my friend has a spec v too, it is pretty sweet. For what it is, it is an awesome car! There is no way I would trade my max for one though.

I like the way the spec Vs look with those 17s...however i just came to the conclusion the other day that i wont look at any other car for a long time. i was thinking about getting a new car this summer but i love the max. i see myself in it for another 3-5 years easy. i think its an untapped resource in a sense that most dont realize its potential. i plan on showing that potential fully in the next few years, probably all NA. I think people like Nealoc and vqdriver know whats going on and I really want to be one of the people that shows that this 4-door family sedan not only looks pimp but can haul some a$$.

By the way I skunked one of those last week that had the usual intake and exhaust set up, keep the Max for sure.

You have a 96 5-speed SE. You've only just begun to explore the potential of your car, and you've got the best platform with the most aftermarket options. Your 18X8s are probably sapping some of performance out of your car. So the Spec V may feel a bit more spirited. Your rims may look great, but there's always the give and take when it comes to rims.
If I were you, I would really explore the idea of getting JWT ECU, MEVI, and perhaps LSD in the tranny to polish things off. That's hell of alot less expensive than a new car. And it will blow the doors off of that Spec V you're dreaming about.
Look at posts by Requin6 and Dave B. They have pretty much the same car as you with ECU and MEVI. You don't know what you're missing.

ok ok ok guys,
sport compact car said this about the se-r's handling
"it seems like the handling people and ride quality people got in a fight and nobody won" ****ty ride, ****ty handling.
and of u read automotive magazines every comparo w/ the se-r it loses
it has loads of torque for a 4 cylinder, but even the new civic si and focus svt beat it out
just cuz u have a nissan maxima doesnt mean that the sentra is automatically good because its a nissan. do some research, you'll realize its not that great of car

?!!!! WTF? They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Anyone who would put three engines in a Sentra in the same year is definitely insane. Just my two cents, not that you asked.

If you do get an SER, get one of the last '03's....the '04's look like utter trash compared to the '03. Nissan has been 'uglyfying' all of their cars as of late with their idea of brand recognition.
