Okay,It's 2a.m. Im on my home and im taking the highway. Im doin about 70mph. and all of a sudden this 2000 Altima SE, wizzez by me. Then he slows down until we are right next to each other. we both doin 75mph And this kid goes behind me and high beams me to race. I was like are you jokin? I was like no way man, and then for get about it, step step on it, and Im doin 110, and I see his headlights wayyyyy behind. I kept goin 110 and this kid starts gainin on me. I was like what da? so pressed the gas even harder and then, im doin 125.... 30 seconds later, this kid is next too me. I could hear the nissan roar in both our cars. Then I pressed on it as hard as I can, and then i read 132 on my odometer. and then he started to fade and i don't see him anymore.... ALTIMA=125MPH????? NEWS TO ME

I was on RT 24 in SE Mass late one nite (around 2 am) and an Altima came up on me as I was cruising around 85 mph. I leaned on it some more and pulled away from him, but holding it over 100, the guy was still coming! Just like you said, I had to hold it around 130 to finally shake him. I was amazed how fast that car was. I figure he had it to the boards and kept it at 125 or so. Mad props to the Altima.

My girlfriend has a 2000 altima and I have driven it to 100 easily--not a problem. The only thing is the engine isn't as smooth as the vq that is in the Maxima. The 2.4L 4 does produce a good amount of torque and hp, but it is rough I say--and have to say the Honda 4 cylinder engines are more refined.
In any case, the altima is a pretty fast and decent handling car...
but this newer generation 2000 altima is based a lot on the 4th generation max though...

I used to have a 91 Stanza, which had an earlier version of the KA24E engine that I think the Altima has now.

While it was not nearly as smooth or refined as the VQ, it was quick. I belive that the stock hp on that engine was 138 and 148 fl-lb's. While it was no Max...any 4-banger Accord or Civic ( I don't see many heavily modded Civics around here ) where not really much of a challenge for the car.

I had that car a little over 125 and I think it had more in it....strange...that car could go faster than my max ( GXE w/limiter )

My g/f has a 4-banger accord, and it shouldn't be much of a challenge. The fastest car that I beat ( in my Stanza ) was my roommates 88 Olds Cutlas Supreme ( Bored to something like 3.4?? ). I opened about two cars to 70 and then he started to pull me in.

I miss that car. It was fun.

Sjit, honda's built in the eighties with 120 or fewer orses and no torque could beat 120. Just ask anyone in a Chevy who's tried to keep up.

I want to tell you a story about the 88 Olds Cutlas Supreme. Let's just say, I was shockked. My friend had this car and we were just driving and then I jet. I was goin 120 and then he slowly came next to me. I was like "hUh?" I was so shocked that thing could come close to 120. It wasn't even in good condition. i looked like sh*t.
