Replying to: inaudible (Mar 08, 2007 10:51 am) 6.7 seconds 0-60 mph is stated for the Spec V not the 7.1 seconds for Si. the title of the article about the se-r today insinuates that it could "smoke" an si... the 0-60 in the article says 7.1 Seconds... the same as the si the 1/4 mile says 15.3 seconds at 93.3 mph... si was 15.3 sec at 93 mph im not an expert, but a .3 mph lead in the 1/4 mile isn't exactly smoking the si... And losing is losing.....

| Pissing and moaning is pointless. The SpecV is better nuff said. | |
| I honestly don't think the Spec V is better outright compared to the SI. As much as I love Nissans, especially the original 91' Se-r, 90 300zx tt, and all the 240sx's, I was expecting a tad bit more for the Spec V. I was hoping that they keep it under 3,000 lbs and tune the suspension more aggressively, kind of like a turn key track-ready setup. I was a bit suprised that the m.s.r.p. was over 22 grand, I thought I read somewhere where they said its going to be under 20. You would think they would shoehorn a detuned version of their awesome vq35de engine for something over 22 grand. Maybe stuff the older Altima engine that was pushing 245 h.p. All in all, compared to the SI, the Spec V has the edge in power, brakes, and styling depending on which one you like more inside and out because those things are subjective. Overall not bad, but not great like the original. | |

Replying to: james31278 (Mar 08, 2007 3:59 pm) by the way, they've edited the article since my post... now the numbers (though still far from "smokin") are more indicitave of a faster time for the sentra. i think they might have mistakenly posted the wrong performance numbers yesterday.

Replying to: inaudible (Mar 09, 2007 7:56 am)  The times are EXACTLY the same as when they were first posted. They have not been edited. The PROOF that they were not edited is that I posted the 1/4" mile time from the test in the post BEFORE yours and my posted time is still correct and unchanged while yours is still incorrect. All I can say is that if people will not be truthful about small things and blame them on others, then .......... well, you can come to your own conclusion. I'm disappointed with the handling results. I'd rather have the car slower and have it drive well than have the car fastest in a straight line. The Sentra is a bit too heavy also. |
