a silver post 99 prelude tailgates me from a movie theater to a red light ,i speed to the last red light before route 46 to see if he's game and he stays right behind me.green light he stays right behind through 1st and 2nd and up comes a hard sweeping turn which i take doing about 55mph i can feel the tires just barely staying planted ,the prelude is about 2 cars behind. i stay in 2nd until the middle of the corner and it starts to straighten out and hammer to 3rd and and then i slow down after i hit 80mph at this point he's about 4 cars behind and trying to catch up .i don't know if it had vetec or not.

I out handled a 94-95 Prelude at about 90+mph through a twisty mountain section. However, I was driving my girlfriends Altima at the time.

He was also running with a late 70s Camaro and a '92+ Honda Accord EX. All ate my dust. They would all brake into the corners and I just cruised passed without even touching the brakes. That Altima had a light confidence inspiring feel to it.

BTW I rarely see Maximas at any of these events, some support in Autocross from other Maximas might be nice. My Partner is an avid autocrosser and him and his crew of Subies always end up finishing in the top. I got so many comments at my first autocross about why a family sedan ?
When I hard charged the cones, and showed them what I coul do, they understand its not the car, its the driver. I co-drove my friends WRX, and I beat his times consistently except for one off-course when I took a turn too deep, and managed to spin out a WRX.

-SCCA.org, join the fun.
soon... i'll be knockin cones over left and right.. i might need a new bumper after

Aerodynamics ~!!~!~!~

what are you smoking, forget aerodynamics, instead of the bumper being there, put a Dirt Devil Vacumn Cleaner and connect the hosing to your intake and we'll see whats up, AeroDynamics or a 100 dollar supercharger.
