[qban537]

i generally dont like abusing the car but i "raced" an altima ..he was infront of me first and second gear i was playing catchup when it hit third ....he took like a car ...then it was a saturn..third ...fell behind again...

well pointless story for a boring day

[shid]

depends on he year of the altima.

[qban537]

heh it was like a 97 and the saturn a 99 ....let me just add this here ..not to add another thread...under the hood it says change engine oil every 6 months under severe conditions...this seems a little...well extremme how often do you guys change the oil?

HAHA, I change my oil every 2500 miles.. or every three months.. otherwise it feels slugish and slow.. wel it is, but u know what i mean.

Also altimas are pretty quick, my buddie had one awhile ago. There stock with 150hp.. I would say its a somewhat even match cause there extra weight.

well i havent had my car for that long but i plan on doin the same ive already put around 3000 miles on it oh well my engine isnt in "good" condition either so yea...but really year for an oil change is wierd

[Supersprynt]

Yes they're slower - kid I knew with a 95? 96? Altima had exhaust and intake and for some reason, it was fast on the top end.

I change my oil every 3000 w/ synthetic mobile 1, it's good stuff, it seems to make my car run smoother.

i cahnge my oil once it stops looking like honey ... its not about the time or the miles its about the color... check the color people, check the color..

The Saturn, if it's an SC2, only puts out about 125hp... but then again they're a lot lighter with all that plastic, so it might be about even.

My mom has a 98 SC2 and it feels very slow compared to my Celica though.

[qban537]

yea man i noticed those cars are like mostly plastic or whatever it is .. we got screwed on the US with the celis! we should've gotten like 200hp with these cars lol i think they were like in the 30k new right?

[Consynx]

yup, still had the high cost on em w/ the low power...

[rocky2006]

tell me about it. my car was 26k new with a whopping 105 hp.

[qban537]

lol hey...it looks good! :\ not an excuse for a 30k car with 100 hp lol
