1/4 mile times ... where does the A/C fit in????

[rjdmmfl1]

Hey folks, I posted this in another thread, but there's so much stuff there, I thought I'd post it in its own thread. I just found the A/C to be in pretty good company ... keep in mind these are all stock!!

1/4 mile times for various stock cars...

2003 Infiniti G35 coupe ........14.6.......100.1,ph2008 Altima coupe.................14.8.......96.9mph2007 Lexus Sc 430................14.8.......96.3 mph2003 Infiniti G35 Sedan........14.9.......96mph1995 Ford mustang Cobra.....15.12.....96 mph2002 Acura RSX (typeR).........14.92.....96.5mph2001 Audi TT Roadster ..........15.00....90.8 mph

[mcheddadi]

nice post! but the coupe can actually do better than 14.8 on stock form, 14.2 sec! Man, such a great car

drag times detailed:zerothread/276045

0-60 times of a gazillion cars that can be sorted by all column categories (just click on the column name at the top), great to compare the coupe to other cars:http://www.performancecarnews....Table

Generic lets be fair here ok . A/C vs an STi HA HA HA ..... STi meant/procuded for hardcore driving cant beat AWD for rallying !how about compare 2 similar classed cars A/C vs plain WRX not STi ........ now from past experience with my bone stock 04 auto Maxima I beat an 04 Wrx 5spd. And I wholeheartedly feel my A/C is a bit faster then the MaxiSo plz lets compare apples to apples besides we all know that if the powers to be at Nissan wanted to beat the STi in a stock configured car that that would not even be an issue for a company that has coming from racing roots . But this is only a very small market and there is no money for them at this time .

don't mind him leeroy300, he's just being a clown

we all know that you can't compare oranges and apples (in stock form at least)

I had a 04 3.5SE (that awesome VQ *drools* ) Maxi too, it was the 6sp one. When I gave her back, the manual transmission was completely trashed lol Nissan's VQ is one hell of a nice motor!

leeroy, it's just an ongoing thing we have in another thread about the STi and Altima. Some seem to think just slapping a turbo on an altima will make it a race car, which is NOT true. They are NOT in the same class. oh well...

[mcheddadi]

no one said that. What we said is that a 448hp turbo on the coupe is AWESOME

and that it's possible to make the altima coupe into an awesome race car!

You are the one who is mixing the two statements.

[generic808]

mcheddadi, you should just hurry up and get everything installed. I'd like to see the finished product and the total cost. And the headaches you'll have to go through

[SHIFT_2.5S]

mcheddadi is disillusioned to the point where he can't control himself anymore. Even if you slap 7 turbos onto the Altima, it will never be a TRUE race car. End of argument.

Hey, only happy thoughts on my thread... lol

I was having a bad day, since work followed me home and decided to beat me up. But your post just changed all that.

Ha!

Not to disparage the Coupe, but would you really want to put that much horsepower down in a FWD car? Not saying that it couldn't be done with an LSD, but would you rather put 448hp down to the front wheels or the through an AWD system?

You're right. It seems like asking too much from a FWD drive car. I would definitely rather see that on a more balanced platform such as AWD, especially on a track.

[mcheddadi]

whatever...

[SHIFT_2.5S]

whatever...

What I'm saying is pure physics, logic, and track testing. If you think 448hp in a FWD is optimal, then by all means, install that turbo and let her rip. Then we'll see what happens. You have all the freedom that you need to get the job done. But there's a difference between actually risking and doing something like that, and typing away on a forum about how cool it is to have 9999hp in an Altima.

hmmmm, yes. I concur.

[cliffy21]

Let's put it this way: For a mid-size family type car that can be purchased in either sedan or coupe, with CVT or 6MT, it is one of the fastest available. I'm impressed that it can even hold it's own with cars like Mustang. A guy driving an Automatic Mustang would have to drive well to stay ahead of a new Altima.

When you factor in it's price, it's a damn good setup. A lot of the car's in the original list are higher up in price scale, something that can't be ignored.

And Mchaddadi, lol, i promise you, you will NEVER get any traction with 448hp. NEVER. NEVER. You know how they say "never say never?". I'm saying NEVER.....

[mcheddadi]

mcheddadi,

That cartoon was actually funny. Thanks for that. Seriously.

mcheddadi,

Glad you enjoyed it

[cliffy21]

Well, i didn't find it funny because it means he thinks that I am the one who is high......how ****ing ironic is that?

[mcheddadi]

I don't think you're high, wth?! its the closest gif that resembled the guy in the comic strip with his bubblepipe!

[zenki07]

what is this discussion about?!? are we talking about a street car or race car?

If it's drag racing we're talking about; just about any vehicle can be built to race down the 1/4. Not to put anybody down by stating this, but for example, I doubt Honda intented the Civic to go down the 1/4 in the 9's w/ 500+ hp when they rolled it off the assembly line...but it's been done.

With that being said...let's just all agree to disagree

[GreyZone]

I think 300 hp to the wheels would be about perfect, wouldnt really want to go much over that without significant (and costly) mods to the engine and suspension, including LSD...can you say tork steer is a beotch? And uh, "dont punch it if you're turning" kinda sucks.

My vote is for a small supercharger...would be nice

[cliffy21]

I would still turbo it, but just not as much as the Artisan one. The one i've looked at would put the power up to closer to 340, which i think would still be drivable. I don't want to have to rebuild 50% of the car to make it withstand all the new power. From what i've read, I think 340 would still be a range that the chassis could tolerate. We won't know until someone tries it though, will we?

[generic808]

Aww... A supercharger would be absolutely wonderful!! Unfortunately, there's no room in there for an SC. My truck is "blown" with an Eaton and I love the pull of SC's over turbo lag. I believe Stillen uses an Eaton for their 350Z set-up.
