After the Stillen show I had the opertunity to drive NPM's project Altima. At Stillen it made more power on the dyno than a track package 350Z much to everyones surprise. It has a Mossy Performance stainless exhaust, Unorthodox UD pulley set and a AEM CAI, the basic bolt ons.

I got to drive the car when we went to dinner after the show. Man was I amazed what this car can do! The car was doing rolling burnouts with ease by just flooring the throttle even with the huge 245/30-19 wheels and tires! With the exhuast and intake, the Altima sounded like a Ferrari, no-kidding. It feel like a mid-14 second car. I was very impressed.

At part throttle just crusing, the car is still quiet and refined, but when the throttle is mashed, it really sings. This car can whoop its share of GT mustangs and the like no problem I bet.

I am so impressed, I want to get an Altima now. I am kinda torn between the Altima and a G35 for the wifes car. I knew the 3.5 Alty was fast but I was not expecting it to respond so well to a few minor bolt ons. I can't wait until JWT finnishes development of the light flywheel to replace the heavy 30 lbs stock dual mass unit and gets their camshafts done. That and when Stillen finishes the header development, Altimas will fly, maybe high 13's all motor from a family sedan.

I love it, M3 performance with a mid 20 k price. I am jealouse of you Alima guys!
