MSRP for a SE-R SpecV is $17,500

research is a GOOD thing

The Sentra SE-R is under 20K, I should know I bought one. And there are no nismo parts installed on it either. Nismo are after market parts. Nissan boosted the HP and torque without adding turbos, they just increased the size of the engine to 2.5L, that's the largest 4 cylinder engine out there. I have the Spec V and it's as fast as a 6-cylinder Mustang. For the same amount you would pay for a Focus ST, you could get the Sentra SE-R.

lets see, a Sentra for about $17,500 that runs high 14's and has an killer Nissan sponcored AM

or a $18k+ Focus with basicly no AM support from Ford and runs mid 15's

or do what i did buy a mid-high 15sec escort for 15k new, chip, udp, shorty header, and be low 15's for under 16k and still have a warenty

I guess I was wrong, I was getting the prices out of one of my magazines that had a showdown between the Sentra SE-R SpecV and a Lancer Ralliart. And nismo is the in-house tuning arm of nissan, much like mopar to dodge, or mugen to honda/acura. All the pictures Ive seen of SE-R's have had nismo exhaust components.

I'm glad i opted out of this one. I think i'll keep it that way now.
