I'm just messing w/ ya.

As for the tranny thing, I imagine everyone knows that. But it shouldn't be enough to sway the results....

You've never driven a 6spd Altima then.

The Altima SE-R is NOT awd. It's fwd. And they have 260 hp, not 300.....

Back in 2006, I drove a brand new Altima SE-R that a friend of mine had just bought. I thought the interior was very nice and it had maybe the best shifter in it that I had ever felt. And it was mildy fast, but I was disgusted by the big torque steer that it had. How can you enjoy performance driving when applying throttle results is a light, disonnected feeling, tugging, steering wheel? I also remember that it had less hp thana 350Z for some reason and was definitely FWD, not AWD. I would say it's a nice car and it's fast by 95% of people's standards. If Beating people in stoplight drags with a lowly Altima is your idea of "fun to drive," I'm sure it could do that. But it was more "novelty to drive" than "fun to drive," for me and those that enjoy good vehicle dynamics.
