Altima 3.5=1 RX-8=0

[Hussain]

so you can't say it was a regular neon i raced (i whooped my friend's GTi next to my car too but they only have 200 horsepower)



my car getting the 2.5" cat back done



having a lil fun

getting sideways



my dad's E500 that i wanna race and my brother's C5 in front of my house

[AltiCoupeDriver]

LOL, Cut him some slack. Maybe the Evo was toying with him? BTW Nice pics Hussain, and its nice to see another Muslim (I'm assuming) A/C driver!

[Hussain]

lol thanks man. i never saw that Evo before and it was a 1 time race but the mustang, SRT-4, VW R32 are my friends and we did multipule races. ya i'm Muslim, i'm Libyan (Arab) too... as salam awalakum

[AltiCoupeDriver]

Walaikum Assalam, My parents are form Pakistan. So you have custom exhaust, do you have a vid where we can hear it?

[Hussain]

lol actually some guy in another altima coupe club was saying how 2.5" cat back with the stock muffler gives you alot more power and sounds good so i went and did it (if you search Altima coupe on youtube it's the white one). but i was amazed by how it sounded with 2.5" cat back and no muffler, even my brother with the C5 and my friend with the SRT-4 were shocked. it sounded like a mean V8. after i get a radar detector i'm going to just cut off the muffler and run it with 2.5" cat back with no muffler until i get the exhaust set-up i want. with the stock muffler it's only a little bit louder but it does feel quicker and i've seen a drop in MPG lol. i'm a little short on money right now but in the future i want to cut off the 3rd cat (right around where the 2 pipes combined into 1) and have (2) 2.5" pipes to some magnaflow mufflers (TRUE dual exhaust), i love magnaflow.... and maybe put a magnaflow X-pipe to balance the flow and maybe later on replace those 2 cats with high flow cats and i've heard of some cars still being under warranty after using certain headers (like DINNAN headers on a BMW) so i wanna see if the same thing applies to Nismo headers on the A/C and then get a CAI for it and get it tuned and ill be happy for a while. i wanna see if some how in the future they can make the CVT handle Turbo, cuz i think that would be nice to have a Twin Turbo CVT lol not sure if it will ever be possible tho.

i have alot of Pakistani friend's. theirs alot of pakis and afgans in my area (palis too).

alti coupe=1 twin turbo toyota supra=0

his windows were down plus he had a 500 pound man in his passenger seat

[Dexion]

Not to down the Altima, but it's not a sports car. You might just take an RSX but that would be close. Anything above that the Altima is toast provided that the other driver can reach the pedals. I'm gonna have to call shens on your story bro. They weren't racing.

RSX can't hang with an Altima without some serious modding.

[shift_mikey]

Gimmie a break..... "I beat these 4 cars, but i'm gonna post a video of only one and he beat me, but i beat him off film!!"

[LongBeachCoupe]

I like how this Hussain character does burnouts infront of his parents house.

[generic808]

Did you really hit 135mph? I thought the Altima's were governed at 120, or was it 130? I'm pretty sure the limiter will shut you down at 130 tops. But I could be wrong. If you could post a vid of you doing 135+, that would be great.

[Hussain]

thats what my friend in the R32 said. i know for a fact i did AT LEAST 130. theirs a country road like 5 miles up the street that has like nothing out there and it's like a 3 mile straight away and the road is pretty good, a few pot holes here and there but some parts are like freshly paved. i checked this site before i went to class and on my way home i went to that road and saw a cop! ill get you a pic of it for sure BUT i gotta look for a new road 1st. i already know shift_mikey is going to try and talk **** about me not getting a pic... i'm not saying i wont get the pic, i'm just saying give me a little time to find a new road.

