1967 GTO gets smoked by a new stock Nissan Altima
 
Just now on Jay Leno's Garage. It wasn't even close.

I have always said that today's stock cars will out run our old stock ones, But, have you ever heard someone say "Look, a Nissan Altima!"?

No surprise there.

I bet an F16 would outrun a P51 too.

And a 67 GTO will outrun a 1917 Packard.

Let's see how quick that Altima is when it's 52 years old!

And how much it brings at Mecum in 52 years.

Who cares?

That's right. Parts pushers can't sell parts to Nissan owners because the cars don't break.

A Google search tells me that a 2019 Altima can do a 1/4 mile in 15.7 seconds, while the turbo edition can do 14.6. Don’t rush out to buy these super cars just yet.

In a more modern comparison, I was driving my Yukon back from the desert last night and came up on an Altima going slow in the fast lane. He floored it when I moved to pass, but wasn’t able to put up much of a fight.

Probably would've had a different ending if Pontiac was a sponsor of the show.

Good info....they probably used a GTO with A/C and open rear end.

Anyone that believes that Nissan vehicles don't break down doesn't know anything about cars or trucks.

There is a reason that there is a website dedicated to Nissan problems:

Thanks for providing some more evidence as to why I rarely agree with you.

For some reason you seem to think that calling a former true parts professional a "parts pusher" is a unique personal insult.

I consider the source and wear it as a badge of honor.

Don't forget, 1967 was the only year you could get a 2bbl carbed GTO too...

Nissans are junk. Their CVT transmissons are garbage.

I stand corrected.

Never made sense to me why they ever built a 2bbl version. I would have respected a OHC 4bbl GTO more than the 2bbl.

I had a 190k on a Versa cvt before it grenaded . I would avoid another though . It was just my work car for a few years so I don’t know how it was treated before me . Carfax didn’t show a prior trans replacement . Too bad the cvt cost so much to replace though ! The car just wasn’t worth it so I had to send it to the yard . Darn shame , It was actually a nice car and surprisingly comfortable - you just don’t get much respect driving one lol I’ve had a few nissans , seems like little electrical gremlins & rusting out are the biggest issues I’ve encountered .
