altima pulles hard to 145mph stock, :eek:
My old 4th gen dosent even compare to how fast and how smooth the new altima is. It also handles alot better then my old max. to you just have to get the hang of the independant rear supension and the sensitive steering.

I've never had my car to 145mph, but it pulls effortlessly to 120-125mph in 4th. So effortlessly in fact that I've pulled a couple of my friends in their stock and lightly modified auto 95 Z28s. From 0-60 they get me, but after that I creep up and start walking them after 90mph.
I have no doubt the new Altima hauls.

Was your 4th gen stock or modded?? With Y pipe and CAI, my car pulls in 4th and 5th gear, past 140 mph. Before the Y pipe, it would still get to 140+, but not in so much a rush.

I drove a 3.5SE 5speed in Bountiful, UTAH at Jerry Seiner Nissan, and Merging from redwood Rd onto 215 the to I-15 I hit 128mph! The Sales guy was eggin me on! That car is VERY fast, faster feeling to me by far than the used 01 SE 5spd I considered buying. It was funny, when I left the dealer the trip computer said we were 26 miles from empty. My test was about 8 miles long, and about 6 miles into it (shortly after my 128mph blast) it was flashing empty!
I will still buy a used Max, can't afford a new one, or a 3.5SE. I intend to buy an 01 GLE auto in Merlot this weekend.
Effortless, running about 100mph at the merge, thought 110 would be nice, past that in a heartbeat, 120 came quick, thought 125 would be awesome (meanwile I am telling the sales guy- rather sales kid- to look at the speedo the whole time, so he could tell the other gys that he saw for himself!) Anyway, 125 came, went, 128 and I hit the brakes to slow for the merge onto I-15! Ran that merge at over 100mph. Utah peeps will know where I am talking about. No lie.
