Well this is my first post but I've been looking into buying an Altima coupe for a while now. I wanted to know if theres anyone out there that takes their coupe out to the track. By track, I don't mean like drag strip kind of track but like a full track where you take laps and learn beginner, intermediate...and maybe one day advanced. In any case I wanted to know if anyone can tell me how well it does stock. I don't know what to expect from the FWD platform but I know the TSX I'm driving now might do well but the lack of power leaves a lot to be desired. Especially after I started driving the Maxima I have and then test driving the 6 speed 3.5 Altima Coupe.

Welcome!

I took my A/C on an autocross track at a Nico event recently and it was doing pretty well. I can't say for sure how it does stock since I have a few suspension mods. I'm sure it's quite competent in stock form on the track though.

sorry to thread jack... Tyler is that dirt on your front lip spoiler or are those scuff marks... I'm thinking about getting the lip, just curious

It's dirt. By no means will you have any trouble with it. The event that I was at, it had been raining and crappy out and we had to exit the track onto some muddy dirt/grass area.
