This is from his unbiased perspective on his own forum. I won't post a link for obvious purposes.

"I just raced one of those 2.5s altimas and i was suprised he even kept up ??? doing 60 droped gears floored it then slowed down at 100mph to see he was only 2 car link mabey a little closer what gives?????? at what the 175hp/tq how can he even keep up like that ??? he pulls up to me tells me to roll down the window and say is that a 4 or 6 i said 6 he just replies huh."

Anyone who owns a 2.5 and has ever fooled around in one can relate.

i am completely against street racing and think its stupid to risk your life and the others on the road. Do it right and go to a track. Giving altima coupes a bad name by racing in the streets.

Although the article is interesting, we've already seen several nice altima coupes wrecked and atleast no one has been hurt.

Yeah, I raced one back in PA (sorry Heels1010) and I completely stomped him. I have a 3.5 and a bunch of mods, but considering how much I beat him, I'm sure a 2.5 would put up a good fight.
