an altima 3.5se is a mid 14 sec car, some have even made it to low 14s, so a stock manual tC has no chance against it.

I have an 05 se-r and its no girly car, its extremely nice and holds its own against vq powered g35s or 350z.

if an SE-R holds its own against a G35 or 350z (older models, which are low 14sec to high 13sec cars), how you figure a stock 3.5se is a low 14sec car? That would mean an SE-R runs the same as an SE....no?

And no an SE-R I would consider a girly car.....it's more ofan overpowered grocery getter.

not everyone that drives a 350z or g35 runs low 14s-high 13s, even though the car is capable of it. The an 05 3.5se runs about 2 tenths behind an se-r. Both altimas are lighter than the 350z and g35s. The se-r is a sports sedan, and a very neat one. I'm not gonna start a ____ing match with you so lets leave it at that.

I can care less what a crappy driver does with a car, that's what the car is capable of, and that's the old model. Not talking about the 06+ 350z's. Altima is not a sports car, so I surely hope you don't want to go there thinking an SE-r is on the same level as a Z or G35, just because it may be able to hang with them in a straight line.

There are more low 14sec high 13sec Z's than any crappy drivers out there, so what's your point in talking about crappy drivers? People confuse beating drivers with beating the cars. In the case you speak of, they beat the driver.

However, you missed the point. You contradicted yourself. Your saying that there is essentially no difference between a 3.5 SE and the SE-R which we know there is. You said the SE can run low 14's but yet an SE-R just "holds its own" against the Z/G. SE's are slower than SE-R, so how can an SE-R only "hold it's own" against a Z/G if the SE supposedly does low 14secs which is what the older Z's do on a mild day?

By the way, I meant to say I would "not" consider the SE-R to be a girly car....that it was an beefed up grocery getter instead.

I said that the se is a mid 14sec. car and some people have claimed to go low 14s, whether they were stock or not we will never know, you and I both know that there's lots of mods that can make a car faster yet it still looks stock. It takes a bit more driving skill, but 13s have been hit before with an se-r, but it takes a real good driver due to the car being a fwd. I've raced stock auto g35 coupes and i take them to well into 100mph before they start making up ground ( due to the better top end).

Ok so it's just a mis-communication. I was under the impression that you were talking about stock SE's and SE-R's.

Speaking of running high psi, my friend sent me a link to a cardomain of some random chick that wants to turbo her tC and "plan[s] on running 20 psi while at the track and a lower amount when driving around town." (source: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3166323 ) When I asked her if she was kidding, she replied, "no acually i'm not kiddig. i have friends that can hook me up. my car will be able to handle it." That proves the stereotype that hot = dumb as hell. LOL I can't wait to see her Cardomain in a few months: "I blew up my engine and/or turbo!

i just fell inlove..

A chick car that does not look all......"CHICKED" out. Much Respect. In all fairness Ro_ja, I read what her response was. She said she would have a built motor to run that high of boost. So, she will be just fine running 20 PSI as long as it's fully built, which is what I get she is planning on doing.

Seriously? Our cars can handle all that pressure? I'm a lot more impressed with the 2AZ than I was before then. But wouldn't that cause some sort of problem if her turbo is just a generic kit like Turbonetics or something and she tries to turn up the psi on it? And don't you need to run race fuel to support all that pressure?

^^not necessarily. Turbonetics is not a generic turbo (I know you didn't mean nothing by that), but what would happen is once you reached the threshold of the turbine, you would just stop making power. You wouldn't have like some catastrophic failure or anything, it just wouldn't make any more power beyond what it can flow that's all. And yes, the 2az built up can handle that amount of boost. However, one thing I will note, I am not sure if she understands what 20 PSI on a 2az is. That's at least a mid 10sec car with that much boost. Maybe, maybe not she can handle that. Won't knock her for it though. And I am not 100% sure if race gas would be required in that case. Something tells me no, but at the same time Race gas would make it a little more safer to produce the power, and produce more of it.

Hmm...ok, I see. I was just thrown off because my friend had a GT2835 on his Evo that he blew because he turned up the psi on it too much (31 psi), or at least that's what he said. And he was running a built 4G63. So, when I saw 20psi on her cardomain, I was a little wary. And by "generic", I meant "off the shelf" as opposed to a custom setup.

^^Gotcha. More importantly though, the tune can make or break the car.

naaaaaaaahhhhhhhh. more like mid- high 11's. id say to break into the 10's you would need at least 25psi.

Ill pass.. Lol then some cocky fat kind in a Mustang says ill race that lil giel car. So we go out and race well this is how the race turned out.. lol im open dp in the video..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXcSorXEwF8

this is no cammed 347 mustang, or if it is, it running on 4 cylinders, those cars are loud and would have easily made your car sound as if it was off. If this guy would have floored it you would've seen the camera move back, which it didn't do, and if the pause the video right as your tC is passing him you can see his rpms are very low, at idle or slightly above. Sorry bro, you're busted.

Your a flippin' butt hat.. That was a real race.. As far as I know the kid called me out. Why would he purposely make me look good.. I didnt need help in that department buddy..

typical response when someone gets butt hurt.

You have know idea what kind of torque curve a cammed 347 has, that camera guy wouldn't have been able to hold the camera as steady as he did. Sorry, if that race did happen, that was a stock gt.

Other people have already paused the vid and seen the rpms are at or near idle. He could be your buddy recording you as you demonstrate a "gross display of power", fact of the matter is- not a cammed 347, maybe a stock or lightly modded gt.

It wasnt stock. And the whole cammed and stroked thing is what I was told. I can call the guy and get him to comfirm it with me. Its some highschool kid my cousin knows.. He is not my friend. Ask, anyone on here. My rep on here is good. I know what Im talking about and I dont have any reason to lie. Regardless of what happens in racing I dont lie about it, I do it for un not to be the best. And, I would never lie to make my car look better. It could do that on it own. So, I saw think what ever you want buddy. And, Im sorry you must have a n/a tC and feel to come on here and bust my chops because you think I race is fake. And, why was the video taken in the mustang is because my friend found it on yspace and told me about it and I added the kid and went and saved it and uploaded it..

Now any more questions..

Who cares what anyone else thinks about your tc. If you like it do not worry what anyone else says, it is their opinion.

Its not a question its a fact that you "raced" a stock or near stock gt that might have not even been racing. I respect that you build a nice tC, even if you don't have it anymore judging by the R.I.P. in you sig. But if you look at my sig I don't have a tC anymore but it wasn't stock or n/a. I didn't "come in here" to bust you chops, i've been roaming this website since before you even had a tC, I bought my first tC in late 05 and got another in mid 06 and had been reading about tCs on this website even before that, I just dont post *****. Simply put, you were given wrong info about the mods on this mustang, thats all.

I'm factoring in weight reduction as well. Should not take 20lbs to run a high 11 when 12.1 was done on a mere 14lbs. With an increased redline on top of that, I don't see 20 PSI only being mid-high 11's.
