Run in with Altima 2.5 S
 

I noticed him coming up fast bheind so I got over and ropped to thrid gear to get ready. He comes up and I get on it. So does he. We were pretty mcuh even from 75 - 110mph. I may have been edging a little, but it was hard to tell.

But we came to a long sweeping off ramp that is marked for a Max Speed of 40MPH. I already knew I could take it a 75. He never caught up after that.

Did you happen to notice if it was a 5spd? Although we all know there are some automatic driver who like to "shift" as well.

Racing is bad, you can kill someone, what were you thinking taking a 40 mph turn at 75 mph, what were you thinking going 110 on a public highway, you should be removed from the gene pool for racing...

good kill

:wall:

show me a private highway.
:o

show me a valid driver's license.
:o

i can beat that, but im a nice person.

Man those are like 8.7 to 60mph in auto and the manual isnt that much faster, you should have been able to take that without a prob.http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/roadt...5/article.html

Are there any private roads or highways in NYC or Long Island?

Dont believe magazine times...Car and Driver reported 0-60 in 8.1 for my car...but I g-teched it at 6.7...so draw your own conclusions...

Plus, they only have 10 HP less than my car. Soo if the driver was a skinny dude, unlike me, that would have made up for that. I definitely feel that the 2.5 altima is a run for a stock engined 4th gen like myself.

Altima 2.5S:
Manual: 3046 lb
Auto..: 3095 lb

I think a 4th Gen auto is somewhere around 3060-3080 or so, depending on the year and equipment.

As Bags would say:

"SMC for life!"

:D

Does this "highway" happen to be the I-85 interchange with I-65 South bound?:D (I REALLY like that turn - 40mph:rolleyes: )

Yes it does :D
