Altima is not just a mid size family sedan, it has performance, but from the two tickets I have learned that, my 2.5 has too much engine, at least my altima is not suitable for highway driving "fun", because that place is full of cops in Houston, and I should drive a underpowered prius.
So, say good bye to this driving style:
Now, I found out that Altima's JDM brother Teana, has created a local mountain pass racing record: (it's in foreign language but keeping it as reference)

Someone has proved that TEANA 350 isn't that clumsy, and could be a sleeper. And I have read in some other forums saying, FWD or RWD, VQ35DE is structurally similar to VR38DE except a water cooling device, easy to mod.
I have seen many Californian tuners demonstrating their demo cars going over 60+ on 40 mountain passes. But California has more mountains than Texas where I lived.
Where in Texas could I find tight mountain passes with minimum cops going through, and have some fun?
I don't want to spend money on track days unless the car is RWD, I just want to feel the speed on the open roads.
