altima se-r

[N/A EK]

PERFORMANCE: It's not much of a stretch to say that under the hood of every Altima SE-R is the heart of a 350Z. They share Nissan's fine 3.5-liter dual overhead-cam, 24-valve VQ35 V6 engine. In the SE-R, it's tuned for 260 horsepower, at 6000 rpm, with 251 lb-ft of torque at 3600 rpm. Torque is developed at low engine speeds, for good real-world acceleration. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, with a five-speed electronically-controlled automatic also offered. The automatic, with which my test car was fitted, has a manual-shift gate, and can be used easily in manual mode. But, given the amount of torque from the engine, and wide torque band, D works just fine most of the time. A lower final-drive ratio than other V6-powered Altimas further enhances performance.
