Default AP1 vs Altima 3.5SE Coupe

So I was heading home Sunday night following behind my cousin in his EM1 and our chick friend in her Integra... when this black Altima 3.5SE coupe with HID's pulled up next to them, obviously trying to get them to run. So I passed my cousin and lined up next to this guy. I was just rolling next to him matching his speed...

He obviously got a little overexcited because after 10 seconds or so he couldn't bear it anymore and had to floor it and take off (premature ejaculation problems?). So I waited patiently and he came back...

We started at about 70 MPH and I honked it off. I started pulling immediately and had about 1.5-2.0 car lengths on him by 110~ MPH. He flashed his brights and lined up again. I started the 2nd run @ 60 MPH at the bottom of 3rd and we went to 115-120~ or so this time. I again had about 2-2.5 cars on him. After such a hard stomping he tucked his tail between his legs and got off at the next exit.

I think he was a stick, might've been CVT but before we took off I clearly heard him downshift. Then again, I think you can downshift the CVT's so who knows. Either way I outdrove him and beat him.

I've got modded air box, exhaust, header, and weight reduction with suspension mods. And driver mod of course. Not sure what mods he had, I think he had exhaust. Couldn't really hear his car next to my exhaust + roaring F20.

Can't wait to get my gears so I can pull people even harder, especially on low rolls.

Nice.

Reminds me of this one guy with a 3.5 Altima coupe who asked about my car.

Him - "how much HP u got?"

Me - "Never dynoed but its rated 240 crank"

Him - "Oh i'll rape your car, I make 280"

Me - "You sure about that? Your car weighs almost two tons..."

Him - "..."

He never wanted to race after that..

What a douche. Altima coupe drivers seem to be mini-G35 douches. Couldn't get a G35 so they settled for that ballin' Altima coupe, yo.

I have no idea why you'd buy an Altima coupe when you can get a far superior Genesis Coupe 2.0T/3.8. Genesis looks way nicer and is a much better car overall.

Not to mention that the 3.8 Genesis responds REALLY well to bolt-ons + tune. That 3.8 is a great engine. The Altima's 3.5 responds about as well as a crappy VQ35...

Reminds me of the 2010 Challenger R/T I pulled a car on. Even with 375 HP at the crank I still pulled on him. Crank HP doesn't mean shit, way too many other factors at play in a straightline race.
