Default I got smoked!

So I was toying around with a new V6 Mustang(giving him a head start before blowing by him) when something interesting caught my ear.

An older green Nissan(Maxima or Altima??) that looked completely stock just let off a few shots from a BOV. I found it interesting, but usually "interesting" boosted cars are still slow. I go back to toying with the Mustang that won't quit, and as I'm effortlessly passing the Stang the Altimax came up from behind and crept past me as I was WOT at ~80mph. It was a decent pull, but I bet I could change that with a few mods that I have planned for the near future.

Anyways, I'm posting this just to give credit and a to the Nissan driver. I didn't get a chance to chat because it started to snow out of nowhere. Are boosted Altimas/Maximas as rare as I think they are?

I really would want to, but I'm in the process of putting a few more things into it. Always need to fix something, but since I bought it straight up I don't think I'll sell it. As it is now, traction is the only issue.

I've never seen one Altima SE-Rs are a decent race for a stock S, so with some boost, I imagine they would be faster. I would expect that car to be putting down close to 300whp at least or the turbo on it is a joke I think they dyno 220-225 stock.

It wasn't the newest body style. I think it was a late 90's Altima. It certainly didn't pull like it had 300whp.
