M3 vs. A/C

[prlwhitecoupe]

Ok so yesterday on the way to school this dude in a sick shiny baby blue '06 M3 (sounded like he had an CAI as well), decided to come up next to me, check out my car and start revving his engine next to me, all the way to the next light. Knowing it would be a waste of my gas to even bother cause I won't win...I was like alright then lets have some fun, so I had to get on the highway and he was going straight...and at the next light I ended up behind him...and I then came up slowly next to him and I just gave her a go...and he was obviously waiting and he hit the gas too and for about 10 seconds we were even and after that he was pulling away pretty quickly ahahah....so he smiled and waved out of his sunroof and I laughed and took off down the on ramp...so lesson learned is well, no matter how much you may love your A/C, it's not a GT-R. Especially with a stock 2.5 engine. ahahah....ahhh so thats my story.

But hey an M3 wanted to race me!

[milkacaduke]

errrrr i regret debagging my 2.5 cuz i get so many STI EVO Z revving and all i can do is smile......

and yes no matter how much u love ur A/C, its not built to compete at that lv

[08altima35]

and yes no matter how much u love ur A/C, its not built to compete at that lv

both cars spoken of come factory boosted. boost the altima coupe and you'll spank a stock evo or STI from a roll. The reason i say from a roll is because the lightweight AWD evo's and sti's smoke off the line and you don't have a chance in a altima.

[milkacaduke]

i dont care what people might challange EVO & STI are one of the best cars to street race in

i'm leaving out GTR though, never been in a GTR and i think its unchallangeable!

nothing beets GTR in my mind

[08altima35]

u could strap a massive motor + boost + nitrous to a sofa and beat a GTR in a quarter mile. The GTR is a badas$ car and excellent on a road course or 1/4 track, but with enough money you could convert an altima to beat a gtr in both categories.

[milkacaduke]

with enough money you could convert an altima to beat a gtr

and u can see urself driving a 99civic half a year later cuz ur altima blew up

[08altima35]

and u can see urself driving a 99civic half a year later cuz ur altima blew up

did you not read where i said with enough money? who says it had to be the VQ? You're missing the point.

[milkacaduke]

who says it had to be the VQ? You're missing the point.

Right i missed the pointcuz i was assuming we're talking about an altima, i consider a car with a engine swap a different car due to the engine is the heart of the car.

and yes with alot of money an engine swap will CHANGE an altima into a total different car to compete with high end preformance

then why not just CHANGE a car

no offense though :

I think what 08altima35 is trying to say is.....

HORSEPOWER = $$,...How much do you want to spend?

I love my coupe and the 3.5 in it. I just regret not holding out for a 6MT but hey, I have a lot of fun revving thru the gears with he CVT.

[dldjros69]

Haha another street racing thread. I thought you would give the M3 a run for a bit, then i kept reading and realized you have a 2.5 as do i. Haha no dice.

Sigh....the title of this thread instantly made me think fail...and it did...

[dldjros69]

They are always huge fails.

I like when people start acting up.

[rjdmmfl1]

A few nights ago, An E320 Mercedez pulled up next to me on the highway and was being a real d*ck... it was late at night, about 12:30 am, and no other cars were on the road.. I saw he wanted to go so we went... took him easily.. pulled by about 3-4 car lengths, then slowed back down... I see him coming up again trying to do a honda civic ricer fly by, so I hit the petal.. he never catches up to me.. after hitting top speed in the weak CVT, he still can't catch up, he realizes the E320 didn't stand a chance, and literally holds a white napkin out of the car in defeat, and retreats to the nearest off ramp, his Ego battered and bruised...

afterwards, I couldn't help realizing how stupid it was... street/road races are dumb, and I let this stupid little kid bait me into a race that I knew I would win from the beginning... granted the radar detector would have picked up a cop's radar, and there were no cars around , but still, a very dumb move and as linknut likes to say.. a douchebag moment on my part...

road racing is bad, period... even if you win, you could still lose...

[dldjros69]

whoa robert that surprises me. I didnt think you would do it. I thought you were going to say you were joking. Shame on you.

Why do people always insist on making threads about racing some idiot on the streets.

This thread = fail.

Probably for s's and g's, and because at least 5 people get really worked up over them.

Because my friend this is a forum and on this forum we are sharing our experiences no matter how stupid, shi-tty, good or excellent it may be. That is the POINT of a forum. So if you kindly have nothing better to say than to put people down for a simple share of an experience then don't bother wasting your energy posting in that particular thread. I don't race and I wouldn't call that some race, I was getting on the highway so I thought I'd provoke him since he was itching for it and he'd end up getting a ticket down the road anyway. So peace out homie.

Your posting = FAIL.

[LinkNuc]

refer to douchebag posts

Hah, go cry about it.

Point is street racing is just dumb. It costs more then just insurance money.

[prlwhitecoupe]

Yah, ok...I'll do that buddy.

