I've never understood that. This car is much quicker than a Miata, but I don't hear people complaining about it's speed. The RX-8 isn't a slow car, it just isn't a drag car, but people seem unable to comprehend the difference.

Stop light racing is for idiots who want a future in prison after they wreck and kill an innocent family.

That is the understood nature of a sedan with more torque. He's not going to be autocrossing with it.

Look at what impresed him about the car:

I went and looked at the Altima SER yesterday and it is a serious car.

The looks are awesome. Also now with the 3.5 L 260hp engine.

This is the first one here in my City. So unlike the 4 rx8's I would have the first.

I am pretty sure since this Altima is the SER version it can be seriously tuned. Especially since it is the 3.5 L engine. Maybe hit it up with a Skyline Turbo setup. But I dont know if it could fit.

you take the altima for a test drive yet ? It should feel alot different than your car ... the altimas got alot more torque .... drove my brother's G35 and man ... different ... the clutch pedal has a shorter distance too ... catches on alot more quicker ... overall the feel of the car feels a step higher than the 8. The interior is a different story .... feels more family car-ish while the 8 feels like a refined sports car

Well why dont you hook us up with a video of you in her van! Seems like it would be interesting to watch.

I havent test drove the Altima SER yet because they simply would not let me till they saw proof of ownership on my rx8. Only reason I was not driving the 8 is because I put it in the shop over the weekend to get a checkup on all the stuff. So tomorrow (monday) I plan on driving across the street to test drive it. Yup Mazda and Nissan and Honda/Volvo are directly across from each other. Talk about competition.

What the hell! You should have no probems with any cars that come into competition with a Mustang GT. I have beaten about 8 of them all the way up to 125mph. And I have the 4 Speed Auto 8!

So I have no clue as to what happened with that but it should not have happened.

mysql101 10-31-2004 09:03 PM

Still, I don't see the logic in this. The Altima SE-R is front wheel drive and weights 300 lbs more than the RX-8.

I thought you were leaving the forum? Do us all a favor and get another car (non Subaru) and be gone. I just feel sorry for the other forum that ends up with you, but I think you would fit in rather nicely with the ClubRSX boys.

What exactly is your problem with me? I have done nothing to you.

You posted in the wrong section which gives me much hatred for you.

slllygrl10 10-31-2004 09:21 PM

SIMPLEXEFFECT, go ahead and trade your 8 in for the altima SER, cuz I dont care. Someone will be happy when he/she gets to purchase your car...who is gonna be the lucky owner!

Well I am sorry for it. I am 100% sure it was an accident.

Ike 10-31-2004 09:22 PM

I wish you weren't a liar!

rev-2-9k 10-31-2004 09:28 PM

Ike just wants his post count up otherwise he could make a point with one post.

Ike 10-31-2004 09:29 PM

Yeah, I never actually have content in my posts or makes points.

I find it odd that I agree with him.

SimplexEffect 10-31-2004 09:33 PM

I dont care about my post count. All it determines is how active you are on the boards.

To bad you're just some noob with less than 200 posts or your opinion would actually matter. :(

mysql101 10-31-2004 09:45 PM

My opinion matters. Someone ask me something, quick.

Mugatu 10-31-2004 09:46 PM

I see you qualify people by how many posts they have. Atleast we dont make a-hole posts like you do.

No, it has to be on topic. So limit the questions to The Nissan Altima, a car which I have no knowledge of at all.
