i agree i think the altima has a chance if he launches well and the Cobra owner really is a tool as you have stated.

gotta love the guys with no idea how to launch.

whenever i goto the track there is always at least 2 street racing 'crews' that go out there and run all their imports, one of the CRX hatches they have got lined up next to me and i could see all his friends standing up over in the stands and pointing. so i look over and he just has this im a hard *** look on his face and all i could hear was whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa sounds like this dude it launching the car at like 6500rpms haha Vtec kickin in and all. light turns green and he just sits at the light for a good second burning rubber. i looked back and couldnt even see him until just before i went thru the traps.

granted i woulda won either way, but just goes to show some poeple get all nervous and really do eff their launches up bad.

being that you and mph trap expert what do you think my 02 Ford F450 bucket truck will trap it will have a 1/2 tank of gas in it dead hooks even on a wet road so Im thinking 65-66.5mph if I run the gas down to 1/8 tank and take out the pass seat I think it might click off 67mph so what do you think? keep in mind it does have the V10 in it.

I call Altima based on the much needed driver mod.

I think he's gonna miss a gear or 2

man, your underestimating it... ive seen these bucket trucks run... i saw one run a lambo just the other day actually... only lost by about 2 lengths.. im going to guess it would have got pulled on the top end (10+ MPH).. but it was a DAMN good race 0-10mph..

with that being said im going to guess 66.394pie92m8a=mc2
