i know there not a max, but they look a lot like our maxs, im thinking about getting one next year maybe, so if any one knows anything about them, like if there any good, what you could do to them let me know, thanx.

 

Spec V ? 175 hp, 6 speed,LSD,ect. At first there where reports of major drivetrain power loss but that is suposedly fixed

 

i know that stuff from the nissan home page, but i was wondering if any one knew anything else about them, esp any times, or if they are worth the money?

 

motor trend just did a writeup of the ser, gti, focus, and civic(?). well..it was four or five cars all in the same price/power range. the ser was the only one that got an over A+ on its report card. the gti came in second..dont remember what the others did. you should check it out.

 

I was talking to someone on here early that has a SE-R and he said he got a 15.4 out of it and could have gotten a 15.3 with a better launch.

 

my buddy's ran a 15.4 after 3 tries(one was as high as a 16.9 )....he tells me its a ***** to launch and one his first run he ran through 1st and 2nd on the line, tires spin like crazy...but the car definently has *****. I think Emax said he has heard of some in the low 14's with ONLY full bolt-ons!!! good car, if in the market I would consider it!

 

what issue of motor trend and could i find it online?

 

this is prolly a silly question, but do you think a 2002 max could toast a 2002 se-r vspec?

 

July 2002 Road & Track:

Nissan Sentra SE-R SpecV 4th place
Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 3rd place
Honda Civic Si 2nd place
Ford SVT Focus 1st place

 

friend ran a 15.1 in his with only intake... hes only 16 and doesnt really know how to drive it yet either.

 

Yes and no

 

yes

 

well the rear suspension sucks. I don't have an se-r, but I've got a se 2.0 sentra. The rear suspension gets very nervous over slightly bumpy roads. Making it very difficult to control sometimes. Interior materials leave much to be desired. On hot or cold days the interior can sound like a bowl of rice krispies.

Oh it doesn't have an Sr20de in it, it has a truck motor....

 

i hear a lot of good things about the spec-v. i have a 92 se-r and i think thats the ****e. if i were looking for a small 4-door under $20k, the se-r spec-v would probably definately be my choice. go test drive one.

 

my buddy has one. if we go from a stop, my max owns him. you hear him shifting lol. BUT, if it's out of a bend, where i'm in 2nd, I'm geared real long, and he always has a gear. ticks me off!

 

hmmm, now heres another silly question, im thinking about getting a new car next year and put it down to four choices, and yes i know theres no max in them, cuz i dont realy like the max bodys after our 3rd gens expect for the 2002s, but i dont have that much in my back pocket so...
