#1 of 64 Nissan Sentra SE-R & SE-R Spec V 2007+ by moparbad Nov 03, 2006 (1:45 pm)
SE-R and SE-R Spec V are returning to the Sentra model offerings. Both models will be announced on November 29th at the LA Auto Show.   What are your thoughts?   press release quote- All-new for 2007, the Nissan Sentra will once again have SE-R high performance models; both SE-R and SE-R Spec V. As a pioneer model in the field of sport compact cars, the 2007 Nissan Sentra SE-R offers more power, performance and technology to this highly acclaimed model. The SE-R Spec V model will be powered by a specifically designed high-output version of Nissan’s 2.5-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine. Additional information on the SE-R with be announced at the LA Auto Show on November 29th. -end Replies to this message: rennie4 (Nov 15, 2006 6:44 pm) nismos13 (Nov 28, 2006 10:17 am)

Replying to: moparbad (Nov 03, 2006 1:45 pm) I think for Nissan to be back in the hot sport compact market, in which they had with the 90's 240sx's along with the classic b13 Nissan Sentra se-r, they need to either shoehorn that 3.5 liter VQ engine like what the member above said, or import the turbocharged variation of the QR series engine that they have in Japan. I believe its the QR20det which is super torquey and would be easily modified for cheap speed. They should make this generation of the se-r spec v extremely raw and give it standard brembos which was an option on the last generation. Give it a track tuned, race worthy suspension set out to raise the bar in the handling department of all its compeititors such as the Civic Si, VW GTI, Cooper S, and the new Mazdaspeed 3. Have the sunroof optional or just don't even have it as an option of the Spec V model and only on the regular ser model. Last but not least, give it some lightweight wheels with super sticky tires and I think if they can somehow price it below 20 grand, this car should be a homerun.

#5 of 64 Spec V pricing by moparbad Nov 29, 2006 (11:00 am)
quote Nissan press release- "The last great component of the new 2007 Sentra SE-R is price. We're targeting a price of around $20,000 for the Sentra SE-R Spec V - which means 200 horsepower for $20K - which we believe makes SE-R Spec V one of the best values in the sport compact segment," said Bosley. "This new Sentra SE-R has a lot to offer even the most demanding enthusiasts. It'll be a thrill to drive, right out of the box." -end Replies to this message: rennie4 (Nov 30, 2006 11:04 pm) moparbad (Dec 01, 2006 4:49 am)

Replying to: moparbad (Nov 29, 2006 11:00 am) A fully loaded sentra is already $20k. With all the performance parts and engine i cant see it costing less than 20, maybe 22-23k is our best bet. Replies to this message: moparbad (Dec 01, 2006 4:49 am)

Replying to: rennie4 (Nov 30, 2006 11:04 pm) $19,999 is the base MSRP for the Spec V. 200 HP for $20,000 is what Nissan was promoting at the unvieling. The pricing is fair.

I have a B15 Spec V and I think it is better looking and I have heard Nissan Execs saying that the B15 is more fun to drive. I think it looks awful they lost the skyline inspired look Replies to this message: moparbad (Feb 21, 2007 10:42 am) nismos13 (Feb 21, 2007 3:17 pm) moparbad (Mar 08, 2007 10:34 am)