Anyways, I'm not defending street racing. It is wrong and it is dangerous and yes it is stupid. But I'm not one of those idiots who are reckless aggressive drivers. It is sad that people like you on here are more prone to judging others than merely looking at the simple humor behind things. And people like that most probably are hypocrites.

Again, stop whining.

So ok, lets see. You don't encourage street racing yet you openly admit racing an M3 to "have some fun." I actually find that very funny so yes I do find the simple humor in that, mind you the word simple.

This thread = fail.

i have no intentions to join this argue, i just want to point a few things out.

he did not mention any sense of speed, its a description over an event which he encounter a M3. his point was "But hey an M3 wanted to race me". Why cant he share his feeling and experience of an LEGAL act to our fellow nico members?

Queston for u is, whats the point for u to up grade ur car with preformance parts such as nismo cat-back? to drive around like a camry? If u simply want to increase the value of ur car, then that's exactly what his original post was about, a M3 driver values his car and wanted to challenge him to a race.

i mean, if everyone on this forum just simply go around and FAIL every post that goes against their believes, how do we expect forum members to help each other out?

wheres the love?

thats what im trying to figure out! Good to know some people can understand the true intentions behind a post which sadly is a made mockery out of over someones failure to show a little respect! Whats the point of a forum if everything you post is going to turn into bs like this? I think ppl like this miscrient need to learn proper forum etiquette and grow up a little. Its very sad coming from a systems admin like him.

Oh hmm wait lets see you want Sparco RACING seats, already have nismo catback, you also want eibachs and sway bar....Wow arent you a role model! Yah thanks now you sit and think about that before you make another hypocritical post! Lets see what your insurance rates are like if you told them what you are doing to your car infact i would bet money on the fact that if you stopped by a cop and he saw ur seats in addition to ur lowered height and catback u can bet r *** u will have hard time convincing HIM that you weren't racing rather han just speeding. Haha..i pity da foo!

Ah, your right. I didn't know that anyone that put aftermarket performance parts on their car automatically qualifies them as a street racer and an advocate of it. Perhaps you shouldn't be so quick to judge.

my personal opinion, if you like the look of the altima coupe but don't care about racing then get the 2.5. in all honesty the 2.5 has MORE then enough power for daily driving. why would someone spend thousands extra on a 3.5se? the way i feel is that its sort of pointless and stupid to buy a 3.5se if your not going to be racing it.

and now for the flaming to began, i race people all the time at the track and on the street, it's fun to me. people hear the term "street racing" and automatically assume it's people swerving around cars doing 200 MPH in 5:00 traffic or something. some ILLEGAL street racing occurs on empty roads where no one is at and it is exactly like an NHRA track in the sense that they make sure everything is clear and everyone is safe. then theres the times when you pull up next to someone at a red light with nothing around and you go for it. i also don't see an issue with that. the times where people are reckless and put other people's lives in jeopardy then ya, thats bad.....

the altima coupe is more sporty then many of the other cars on the road. say your on the hwy and the speed limit is 70 MPH. whats the difference between 70 and 100 MPH? it takes longer to slow down right? well an altima coupe can go from 100 MPH to 0 MPH quicker then a big rig could probably go from 55 MPH to 0 MPH. so its not any worse then a big rig truck on the hwy..... unless your swerving around cars and driving stupid in traffic or something

on!

i know i should just leave this post alone and it eventually will die, but a part of me is itching to say something.

The point of performance parts is to make ur car PREFORM. What's the definition of perform in terms of car modding? To make the car runs faster and handles better.

So you are telling us that u are willing to spend big money on performance parts and look down on people that actually try to PREFORM in their car? doesn't make sense.

and to be honest, who never raced? if a person have never driven fast car or was involved in some sort of speed challenge, i dont think A/C is the right car for him/her. better off with a camry.

Blake had a turbo, i believe he wont turn down challenges just by throwing out an excuse like " sorry, my turbo is just for looks"

Everyone have their stand. i have to admit that i was pretty upset when u use the word fail. Nothing fails more than to disrespect a fellow member without knowing him.

not to mention it doesn't make sense since ur modding ur car towards performance not comfort.

[prlwhitecoupe]

Oh SHUT the F-C-K UP already. You know you're in the wrong but you are still latching on to something, which is pathetic cause there's nothing for you to say, yet you still try to say it. Didn't your mother ever tell you when's a good time to just shut up? You are an idiot and a hypocrite so just accept it and move on. I think people would have a better chance at winning an argument against an old nagging hag than you.

yes there have been alot of racing threads latley, but who cares. This is an open forum, if you dont like the topic then don't post. yes everyone hear has the right and the ability to go on any thread and start posting fail all over it, just because you dont like it. Go ahead and voice your opinion but do it respectfully. A simply, "I don't agree with street racing" would of done fine. But to start posting fail all over the place is just flat out disrespectful. Just because you guys dont like a thread or a topic, doesnt mean everyone else doesnt. Soon no one is going to want to post anything for fear of being ridiculed. So if you are going to post a negitive comment, please do it respectfully. Thank you
