Go try to drive your car fast staying under 4k rpm and 60 mph, my car is supercharged and it's still not fast with those restrictions. If you stomp on it it tries to hold the gear to higher rpms and it slams into the rev limiter then the car wont go anywhere. If you try to shift it with the paddles it slow to 60 and then it just wont do anything more.

I've done over 100 mph in his Altima, how is my car with that tune any more dangerous than his car?
your altima = wrong wheel drive.

Under 4k rpm and 60 mph there is nothing hard about driving my car. My car has the 7AT so he doesn't even have a clutch to play with. I don't think you realize how unimpressive these cars are if you can't go over 4,000 rpm, it's not much more impressive than his Altima. My concern is my car going to a parking lot full of stupid kids or him catching the wing with a mailbox or other stupid crap like that.
