being a former Nissan mechanic I do believe in the Wednesday car. Shitty cars come from the factory because the workers are hung over on Monday, still don't want to be there Tuesday, Wednesday is good. Then Thursday and Friday they are looking forward to the weekend. It seemed like Maximas were the worst. Most ran like you would expect, a few were complete dogs, and every once in while you would get one that would haul. I stomped one and slipped the tires (not a burn out but more than a chirp) from 40mph. I think alot of it has to do with the self learning ECU's. It learns your usual driving patterns and adjusts fuel and timing to that. The people the baby their cars all the time tended to have cars taht were a little slower. The people that drive more aggressively (not thrashed) had a little more performance. I haven't worked at a dealer since the end of 05. Things may have changed a lot but i doubt it.
