This is me spanking a new 02 alty that had the air resonator off and 100lbs of less passengers versus me bone stock (except clear side markers) and about 100lbs more worth of passengers. Enjoy!

Hey bro, r u at work?
well I got ashley's videos from last night and uploaded them. Here more vids of SmokinOdum racing the new Altima 3.5 5spd and our buddys i/h/e Prelude. Theres one of us with 2 extra passengers against a moddest Mustang GT (he barely beats us at the end)

nice vid, my favorite part is:

passenger: "did you miss a gear?"

driver:"naw"

 

nice, wheres dave b.?

 

You should email these to SCC... MAX RULES!

 

Yeah im at work, its getting busy now.. i hope it doesnt rain tonight at sonic...
is it this crappy computer or does ashleys videos look choppy and not as clear?

I started laughin my @*** of here at work when i heard peeter say "did u miss gear?" HAHAHA

Oh and before I forget.. it was nice meeting everyone at Chedder's last night in Dallas.

 

hah yeah. i replayed that part for my roommate. made me smile

 

yeah, the vids Ashley made r encoded like Weaksauce. They R kinda choppy in some parts and u cant make the window very big without it
going blurry.

Weather.com says it should be clear tonight. You gotta goto sonic man, Joseph is bringing his daddy's CL-S and wants a piece of the Maxipad I'll make sure Guy brings the VidCam hehe

 

No doubt writing a long winded post about how the Altima driver clearly wasn't as good as the Maxima driver.

Stereodude

 

"Did you miss a gear?"..No, you just got smoked ..

 

Was the alty a 2.5?

 

Cool videos

 

Nah, the Altima looks like it had HID's. On one of the video's, you can see the Altima rims showing its a 3.5

How come the sound comming from the Prelude is flat? It doesn't sound like its revving hard or fast.

n/m I donwloaded the last one...Prelude sounds much better

 

one thing about recording...

people have this wierd urge to zoom when they have the camera...

zooming = newb technique you need to have the car keep up more and record it that way

 

what is your deal Maxtor, do you have to always criticize the kills? First you didnt believe it was a real Mustang GT, now u dont believe its a 3.5 Altima? well, i ASSURE you it was indeed a 3.5 V6 5speed Altima. ScreaminVQ pointed out things you might observe in the video if you take a closer look to indicate it really is a 3.5.

Want more proof? Check out this post on altimas.net where the driver of the Altima posted his videos of the race and you can read his side of the story:

http://www.altimas.net/forum/showthr...threadid=34733

Also, sorry we werent the ones filming the videos it was our friends. The Prelude was just there to film and wasnt going "all out" except for in one video I think he actually launched and wanted 2 see how well he could hang. We are all amateurs, but thanks for the tip. We just do it for fun ya know

 

What's kinda funny, the Altima board is saying they had a passenger as well, and the guy didn't know how to drive, so when they switched they still lost. They are making excuses. It's obviously the Maxima kept pulling away. It just stronger and possibly better gearing.

 

Make sure he drags it properly as well. The Type-S is hard to drag or roll in that dumb 5speed auto.

D1-D5 is a must, no SS or D5 mode in drag racing. VSA off. Once it hits 6800 in 1st he needs to slide it over to 2nd or it will hit the limiter. 2-3 4-5 he can figure that out, hold it to redline 7100. And just stab it off the line, no torque braking. If its a Roll, manually shift down to the gear that is needed. SS has a point where it won't let the car shift down properly and it loses alot of rpms that it needs for its powerband, so its very hard to say where to start from.

 

hehe alright Russ. my folks have a 2002 TL-S and we have done a few GTECH runs to figure out how to get most of the potential out of it so I am pretty familiar on the techniques. I will be sure to pass along the info to Joseph but I think he knows most of that already.
We'll prolly get the vids of what happens 2night uploaded within a day or 2 if u wanna check back.

 

No crap, it kind of sickens me. They make up all the BLAH BLAH excuses, even after the video. They criticize phatguy before about his excuses, they should see themselves post. What a bunch of whiners and babies.

 

Hehe exactly!

 

well peetur, the driver, told those Altima ppl to chill out. he wasnt making any excuse about passenger weight and even said they had teh advantage there because the altima had 2 short skinny azn dudes that are about 100lbs a piece.

My brother and I were in the Maxima i am 160 and he is 170lb so they had a good 100+lb weight advantage!

