2008 Altima Coupe 3.5SE vs 2008 GMC Sierra SLE?

[Khaled]

My brother wants to drag race me with his GMC truck.

2008 GMC Sierra SLE 5.3 1500 4WD (Regular cab)

I got 2008 Altima coupe 3.5SE 285HP (Gulf Spec)

What do you think guys? Should I go for it? or is he going to smoke me?

He will probably take you up to about 25 mph, after that, you would blow right by him.

sorry, comparing a car to a truck is like comparing apples to oranges.

what the heck is "gulf spec"?

and where did you get the extra 15 hp???

I thought the 3.5 only had 270.

[smithersbpr]

lol x2

and yea he will get you off the line but you will catch him and pass him.

and what is the gulf spec?

found this on the web:

"The dealers network in The GCC (Gulf Corporation Counsel) which includes Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain have specified their cars with certain standard equipments that otherwise are "Options" in other countries. Hence, the Gulf Specs term. It varies"

[dldjros69]

Hmm so he does have more hp???

I wonder if their 2.5 has more hp?

If so we gotta get on that

[Khaled]

There is no 2.5 here, only 3.5 are available in gulf region
