hold up. did you actually get the money? he's a dumbass. assuming both your cars are manual and you do all those mods then i would bet on you. an exhaust system wouldn't hurt either. it'll be a good race

Stock vs Stock it's already going to Sentra SE-R Spec V side. The base model C Coupe is about 3350 lbs and that's with no option added on. A loaded up Benz C Coupe runs almost to 3500 lbs. Spec V runs low 7's and C Coupe runs mid 7's out of the factory. If you are going to modify your car then you will win without problem.

C Coupe is a much stronger car in terms of structure rigidity. Most of the extra weight goes into crash test protection etc. Also goodies like air bags for rear seats passenger etc. However it is still consider very buffed because a loaded RSX Type S and C Coupe are 600 lbs apart. Although they are about the same size dimensional wise.

I should add the Pararoma Glass Roof on C Coupe was not included in the final loaded up weight difference because RSX Type S does not have that item.

I think some people were expecting the V-Spec to run 5 sec 0-60s and 13 sec 1/4 miles. Nissan didn't build up the hype as much as some people just thought it was the next super car. Trust me for the price of the SE-R V-Spec nothing else will beat it.

People were just expecting a solid product from Nissan. Not something that only puts out 140hp to the wheel from a 180hp engine. That's a 23% loss from flywheel to wheel.

That was a pre-production car. I'm hearing about guys dynoing them at 151whp now. That's a little more realistic. I still think the Spec-V is an awesome ride for what it costs.

They also tested production model and the results weren't appealing either. Check SCC for the result.

A month later, our "production ready" test car showed and we immediately went to the test track. We couldn't believe it. The car was only an eyelash quicker than the prototype. It ran from 0 to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds and covered the quarter mile in 15.7 seconds at 87.4 mph.

Production ready means that's the same car consumers get. If it wasn't the same car it would say PRE-PRODUCTION.

lets be civilized here.

and let us stick to the point. Is there anyone here that would choose an Se-R over a c-class with a Kompressor????:confused:
I think not

Very mature way to argue there, how old are you guys, 11..13...hopefully you dont really have driver's licenses.

Anyhow, Nissan owns mercedes C class.....they are about equivalent of a civic ex and the costs is about 3 civic ex's, not worht the cash at all

Now that I read what you guys said above me, I would take the benz, sell it and get the cash and go buy a Nissan :p :p :p :p

When you buy benz you get a lot more than just performance. C Coupe have a extremely strong chassis. You also get 8 air bags standard. A lot other safety feature such as traction control and stability control etc.

Are you high or drunk cause I dont believe you just put a benzo in the same class as any honda let alone a civic. Then ur gonna say u'd prefer a Sentra?

How long have you been outta the loney bin?

CanadianG, I drive a Lexus, obviously i dont take the mercedes/germean side in the first place.....so I will never drive a Mercedes because they are louzy cars....at least the ones I have driven in (S Class is the only exception) I have driven CLK230 Kompressor, E320 and E420 new body styles.....what uncomfortable underpowered junky cars =)

ah but now here's where it comes to mind... a sentra se-r vspec turbo 50 shot nos... now that ran around 25k for my friends boss...
now lets compare that against that ugly "girly" might i add <~~ soley opinion don't fire me up cuz i said it... BUT IT DOES LOOK GIRLY
for the same price... turbo and nos with a banging sound system he got with the performance upgrade.. i believe it was a t4 turbo... have no clue on how much boost he's pulling out of it..

11-28-2001, 09:31 PM
hmmm Mercedes Vs. Lexus... that's pretty tough, even though all that lexus is, is a Toyota with a different symbol.

I'd prob take a mercedes because it's german... but it depends, i'd rather have a GS400 than an E420

but overall i'd say Benz is a better company

CanadianG
11-28-2001, 09:54 PM
If a benz in better than a Lex why are we even coomparing a C-Class to a souped up sentra?
Cause I know that a benz will crush a nissan! Not Infiniti but nissan

SC300 is a cool car. The Turbo done up ones are pretty impressive.

IMHO RX300 is just a Camry running on a higher stance.

