Can the Nissan outperform this Honda?
The car is a 1998 Nissan Altima gxe, which I saw for sale. The car I'm comparing it to is my 2003 Honda Element Automatic. Both are equipped 4 speed automatics. Both of them have 130,000 miles. However the biggest difference between these two is the curb weight and the aerodynamic drag. The manufacturer specs claims 150 how, 154 ft lbs torque on the Altima. The Honda produces 160 how, 161 ft lbs torque.
Clearly on paper, the Honda produces more power but my question is how would the Honda do against the Nissan on the freeway? In terms of acceleration, handling and overall performance? Can it keep up with this older car? Is the Honda Element the slowest car on the road or it's just on par with every other normal 4 cyclinder economy cars?
