yeah, it's against forum rules...
but let's just say I bench-raced a Mazda 6 wagon the other day. He bench-pulled very steadily on me in 5th bench-gear, but in the bench-corners he was unable to shake me off no matter what. I have SE, mind you.
Look of the guy who can't shake off a car worth 1/10 of his -- priceless. 
1/8th would certainly be a no contest

I took on a 330ci convertible (automatic) at the local strip, and got about 1/2 car length in front and stayed there! The guy was pissed, and I was well surprised. Hows that for being beat by a car 1/10th of the price.

330 CIC (convertable) is pretty slow....especially with the auto trnas.
Even though they have 225HP, the fact of the automatic and the weight diffrence for being convertable, makes up for it.

Not that its a big difference but the 1.8T is 180HP 173TQ and if completely stock (and manual) both cars would be very even. In 2001 C&D got a 15.7 out of the 170Hp version so it would be pretty tight.
Below are all the 1/4 times and the year tested seems every car has pretty much identical times for the years listed.
Audi A4 - 2001 - 15.4 Manual
Mazda 6 - 2003 - 15.4 Manual (16.4 AT)
SVT Contour - 1999 - 15.4
Aucra TSX - 2004 - 15.5@90mph
Lexus IS300 - 2002 - 15.4 Manual trans
BMW 325i - 2001 - 15.4 Manual Trans
Jetta 1.8T -2001 - 15.7 Maunal

The altima has the VQ engine, its one of the best engines ever made with well over 200 horsepower it would take it. Now if there was a maxima then it would smoke them all.

keep in mind on an 8th mile youd be waiting for what seems like an eternity for the tour to open the other 12 valves most of these other cars have power and tq from the get go the bwm would be the only competition, maybe the vw... friend has a 1.8t runs regular, with 2 guys and a pile of fishign gear and it just pulls and pulls nothing like the gtp thou
