resistor.. but we do!" lol.. What we have here folks is a 20-pin DIP package chip. Now there are two wires to it and an IC needs power and ground which is more than likely the two connections. That means there's no output.. lol.. you'd be basically applying power to this 'chip' for no reason. Worst yet.. that backwoods soldering job could be bad and orientation could be off, which might cause this chip to overheat / melt / catch on fire / short out.. etc..
If you're "lucky" this could turn out to be a resistor array so instead of 1 resistor it's a chip of 10 resistors but only utilizing 1. This is hilarious.. please don't be fooled folks.
