those EBs are FAST. my gf just got one: fx2 with the 3.55 LSD. we made the road trip to dallas for the cowboy classic with our whole tailgate set up and 5 ppl in it and still made 20 mpg. and that was with me yelling "TURBOS" and flooring it everytime we needed to pass someone lol

The Altima has this

My Lincoln was a 14.7 @ 98MPH car and I know Altima SE-R's will always inch the 03-06 V8 LS's, they are geared to go with a final drive ratio of 4.13 and the fairly tall and long 1st gear... don't let the FWD make you think this car is a slouch from a dig... it's got the gearing to power through it's handicap pretty well... not only that but once going they seem like they never run out of the same steam they began with... they glide past 100MPH with ease and keep going at the same speed

CAI+tune and you will take him easy though...I know stock the ecoboost flex's go from being low 14 second cars @ 97-98MPH to low-mid 13 second cars @ 102ish MPH after a tune

Same here for the high 14s but I bet a good tune could cut an easy 1/2 second off those times. Turbo cars love the tune. I picked up 7/10ths of a second when I ran my toybox vs. just letting the turbo do the work.

Had no idea they were running mid-high 14s. Thanks for the correction. I don't doubt a tune will knock off at least a half second.

There's a vid of the SHO running high 12s with a 'tune only' so maybe they have gotten something straightened out
