Replying to: jd10013 (Aug 21, 2007 2:09 pm) huh? what about the s2000?!!! what about the 6speed manual v-6 accord coupes and sedans? i would hardly call the maxima a 'performance' vehicle, as it weighs more than the altima, and still has the limitations of fwd...which don't allow it to be grouped with the likes of the gt-r or the 350z.

Replying to: k5ldb (Aug 21, 2007 6:47 pm) unfortunately, even comparing numbers from the previous generation spec v to the new si, the si is still the winner in the handling and transmission dept, as well as the interior. the spec v is only ever so slightly quicker. (new and old versions.) |

Replying to: laneg (Aug 21, 2007 10:03 am) i don't think it was. Nissan shouldn't have claimed that, and the V should probably be tested against the more mainstream versions of other brands. They shouldn't have used the spec-v badging and maybe just called it a Sentra S. but see, here is the problem. the spec-v IS supposed to be the 'hardcore' version. Remember, there is the SE-R and the SE-R spec v. its not that the car is not 'worthy' of the title, it just really does not perform as well as the competitors. the regular SE-R would be your 'sentra S'. |

Replying to: bullardohio (Aug 25, 2007 5:35 am)  92 in the quarter. They pointed out the red seatbelts although they didn't say just how ridiculous they are. Their unit had been abused on the brakes so it took 142 feet from 60 but otherwise they said the performance numbers should be typical and accurate.

Replying to: jd10013 (Aug 26, 2007 8:50 am) This is true although for the few hundred dollars more the Si costs it comes with traction control and stability control you can't even get on the V. I believe the V is an excellent vehicle for what it is meant to be. In some ways it's better than an Si and in others it falls behind. I don't think it's amazingly better than the Si like at least one contributor suggested. |
