my boss just bought an altima se mtx and that thing hauls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want one in a bad, bad way. I can wait until i pay off my car and can get a good deal on a used one. By the way, he got his for 23k (w/ moon roof, bose stereo, spoiler). So, not too too expensive. I wouldv'e gotten the HID lights. Weren't the SVT Contours leaving dealers for around that price when they were brand new? 
Darren '98 Mystique LS -Duratec, MTX Nakamichi CD-40z, Knauberized, K&N drop-in...what else could you want?

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.

2.1s 60' time adn 13.9 quarter means some serious horsepower. I wonder what his car would dyno at because I suspect a freak engine or more than 'just an intake'.

Keep in mind that most of us who are doing or have done the 3L mod do a lot of other work to our engines as well. I would suspect that the power gap is probably a lot closer than we think. My hope is that the better than average Contour 3L is putting out 230-240hp (at the crank) and 215 lb-ft of torque.

Even so, the Altima puts out 240 lb/ft +. That's quite a bit of a power gap.

Though drop ~25 TQ from your figures  WarMonger is around 260-265HP and DavidZ (the goal to beat ) is in the 290+ range. Maybe more by now???

After the cost cutting that the present Nissan CEO had to do, well Nasser all over again.
Read the NVH, Jamie Kitman's article in March issue of Automobile mag. last page.
Nothing new for us Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh?
Cuttng out the fat is one thing, but when it kills quality, it's just plain greed.
unfortunately bussiness as usual since the early 90's.
