Ricers are gay

[HalfBaked]

Hah!

My sentra is 14 years old!!!

Therefore your logic is flawed.

BTW, there ya go.

Sentras aren't rice. They are race cars!

I understand you Chainsaw.

Lawl about the Al Gore comment by the way, last I heard, him and ManBearPig invented the Interweb in 93 was it?

Anyway, back on topic. I personally think it is unfair to say the majority of Sentras are rice. That is like saying, "everyone who owns a Honda is either Mexican or Asian," or "Honda's are only driven by Douchebags," (I chose Honda, because I checked all of your previous posts, and noted you drove one...) I agree with you to an extent though. That is why it sometimes kills me to drive this car. My brother owns a shop in CO (where I just moved from) called 9 Second Racing-( www.9secondracing.com ) I am use to 600 Wheel Evo's, 1000+ Wheel Supra's, 800 Wheel R33's etc. etc. etc. (shop cars they own) The thing I really liked about the Spec V in CO, was A: The price, B: I am one of the few who actually enjoy the cars bodystyle, C: Its daily driveability, and D: I hardly ever saw ANY in CO.

Well I moved out here this summer, and so far I have seen at least 20 different Spec V's just cruising around the Marietta/Kennesaw area where I live! I owned this car for over a year in Denver, and saw 2 if that! What is worse is, yes, the majority I see in GA DO appear to be modded quite un-tastefully. But, there a select few like myself (Baby J and a few others on this forum) who have clean, respectable B15's.

My arguement for defending the car is as follows. Modified B15 sentra's below the Spec V trim can be rice, I agree with you there. Overall, they have no potential with the QG motor-(unless 10K+ is thrown into it), they are ugly out of the factory, and are also very slow. Spec V's on the other hand give great bang for the buck, have potential, and IMHO look clean as hell after a few basic aesthetic mods. Buying a stock Spec V, and doing what is referred to as a VQ swap, where a 6 cylinder VQ35DE is swapped into the Spec V, automatically making it a high 12 second car. That is with no bolt ons, no forced induction, just that beautiful motor being put in! On top of that, Turbonetics makes a very nice turbo kit, (as well as a few other companies) that enable Spec V owners to easily look at the neighborhood of high 200's, low 300's WHP. Also, companies like Revolution Autoworks, and ProCharger (though Procharger is still in the fabrication stages) make a SuperCharger that is capable of low 300 wheel with no motor build required! All of the above make the Spec V faster than many other cars on the road. If you would like, I can find videos of Turbo'd Spec V's killing modded EVO's at only 8 PSI! Though the QR25 can be problem motor, it has a great amount of torque (something you Honda boys probably do not know about!-haha-Just Kidding) in stock, or modded form. On top of that, when it is well maintained it can be quite realible, hence me using it for daily driving.

Spec V's also have the 6 spd transmission, which is great for long road trips (when I drove from Denver to Atlanta in my Spec this summer, I maintained a 29 mpg average just cruising in 6th gear) on top of that, I paid 16K for my car brand new in 2005, (I have an '05) and Spec V's have awesome Helical LSD. The car claws through corners quite well for being a FWD.

I need to take some updated photos of my car, but once I do I will gladly post them, and I will show you that Spec V's with the proper amount of TLC, and tasteful modifications, can come out looking great.

I hope this helps, and I hope it made sense. If you have any questions or anything let me know man.

I understand you Chainsaw.

you win!!! Really I just wanted to see if I could draw a record number of people spouting off irrational stuff out of hatred of a person who is ignorant to the sentra.

really I don't know anything about sentras, but I thought if I picked 240's too many people would agree with me.

and I don't drive the kind of honda your thinking about.
