:: Nissan Altima SE-R... got nothing on me!
-- warning, do not attempt to reproduce this without a liberal application of eggnog and deathwish. Street racing for whatever duration is not recommended
Christmas Day, 2:30AM. Going home, streets quiet... Beltronics STi quiet but waiting.
Altima pulls up at stopsign. Woo. Silver shiny paint. Peels off, it's an SE-R 3.5l . "They" slow... match my speed. I was doing 60kph, going my merry way. Seeing him side, I drop to second @ 60kph. We speed off (backroads). "They" pull away while I'm chugging in second. Rev hits 5500 I drop to 3rd and gain and pass, albeit not flashy like a shot of NOS. Fourth, 160ish kph, he's several car lengths back. STi lights up KA band, I slow and drop to third @ 80kph and "they" shoot past. Didn't see any cops but still, the verdict is clear. I'm an idiot and took months off the life of my winter tires, but those two passengers they had must have weighed a ton to not be able to take an 18 year old sedan.
"SE-R model making 260 hp (194 kW). The Altima SE-R became the first sports model for the lineup sporting 18 inch forged aluminum wheels, an upgraded braking system, upgraded suspension, performance exhaust, lower body kit and more."
...pretty sure it's an actual SE-R because it DID have 17-18" wheels, SE-R kit and all. Of course, might be a poser 2.5l @ 175hp.
