Personally, I am tired of this 06 versus 07 nonsense from both camps. It is tired and pointless.

My '05 was fast but sluggish from 3000-5000 rpm. The '07 now is a lot less boggy from 3-5, and really pushes you back from 5-6. No comparison.

I wouldn't say its pointless, childish, perhaps, but not pointless. Look it's only natural that cars get better with each generation. I think that the new 07's are a better car inside and out. It looks better, handles better, and has more power. It happens. I have a 2004 350z and don't think for a second I wouldn't want to trade it in for an 07 z. Same story, cars evolve or they risk becoming irrelevant.

I'm not trying to push any buttons, I'm just excited about how good the altima is, and truth be told I didn't buy an 07 altima for ultimate performance, It's my wifes daily driver and besides I have the z for that. However, from the seat of the pants acceleration and the dyno's I've seen, it looks like the new altima's engine is probably very close to 2003-2005 350Z. Most Z's dyno around 240rwp and the fact that the new altima is dynoing 235 stock (245 with a WAI) is pretty impresive.

Put some decent shoes on the car and you'll have one heck of a grocery getter!

All three cars I've ever owned were Nissans and manual transmissions. I'm loving my 2007 6-speeder so much, coupled with the engine's flexible low-end torque that I'm able to drive at 60 km/h speed limit in 6th gear. I get excellent fuel mileage like a 4-cylinder model. I love my 6-spd transmission so much!!!! Did I say it enough?

I agree completely. But I do want more performance, so Im getting them

Tastes vary. Some people really LIKE slow, ugly cars with lots of torque-steer. For them, the 2006 would be the natural choice!

Yeah you need some more HP so those S2K's won't run with you anymore with those heavy ass 20's lol

thats dirty! cmon the cars not slow...

 

[legalize]

guys.... stupid argument you got going. the guys with the '07s obviously liked them more, and naturally will dislike the 06's. vise versa for the '06 guys. i got an '07, but I couldn't lease an '06. My friend has an '06 and I like it just as much as mine except for some interior parts.

Just dynoed my 09 SE 6spd…

Tuner said it would be over 270 on a day that wasn’t 100 deg 😎

Chuckling to self reading and trying to relate this thread to the 500+ hp. cars I used to drive in the '70s, cars pushing well over 600 ft.lbs. of torque.............I built enough 454 inch Camaros I could not count them.

 

[09SLATEM6]

The only funny thing here is you having a pissing contest in a Nissan Altima thread. I remember my first beer 🤣
Congratulations, you made 500hp with a 454ci V8 in a time where there was no ECU, smog, or AC.
The Nissan VQ35 is a 213 ci engine.
Chuckle on..

 

[amc49]

Uh, I worked on GM bigblocks that made well over 1200 hp and before you hit the nitrous button. Then they went over 1500, the dyno limit. NA motors.

If you knew anything about engines at all you would know that bigger engines NEVER make the power smaller do on an even basis, the physics stop it from happening.

I as well built 15 cubic inch motors that made over 3 hp. per cubic inch (50 hp.), lets see your 213 inch do that with no supercharging. See how that works? You put it on me I gave it right back. Where is the 650 hp. V6?.

No smog or AC?, how impossible, you haven't a clue. Modern EGR is a hotrod mod, try to keep up.Tell me the dyno guy who has the AC on on a dyno run, an idiot. ECU missing? You know that means YOU have to be smart enough to build the fuel and ignition map too and absolutely impossible for 99% of the populace now, most could not even back then.

You guys are so touchy about a physical world that can be rocked all over the place, it is not a steady one to you and it just freaks you out.

V-sixes suck anyway, there are several physical roadblocks set in their way that costs sizable power losses to be built in and the only way to change that is to un-V6 them.

Allow me my meandering, I'll be gone in a minute. Beer? The beginning of the problem.............I watched as it killed two of my friends.

The result would be as inconclusive like the above 'dyno run' was. They can manipulate the end results all over the map and also make them where they relate to nothing. Where is the RPM given there? Just arbitrary mph numbers with no idea of the amount of dyno braking applied whatsoever, meaning the speed is worthless as an anchor for reliable results. You don't even get a slippage factor. Spin the machine faster and the resulting then-friendly contributary inertia adds power that is not really there. You get more accurate numbers at slower machine speeds but it makes the numbers lower and people don't like that. Reality always sucks. Dyno Jet dynos are garbage.
