You just never know, but since the V-6 goes from zero to sixty in 6.4 seconds, it probably means that the 2.5 can’t do the quarter mile in 15 seconds. Consumer Reports describes the V-6 as very powerful. The V-6 apparently does it with time to spare. ---

According to C&D’s last road test a 2008 CVT 2.5s is good for a 16.2 second 1/4 mile at 87 MPH look for yourself at [http://www.caranddriver.com/content/download/93627/1202047/version/1/file/2008NissanAltima2.5S.pdf](http://www.caranddriver.com/content/download/93627/1202047/version/1/file/2008NissanAltima2.5S.pdf)
