i beat my friend's E46 M3 (the one with 333 HP), like 2004 body style. before everyone jumps in saying its impossible, i looked up the times and they do 13.3 for the coupe and 13.7 for the convertible. he had a convertible and his only mods were a crazy drop and HEAVY chrome rims... i wasnt sure how it went, if he was going full throttle or what when we raced on wednesday and i saw him today and the first thing he said was damn that altimas quick and that i beat him.

yeah they are fast but by todays standards 330 hp for a performance car is just not enough

hp alone means nothing. it's ALL about TRACTION and POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO.

the Ariel Atom has 240~300 ish hp and does 0-60 in 2.7 sec.

My girlfriend doesn't want me to have a motorcycle. Someday, that will be my compromise.

it's all about the power to weight ratio folks.

and well, if you have an altima, it's a totally different story