 

Yeah, he's saying that but everyone else is blaming the loss on their bad shifting.... What more proof can you have , it's on video and YOU LOST !..."uuhh did you miss a shift .."..<------- Funniest thing on the ORG in a long time !!

 

 

Russ:

There is one thing that I've even heard you say and I trully belive in. When one is street racing, the launch is VERY important. It is belived that the 5sp alty and 6sp max are very close, but just forget out that for a sec. Lets line up 2 identical 6sp max's with identical drivers with ONE difference. Lets say car A gets a better launch than car B. Car A jumps ahead say a half a car is now traveling FASTER than car B, but now the spining has stopped and they are both accelerating at the SAME rate. Same car, same drivers, they both pull identical G forces. But car A keeps pulling away...how is that?

Answer: Even though they are both accerating at the same rate, the other car will always be 2mph(sake of argument) faster and therefore always "covering" more ground per second, and always pulling away.

This is why street racing is 1. so unpredictable, 2. highly in accurate, 3. great amusement for bbs's

Can somebody sticky my post? Do y'all atleast understand what I'm talking about?

 

your 100% correct.

 

Yep, but they also did a few roll on races...and that takes the launch out of the picture.

 

True, but even from a roll...how do you know they both hit it at the exact same time. I am by no means defending the altima, but in both stoplight races it seems the maxima leaves first, and in the roll it sounds like max hits it first, but its really hard to tell with bad sound and they were done at night.

Couple other things:

Since 2 g35's went down to two tl-s's, then I guess that means that they are faster! WHO CARES Both are real simmilar in the hp and times department. And don't you think the theories I oulined above apply there?

 

this is very true. I just raced my friends new WRX (stock) and every time he took me off the line by 3 car lengths. After the initial 3 cars we would both shift into second at the same time. BUT he would still be pulling on me because of his 'inertia' of the push from the luanch. By 100mph I was only able to stop his pull, then make up 1 car length. And he would still be ahead when we let off.

Now.. to also disagree.... there were some times in the race (that you did not see) where he got the jump and I actually still pulled slightly on him.

 

hey Burton069! you're like 2 blocks from my house! that's right by LACMA! craziness... is that M3 yours?

 

In that last race when he actaully was racing the Lude he was giving it its all, and it sure was making alot of racket. I couldnet get use to all that noise VTEC or not.

 

Amen!!!

I've beaten 13-second cars on the street and on the track. These videos prove nothing. Go on believing the Maxima is a quicker car, but it's not. Both cars weigh the same, have nearly the same gearing, same dynoed power, and same track performance. There are guys running 14.0-14.3@96-99mph in Altima 5 speeds. How is this any quicker than a Maxima that runs 14.2-14.4@96-98mph?


Dave

 

opinion: the max looks better than the altima
opinion: the altima looks better than the max
opinion: one is faster than the other
fact: the altima has a cheap plastic interior design
fact: the max in this video was faster than the altima in this video, maybe the altima'll win in another one

 

Must have been the clear side markers that put you over the top

 

Maybe dave will finally understand that.

The guys on www.altimas.net are at best running 14.4+ in their STOCK Altimas. Even the guy who claimed to have ran 13.9 got 14.4 later with an intake.

Oh yes Dave, we MUST lower the Altima times just for you to prove your point You think your way, we think our way. Stop trying to prove anything. As you can see, your NOT getting anywhere.

As much as I respect you and your opinion, you seem to NOT respect our opinions.

 

Haha love the sig.

 

I just read it too, it was funny.

But in all pratical purposes, the Maxima is a pratical family car, and to young people its a sports car as well when its not.

Go figure.

 

I don't think people thing of it as a "sports car," but it is sporty. Nice acceleration, good handling. I mean it won't pull a G on the skidpad, but it does stand out among other sedans. Anyway with the Maxima/Altima debate, I don't understand what all the fuss is about. They are both great cars, made by same company. Personally I like the Max better, but thats just my opinion.

 

LOL I wish it was my M3. Actually I stole that pic from someone on Cardomain. I like it, but nah, I live in Brooklyn and drive an I30. (check profile)

 

He ran the 14.4 in the rain!

What's WRX forum web site anyone knows? I raced one here in N Dallas, Plano area and one of them was video taping it. Despite on my heavy wheels, I pulled on him almost a car lenght, ( well we started racing at approx going 30 mph) so I just wanted to see maybe that video is on their forum...