but as for shift_mikey's comments about filming the races, why didn't the guy that raced the Rx8 film it? the guy that tied the 350z? the guy that beat the galant? the guy that beat the supra? who the **** carries a camera around with them and films every race? ya guess what, 90% of my races WONT be on film. only reason we got some SRT-4 vids on film are cuz that guy has a cam and we had a couple guys with us (me +2 in my car him + 2 in his car). it's his cam and he has all the vids but is only posting the ones that i was in manual mode or somethin went wrong. he's not posting the ones where i beat him (he doesn't want everyone online to see a stock A/C beat a modded SRT-4 i guess). next time i go to his house ill try and get the rest of the vids and upload them myself. and if you knew anything about cars you'd know that a moded SRT-4 would kill a 2000 automatic GT Mustang no questions asked (the Evo is another question, never met the guy so maybe it was a fake evo but the mustang had a GT motor in it and i won) so if you look at the vid, he got a head start and i closed the gap and was just about to beat him till i hit 120 and got slow (look at the vid in detail and you can see my speedometer hit 120 MPH). you have the same car as me (so i dunno why you're talkin ****) so get in your car and see how hard it pulls up to 110 or 120 and then see how hard it pulls after 120.... i think you said you have a stick shift so maybe someone with CVT would like to try? i had him till we hit 120 and A/C are hella slow after 120.

[Hussain]

i looked at the vid again and i actually did 110, not 120. some of our races went up to 125 even but most went to 110 or 120. in CVT he couldn't get me till 120. but if anyone thinks i'm makin stuff up, we all have the same car, take it up to 125 and see what happens. it pulls up to 110 and then it gets a little slower but still pulls, then when you hit 120 it gets HELLA SLOWER!!!!! i wanna try and find a new road and get ahold of the guy with the GT Mustang so i can film the ENGINE (so shift_mikey can't talk **** and say it's not a GT) and film the race from my car and his car (so shift_mikey can't say somethin like he let off the gas and "let you win"). don't see why it's so hard for you to believe that a 14.4 second car got beat by a 14.6 second car when the 14.4 second Mustang had heavy rims that hella slowed it down and the 2 guys in the mustang were alot heavier then me and the guy in my car.

[shift_mikey]

LMAO listen buddy, i'm not talkin smack about your car, i'm talking smack about your claims! first you come in here with bells on about 4 cars you smoked. When asked for proof, you started making excuses, and the only video you could provide was of you loosing.

I don't DOUBT what people tell me. I just think its a little fishy when someone claims to be burning by some known faster cars.

And for your info, i have the CVT. When this rain subsides, i'll do some testing.

Why should i be more crediable then you? nobody said i should be. But, i don't make claims of beating mid-13's cars. I said i had a galant try to pass me and only made it to my door before i started pulling on him. We were already doing 45, and in a lot of traffic. On the open road, i do not know what the results would be

P.S. The A/C does about 100 mph in the quarter. Anything over that, to me, is not considered impressive. Upper MPH territory comes more into who has a the better ratio top gear. When i race people from a stand still, i get to the speed the car does in a quarter, and then backoff, whoever is in front, wins.

[LongBeachCoupe]

signed up yesterday? nonsense ideas...

[generic808]

The reason your car starts slowing down around 110 is because it's governed to 120. The limiter usually kicks in 10mph before the governors set speed limit. That's where it'll take you like 30 seconds to get that extra 10mph.

[shift_mikey]

i think the bigger factor is just the limits of the car. More horsepower = go faster, faster!

Do me a favor and drive your AUTOMATIC altima off of a cliff. Lying to try to sound cool on the internet is gayer than high school musical.

[Hussain]

the car is not limited to 120, i hit 130 for sure and i think i did 135 against the R32. but FOR SURE the car will go to 130, i've done it more then once.

the evo is a mid 13 sec car because it's all wheel drive and launches really good but what ever, it probably would still beat me but not as bad as from a stand still. BUT the evo i raced probably was a fake evo or the guy was a bad driver.

http://www.dragtimes.com/Volks....html

that link shows a VW R32 doing 15.03.... the other R32's were getting 14.2. i raced the R32 from a roll also so he didn't jump ahead like AWD cars usually do. but even if we did go from 0-110, the 1/4 mile times vary from 14.2 to 15.03 depending on the driver and that range is where the A/C (manual and CVT) falls into. so a good R32 driver will take the CVT A/C and tie the stick shift A/C (if he's a good driver) and a BAD R32 driver will get beat by a good 6speed A/C and a CVT A/C.



that's the GT Mustang i beat. he has 19" Zineti wheels that slowed him down. stock they run 14.4 and stock the CVT A/C runs 14.6 (the stick does 14.2 and driven right would kill the AUTOMATIC GT Mustang). if i have vids of the race with the R32 or the GT Mustang or not, the numbers speak for them selves that if i didn't at least beat them (which i did), then it's at least possible for the A/C to beat them and don't know why it would even be debated so much.