You can say that...but as class goes, its a Lexus which is very elegant inside, its smooth ride + super quiet engine. I beat a Z71 (lifted), two durangos and gave a Jaquar a run for its money...all in all, I dont feel its anything near a camry...+ it off roads excellent w/all wheel drive. I pounded that thing through plenty of mud door high

even though it's a modded sentra.... it's still same amount of money... so if you compare a 25k worth sentra vs a 25k worth c coupe.. you would take my side.... and yo.. don't take anything i say to serioiusly i'm in the learning process.. hopefully i'll get enough money to start the hobby up in full boost!!!!!! u know what i'm sayin righ?? lol...
this post was first started in anger of a person who thinks the supercharger in the c coupe is inside the engine block.... then he corrects himself by saying that its under the hood... lol.. its funny how people go on and on and on about stuff they really don't know about...

i'd still put my money on the sentra SE-R. for its class nothing tops it. i've just read up on the new Civic Si. that thing is no match for the new sentra. plus the Sentra is the only other FF car sold in this country (u.s.) that has a cusco lsd. the only other car is the limited producted integra type R. the only reason why the Sentra only gets 140 at the wheels is becsaue they screwed around with the exhaust. they had a new method before but now they just used some standard stuff to cut cost by like $1000. sooo just chuck the exhaust and you'll get your 150 hp at the wheels. plus the track record, the Sentra posted up the exact same lap times as the Integra Type R. thats pretty impressive for a car that is a class below it and cost about 10g's less.

That test was done on Nissan testing track. Why not let a third party member such as magazine test it on a neutral site?

i've read it at sports compact car for you information, and they said that the slalom test and they both got the exact speed out. soooo you know~i'm not sayin that it can beat the new type R but its handling is on par with the older model, cusae that was their benchmark. nissan designed the Sentra SE-R spec V to be equal to the older Integra Type R's.

12-09-2001, 08:02 PM
i doubt it really compares to an ITR.... those are said to be the best handling FWD cars in the world, plus it has 200hp

TatII
12-09-2001, 08:33 PM
have you seen the grip level that the sentra se-r has? when you see it corner hard, the inside rear wheel would always lift, thats how much grip that sucka has. and hmm let me think, a 180 hp car thats alittle lighter vs a 195 u.s. spec intergra type R slightly heavier. its pretty even to me.

Do you have any idea what you are saying?

First Sentra SE-R Spec V has 175hp. Also it weights more than ITR does.

That Sentra SE-R Spec V got tested 1 year ago. I don't think at that time Nissan was anywhere close to production specs yet. It could have been putting out more hp nobody knows.

B18C is not handbuilt but rather hand assemble. Please do know what you are saying before making a comment. For your information I pay MSRP on the S2000. You are right I could have gotten a faster car for cheaper price but it will be nowhere near S2000 in the overall aspect.

Acura Canada ITR $31,500 CDN = $21,000 USD
Acura America ITR $26,000 USD = $39,000 CDN

Honda Canada S2000 $48,000 CDN = $32,000 USD
Honda America S2000 $32,000 USD = $48,000 CDN

Can you not say Acura USA got greedy on ITR?

Motortrend and some autoshow had the spec v doing 0-60 in 6.9.
And I beat 2 rsx type s's with exhausts and they run 0-60 in like 6.8.

moe182
07-17-2002, 04:06 PM
Exhaust on a RSX-S doesnt really add that much power.....maybe around 6 or so....the car is well tuned from the factory. So if anything the guys you raced just didnt know how to launch or had a bad run. I mean ive seen (i forget which companies) an RSX with intake, header, exhaust, and better tires....shave off .4 secs off of the quarter mile. It was in the RSX shootout in SCC....

Grendel, your ride sounds good, wish I could turbo my 86 300zx, but I dont have the cash for a new motor + turbo right now.

I actually raced a C Coupe with my 2.5S altima, it was pretty even, I would have pulled on him if I was alone like him. But a SE-R Vspec will tear me a new one, if I could run next to a C Coupe, the Sentra will kill it
