anyway, let's save the 3 pages long debate, just cut the bs and get to the point:
basicly, you are saying, you can say your max will beat a M3, that's not full of it. but if altima people say altima can beat maxima, they are always full of it.
right?

we tell this person said that it's not possible and the person still insist that it is. a big post about who drove how and the driver didn't run race and etc...the person comes back with no proof but word of mouth. now what we're doing is a pulling the "spec sheet out"...
someone else posted that the Altima can out run a maxima...the sentra person said that's not possible..but at the same time the sentra is able to take out the maxima...which have less HPs than the Altima. the math doesn't add up..so people bring attention to it..that's all.
people's name were omitted..(made the story confusing)..
no flames intended..just informing the new people.

maybe you should ask russ why he felt the need to attack altima people.

I have to disagree
I know for a fact that an altima is just as fast or faster than our 2nd gens 
. Last year at a dyno meet I raced Ant97se in his altima with CAI and exhaust. I only had my CAI at the time. On the freeway his car would pull away from mine easily. However from a stop my car would pull away from his. ON the dyno I had like 3-4hp/20lb-ft more than him but I guess my car is alot heavier than his. My auto with just K&N panel was running like 17.2's at 78, stock auto altimas run the same or worse but with more trapspeed. But if you have a 5spd then you'd kill an auto altima. However you'd still get pulled by a 5spd altima

IMO, that altima probably pulled on the highway due to simple aerodynamics, somethign the 1st and 2nd gen have little to none of. i once read an article about police cars and there light bars, some cops will loose up to like 15 MPH off top speed due to the inefficiant design and aerodynamics of the lightbar. the square style of older max's is no help on the highway, so even with less power that altima did nto have to push as hard against wind as urs did.
