"Spec Vee" or Spec 5" ?
jloveindy(another forum) brought up something that made me think.
Is it true that it is the "Specification 5" machine. I have been totally calling it the "Spec Vee" - and thinking it's for Special Vehicle like the "SVT - Special Vehicle Team" Fords. Are there any sites that prove one or the other.

"I was wondering that myself. If you're pronouncing it "Spec-vee" you're incorrect it's "Spec-5" as in roman numeral 5 (V). Spec is for Specification, thus this is the SE-R, Specification 5.
Why is it the 5th specification though? I would guess that our car commemorates the 5th generation of the Sentra line. The original Sentra SE-R made it's debut in the 1991 Sentra model and carried on through 1994, this was the 3rd generation Sentra. The 4th generation Sentra model (1995-1999) did not have an SE-R but did feature a two door 200SX and a four door Sentra SE, but they weren't as sporty as the SE-R they replaced. The 5th Generation reintroduces the Sentra as more than just a spoiler package and alloy wheel, the car now has bite again."
Thanks,
