New Sentra se-R spev V

[burgy240]

I saw the new SE-R Sentra spec V today.  It looks awesome.  175 Hp with v-spec tuned suspension and front strut tower brace, 17" alloys.  I didn't even know Nissan made a spec V Sentra.   #### I don't even know what Spec-V means.  That's just what it said on the sticker invoice.  Is that the Fwd sr motor?  Anyway, I liked it!!

Yeah.. #### I guess it is time for the Spec V to come out. . awesome >=)

It's not the SR anymore... it's the QR25DE.. 2.5 =)

Forgot to say, that the cloth seats designed by Recarro kick asssssss. Honestly. The seats are awesome. Alloys are pretty dope too...

how much was the asking price?

I wana see pics! &nbsp;and what does V-spec mean?

its like the Skyline Gt-r spec V im not sure what it stands for but its like a special edition/type of that particular model....... this car seems sickkkkkkkkkk i wanted one......... but now my hearts set on a 350 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

there's a whole deal on SE-R.net about what Spec V means. some said it means Specification Victory, but most agree that its just some phooey rumour. as for the asking price, you can get a Spec V for about 17-18k, some dealers are marking it up to 21. Theres some scandal about actual HP ratings, but i still think its a bad-ass car.

what kind of scandal? under-rated? over- rated? eh eh eh ? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

scandal = overrated
check out the other se-r thread, its got a bit more substance

man 140 @ the wheels would be crappy ...... *shakes head and they wonder why it wouldnt break 7 0-60

[BlankFlip]

wouldn't our cars be right at about that? cuz 155 ain't whp for our cars (91-98), is it?

[MingMing]

naw... ka24de's are rated 155 crank, and then theres more drivetrain loss cuz its rwd, prolly a bit less than 140
but for all purposes other than driving in snow, rwd still better haha

[DSC]

yeah, from what i've read the 91+ 240's only have 135whp stock <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> but nobody wants to talk about that...155hp woohoo!

[matic 240sx]

lol, thats what im talking about... &nbsp; i love telling people i got 155 stock... hey we still have more power to the wheels than most 4 bangers... &nbsp; &nbsp;

i read that the every car in the same price range of the new sentra... &nbsp; the sentra is the cheapest, the fastest, and rated the best! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp; &nbsp;i really can't remember everything compared to but one was the new civic

bout time nissan got on the ball over here

For four grand more, I would much rather have an all-wheel-drive turbo; drift-ready:

WRX, baby!

[MingMing]

its really hard to drift in awd thou...
they grip alot better, and the drift isnt as ... natural i guess u'd say, cuz the front wheels do more pulling too, ur angle is different
and the fac thtat they take the power form &quot;the wheels that slip to the wheels that grip&quot; ... if that quote is true, then you would theoretically have no push from the back, and it'd just turn into an fwd in a drift, hahaha good thing that doesnt seem to be true thou

[BlankFlip]

look at the rally's n stuff, those awd cars take those turns fast at high speeds, they don't necessarily &quot;drift,&quot; but i would in no way say they turn like they're fwd. take them on a dirt road, i'm sure u'll be able to drift them there n have more control than rwd. i've only known one person w/ awd though n he didn't want to ever drift his car n hurt his baby <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

i test drove the spec V and i thought it was a hoot. the car handles awesome, thanks to a great suspension, but mainly the HLSD. that's really what puts it light years ahead of other FWD contenders. as for the hp issue, i think it has been fixed. honestly, i never trusted SCC's numbers in the first place, they havent been super reliable in the past.

oh yeah, a Scoobie stickers around 24k. so in my eyes, the smart thing to do would be to get the Spec V now, and then in two years, trade it up for the 2003-4 STi. That way i would get my money's worth for both cars. hehe.
