The New SE-R V spec
 

that thing just came out...it's got mad HP and torque, it's the daughter of the Sky-line GT-R or so I heard...and a couple other goodies hmm......but I still like the Mazda Protege

How about an european spec WRX with 315hp, 6-speed, Brembo brakes, from the factory @ $30,000. Ouch!!!

Now this one was at the ALT Wheels. Bad Ass!!!!! And yes that is a Wings West kit.

There is no way in hell that car comes from the factory just like that? If so then does anyone live in Europe that would be willing to purchase this car for me and send it FedEx? And is there anyone in the US that would like to buy a slighty used MP3? :bt:

I'd drop $30K for a 315hp WRX in a second
 

Also, Wings West rules!

As for the Nissan Se-R Spec V blah blah the name is too long........ I don't care much for the styling, and I've read that it'll be tough to get more out of that engine (not sure that's true). Sentra's gear shifting leaves something to be desired too. I'll take the limited slip though!!!!:bt:

That WRX is fuggin PIMP:eek: :eek: :eek: :bt:

WRX FOR SURE!!!
 

If the above WRX sells for $30,000 with 315 HP, 6-Speed, Brembo Brakes, BIG Front Mount Intercooler, possibly an upgraded turbo, rims, body kit; :eek: I'll take one for sure. The stock WRX costs $25,000. With all the mods listed above for $5,000 more?!?!?! NO QUESTION!!!

(Just needs those black projector headlights though)

1. yeah, must agree on that subaru except for the wing on the back...and hopefully you can raise it up for those backroad tours :)

2. i just got a callback from a nearby Nissan dealer (first callback ever from a car place so maybe this guy's actually working at selling cars!).
He said they just got a shipment of the Spec V's in (unfortunately in red..) .. $23,000 Canadian. ooooh.
Of course, my P5 is on order hopefully coming in soon and I love the hatchback and extra cargo space it has. But hmm spec-v... ah well Nissan financing is crap anyway 8+%?? they're right up there with VW and Honda.

Maybe if they had run that ad campaign/contest with the place I work I'd like it more.. hehe

My friend dynoed the Spec V and it produces 150.8hp in the first run and 149.7hp in the second run. The third run was 151.6hp.

This is about 14% power loss from the drivetrain.


The Spec V has big 215 45 17 tires and a helical limited slip. This caused a slight decrease in horse power.



Don't forget this car has the best lap time in the bunch! Alot faster than the second fastest car!

The only bad thing that kept me from buying this car over the MP3 is its shifter and build origin.

I am still considering.....

but it's uglyyyyy.... I didn't even want to test drive a Sentra, and while they tried to improve the SE-R it still doesn't match up to a regular protege, let alone the mp3
