Welcome to the gm's new electronic throttle. My brother traded in his equinox on a subaru tribeca and he absolutely loves the subaru. He said the equinox awd was basically worthless and he described the throttle just like you described it. Bet you the nissan's throttle is more responsive.Quote:

Yeah the Nissan's response is instant on my wife's 3.5 Altima. Quick as f#%^! Even made Beam514 say "Ohh, thats pretty nice for a car with a baby seat in the back!" LMBO!Quote:

Now, hop in an LZ9 or LS4 powered Impala, and your acceleration issues go away. LTZ and SS trim Impalas are of a different animal compared to the oh so common base LT and LS Impala with an LZE under the hood.
My wife loves the Sentra, she's asking me too many questions already about its pricing and whatnot. She can get one if she wants, I'm gona take the d from her, I drive it more than her anyway, and she drives it more than the SUV, it only gets used when the whole family has to go out. My parent's Ford Five Hundred has one of them electronic throttles, that along with its CVT makes it as fun to drive as deep dental scaling.
It is an LTZ with the dual exhaust, Chris, she moves when she finally gets the message lol:Quote:

It's got the Bose system, full leather interior, Onstar, it's smooth, no doubt, just not as responsive as I want it to be.
If you buy one of the newer B16 Sentras, do yourself a favor, and snatch up an SE-R. Normal SE-Rs have CVTs, and spec Vs have six speed manuals. Me, personally...I HATE CVTs. lol I like my gears, even more so, rowing my own gearbox.
2.0L Sentras are holybatshitslow, you'll regret it.
Well now...LTZ. Dual exhaust = LZ9 power. 3.9L OHV VVT V6. Makes roughly 250HP. That throttle issue, I know with the Pontiac G6 crowd (those cars have the same LZ9 engines in GTP models, and the LZE's counterpart, the LZ4) they have tunes to quicken the response of the electronic throttle. I know it's a rental, but that issue is such an easy fix.Quote:

Me being the GM fanboi, and even more so, I have a soft spot for FWD GMs with pushrod 60*V6 power. More things electronically controlled, just means it's more accessable with tuning software. :)
BUT, I do prefer my GA's cable throttle. lol The LA1 was the last pushrod 60*V6 to have a cable throttle.
I have yet to drive a drive-by-wire car that has the same response as a cable throttle, but maybe I haven't driven the right one yet. I test-drove an Avalon a while back, and the same thing, it took a half-second before the engine knew what my foot was doing.
Needs more frontend!

If I had the spending cash, I go out of my way for an LTZ Impala. The LZ9 is a great motor, despite it's tendency to eat a quart of oil every 3000-4000 miles, even when new.Quote:

Yeah, I think I would too. I know a guy from school who has one, and it's pretty dope. I would just do the exhaust, intake, wheels and a drop. And a few others. Hell, I might try to buy my mom's for my DD to build my G.... Hmmm. You just gave me an idea...

I spot a COP system...nice job!
lol! I would DD a new altima anyday in black.Quote:

I like^^!
╚Wetamup2K3G, Thanks bro! Cant wait to see your laces soon!!
OEM chasis lowered on rims is the best look to go with, unless of course, you go J M D...LOL
No bashing at all. Why run an equal length tubular manifold over the stock setup? Because it flows and performs better than the stock 4-3-2-1 header and any aftermarket header for the 4G63/4G64 except for a longtube 4-1 header, which I will get a hand on: either custom or purchase. Being that it's a 'shorty' 4-1 header, the powerband move more to right as with the stock header I had more more midrange from 4600rpm, with this one the power climbs from 4900rpm to redline.Quote:
