What I find very juvenile (no offense juvenile!) is that Mr. Nissan fanatic comes on a *HONDA* forum and starts talking sheet. Is there a purpose for that?
Go to a Nissan forum and give high 5's with fellow Nissan drivers about how *sucky* hondas are.
And I seriously doubt a Nissan Altima would kill an S2K......S2K is much lighter.
The only reason why an Altima would beat an S2K is the driver sux.
I'm not trashing Nissan Altimas, I respect 240 hp out of a six cylinder, even if the drivetrain isn't very efficient.
Hondas do tend to start off a bit wimpy unless you get into the higher end models, because they are 4 cylinder and low torque....but once you uncork the engine, those things scream.
Plus, I like the fact that I'm getting good gas mileage as well.
Sure, a V-8 can beat me (marginally) for now, but soon I'll be smoking V-8's with only half the cylinders and I can still pay under $20 for a tank of gas!
Moral: Don't go to a forum talking smack on whatever the forum is devoted to (i.e. Hondas)
