Hey Kin,


Some numbers you may want to look at if you're debating between the Altima and the Maxima. I would recommend going with an 03+ Altima 3.5SE if you're looking into that area because the first year's 2002 interior was all plastic and crappy. It got better later when consumers complained.

2002 models:

Altima 3.5SE
Performance
Acceleration (0-60 mph): 6.3 sec. Braking Distance (60-0 mph): 125 ft.

Max Horsepower: 5800 rpm Torque: 246 ft-lbs.
Max Torque: 4400 rpm Drive Type: FWD

Maxima SE
Acceleration (0-60 mph): 6.3 sec. Braking Distance (60-0 mph): 127 ft.
Base Number of Cylinders: 6 Base Engine Size: 3.5 liters

Max Horsepower: 5800 rpm Torque: 246 ft-lbs.

Yeah, I emailed the place to get the SAE #s and they never responded :rolleye2:
But it was pretty hot and very humid out when we dynod. My buddy's stock 04 GTO 6spd dynod the same time too, and did 301 STD and 304 SAE while I was there. The SAE's were probably higher due to the weather, which makes me wonder b/c mine would probably only be 1-2HP higher on SAE.

Nice torque, but it's STD which reads about 3% higher than SAE corrected dyno.
Yeah, I missed that too. Still :up2: though.

If my friend's GTO had higher SAE then STD #s, which dynoed the same place, same time as me, then I suspect my SAE would have been higher as well (only 1-2hp like I said above) but that's just to the ppl saying that my chart is "only STD"

SAE is more standard than STD just like Dynojet dynos are more standard. It's just what most people use. It's just to compare apples with apples. Nobody's pissing on your dyno.
