Keep in mind that the Altima's engine has 40hp and about 70ft/lbs of torque on us. Even with the 3.0, you wouldn't match the torque without several other mods. The Altima was on my new car list, along with the WRX wagon, which utimately my choice for a new car. I, however, exercised monetary restraint, something new for me, and got a '99 SVT w/26k for half the money. Just remind yourself that our top speed is matched/bested by a very few sedans on the road.
