03 ser spec-v with cold air intake and catback exhaust. it was my friends car. we raced at a stop light till about 80 mph. i brake torqued to 1500 and light turns green , actually spun my tires through first gear.(surprised me, he spun his tires too) pulled ahead of him about 2 car lengths and stayed same distance until we let off at 80. i might have inched away maybe but, very close............. not bad for an auto 3.0 max. remember stock for stock the vspec is slightly quicker.....

Sweet good race. Should be very close usually. I would figure your 15.0 gtech time =about a 15.3 pretty good for 3.0 auto. my best time is 15.4 @91(or90mphi4got)

Wow! I would have bet money on the Spec V to beat a basic-mod Y2k auto.

thats pretty impressive - those Spec-V's are supposed to be pretty quick. Good run!

AKM2k5

ahh... quick like what? He got a few car lenths on him, i pulled on a spec-v and was 7 cars by the time i hit 90........ (dont know if that spec-v was an auto or not though)... but those cars should be easy money for us...

spec-v's are 6spd only...the regular se-r with 10 less claimed hp is available in auto. Anyway...are theset hings fast...imo NO! anytying with that much hp[ and that much torque (not to forget the LSD) from a nice packaged 2.5 should be running better numbers than that... It's nissan's stupid gearing...why the HELL would they put a 6spd in that ugly pos... (they're not hard like the rsx)

But you have a 3.5 engine.!!!!!! Maxgsxr1 have a 3.0 like me.!!!!!!!!!! Different story........

180hp from that little 2.5 POS is pretty impresive, dont you think?. you only have 60 more hp from one full litter, the 6sp will give a hard time for an auto 2k/2k1, most likely win by a tenth or 2 in the 1/4....the 2k2/2k3 will kill it though

Well...either I'm a terrible driver or my a s s isn't sensitive enough, but when I drive my friends 4th gen GLE (slightly modded with intake, y pipe, cat back) it seems to own my friends spec v (headers, intake, udp, cat back)...am I crazy?? I've driven both...

the gearing in the V-specs is awfull, you need to shift to 3rd to get to 60mph. The car is quick but you spend most of the time shifting. The rev limit is also low for a 4 banger.

I would think that the B15 SE-R with the wider geared 5spd and lighter 16's would be quicker than the Spec-V with the closer 6spd and heavier 17's. Torquey engines don't need tons of gears like a high-strung VTEC engine does - the 6spd must be purely for marketing. I think they only made the SE-R/5spd/16" one or two years. Now the regular SE-R is auto-only.

i test drove a spec-v before i bought my max...and those things are real quick...makes you feel like drivin a boosted civic...and handlin superior to that of maxima...but then again i liked the low revin smooth sound of the 3.5 and size also matters