the SRT-4 cheated off the line (which the video shows) so after he jumps ahead, i pull on him the whole time and if you look at my MPH gauge, when i hit a 100 MPH i'm ahead of the SRT-4 so going by shift_mikey's standards of winning at 100, i actually won that SRT-4 race. at 100 MPH i was ahead of him (look at the video if you don't believe me) and he took off before me... he cheated off the line. ill try and get the other videos where i beat him alot worse to 120. i already said the closest race was the SRT-4 and at 100 MPH and even 110, i was ahead of him and that's where the 1/4 mile would end.

as for "LongBeachCoupe", just signed up yesterday? go to altimacoupeclub.com and look at how long i've been on there, since like 2 days after i bought my car (i got it on the 4th of July)..... i just saw this club the other day and joined it... at least the other club doesn't talk so much **** about thing's that ARE POSSIBLE.

i've just PROVED that if i didn't at least beat 3 of the 4 cars that i talked about, then it is at least POSSIBLE for me to beat them. i've shown 1/4 mile times and everything. the only 1 you guys can still talk **** about is the Evo and maybe it was a fake evo. i'm not arguing that i'm 100% sure it was a real Evo and we had this great race and become life long friends after it, i saw the guy on the road 1 time and raced him, maybe it was a fake Evo, maybe it was a guy learning how to drive stick, i don't know. but what PROOF do you guys have (like real numbers, not just talking out your ***) that it is impossible for me to have beaten the other 3 cars?

[Hussain]

oh ya and for the guy who was talkin **** about my car being an automatic, i wanted a silver stick shift 3.5 SE but the only 3.5se they had in stock was my dark slate with CVT... i bought the car on the 4th of July when they weren't too available and it was either wait or get what ever they have.... if you don't believe me then go to Altimacoupeclub.com and look at the pics i posted of my car and the date i posted the pics. i love stick shift. i was driving my mom's 2005 2.5s stick shift for a while but we ended up trading it in and giving them a check to get my car and my mom's 07 Maxima. i know the 2.5s is 100 horsepower short but stick shift is stick shift and i like it.... CVT is ok tho, it drives more smoother and my car is pretty fast and i don't have to kill my leg and clutch in California traffic.

[windhaven]

Hussain,

Thou doth protest too much ....... dude, you may have beat all these cars but, simply put, what everybody is saying is that the way you presented it and have responded to this thread is indicative of someone who has not achieved the accolades that they claim. All are calling BS because many here have significant experience in the subject we dwell on in this forum.

Regardless of the truth, you have to be very aware that forums are a hard way to communicate in the first place. Truth, Lies, Exaggeration, Nuance, Sarcasm, and Facetiousness are hard things to communicate effectively in this format (i.e. Make sure the truth, or a lie, is believed ...), which allows there to be much room for interpretation, and hence judgment.

Understand, that before this thread, very few people had any experience with you on the forum, so they had not had any chance to evaluate your inputs and responses and relative helpfulness, truthfulness, and participation. Therefore, mistrust, which is an inherent part of our society (IMHO, whether anybody here believes it or not), tends to be a strong force to be overcome.

So, note, that none of this that I have written is anything more than an explanation as to why you are in the position you are. You would have been well served to have communicated your success in a less aggressive manner and, in circumstances where there was a shadow of potential doubt, been prepared to provide corroboration, in advance. You would have been even better served if you had established a track record on the forum (You're at 13 posts and most of them are arguing this thread) demonstrating your reliability, experience, and trustworthiness before focusing on what has been perceived as brash, controversial, and suspect.

A bit of advice, which you could use the wrong or the right way, agree to disagree. You've already done significant damage to your reputation at this point regardless of whether you're in the right or not (in truth). Come back to the forum and demonstrate your positive qualities by contributing to the Q&A that represents most of this forum, trying to help others. Acclaims will come later as you demonstrate the positive.

Take this for what it's worth, I for one, will be leaving this thread behind. I'd make a recommendation to the Moderator to lock this thread if possible and get everybody back on track with what matters.

windhaven, you took the words right out of my mouth. Of course you said it much more eloquently than I could have

[SHIFT_COUPE]

I think we are done talking **** and street racing in this thread. Hussain, go do more burnouts in your quiet neighborhood.

We are glad to have you here, in fact we are happy to have all of you here, but not to bicker about things like this. In fact, NICO is not a place for street racing discussion to begin with.
