SS/SC vs. 02 SE-r

Lastnight while going to be buddies from a bar (no I did'nt drink) I pulled up behind a Sentra SE-r at a red light making a left. She took off in a spirited manner but I stayed back a bit not thinking much. I guess she relized I was back there cause after about 1/8th of a mile she nailed the brakes and ended up a car behind me in the next lane to the right. She started picking up speed pretty quickly and before I knew it she was gunning it. I was in third at about 35 mph which puts me at about 2500 rpm (way outa my powerband) but that was enough to stop her pull before she got passed my nose. In a couple of seconds I was a few lengths ahead of her so I let off seeing no need to haul much ass in a 45 mph zone.
At first I thought she was a good looking girl cause all I saw was some blond hair while passing her, (typical guy thing I suppose) but when she pulled up next to me she turned out to be kind of a hagard looking mid to late 30's chick...ewwww. :eek7: When she pulled along side of me she yelled "I think I could take you but it's kinda messed up right now!"
My response was..."HAHA...I don't think so"
Her's..."Maybe!"
So I figured I'd put any doubts she had to rest. We lined up for another go at about 30 mph. This time I was ready for her and I dropped in it second. Needless to say, five car lengths came in no time. She pulled up to me at the next red light with an amazed look on her face and said "What does yours stop at?" At first I had no clue what she was talking about, so I said "You mean miles per hour or rpm?" She replies "Miles per hour! Mine stops me at 108!"
I laughed a bit and replied with "Mine will do over 140." Her jaw just dropped and I drove off.

Over all it was pretty cool that an older chick instigated a race with me and she was really cool and friendly about it. I just have one question though. She said her speed gov. stops her 02 SE-r at 108...is that correct or what??

I also know it was an 02 model cause she told me.


I'd also like to know what the performance specs for that year of Sentra are.

No idea about the SE-R :screwy:. But, atleast she was cool about racing you. Too bad she wasn't much of a looker...

Too bad she wasn't much of a looker...

That's exactly what I was thinking myself. It was kinda of a let down :disappoin

Ah well, there's more out there...Heh.

Well then...it looks like she had a slight wieght advantage on me. I suppose she had a snowball's chance in hell... :grinno:

That poor disillusioned ugly woman...

Those sentra's are slow. People think just cause they got an aggressive look, it's gonna tear everything apart. I believe stock they are like high 7 0/60 mid 15's 1/4.

Well a mid 15 isn't the worst ET ever. It's definetly not blazing fast though. But I suppose it would feel like a wild beast to anyone who's never been in a "fast" car before. Say somewhere in the 13's or lower. Then you realize just how slow a 14-15 sec car really is.
Hell, my car runs low-mid 14's stock and it feels slow as all hell to me. Pulls nicely through the turns tho.

if you define "agressive" as being ugly i really agree with you.

I think they are a little worse than a mid 15...I ran one, and put about a length and half on it.

a good driver (like my dad) got his 03 spec-v to do 15.2....and the 0-60 times are like 7.2-7.3 seconds

hey, ugly chicks need lovin too :naughty:.....good race...

Oh man...you don't understand. You could'nt have payed me enough to touch her with a 10 foot pole. You could tell a lot of cigs/beer and maybe some various drugs help her reach her current state.

Maybe, but not from me :shakehead

Nice kill but i'm lost on what car a SS/SC is.

i would assume its a supercharged LS1. but then you said you run mid 14's so i'm guessing its not a Supercharged camaro. hehhehe

Cobalt SS

Yup...it's a Cobalt SS. If we're still plannin on our little shindig, you'll get to see it on your visit back to the world red.

Good kill. Hope to see your track times soon. I'm guessing you'll run a high 14 sec. pass, primarily due to the heat in Arizona. Get a vid of you against a 99+ GT if you can.

Heat??? In AZ? NO WAY!!!

Laf...it's get down to about 95 or so at night...that's cold right??? :grinno:

they got stock se-r's to run 15.1's and 15.0s.. i think they go up to 135 with a spec v.

a spec with i/h/e/cams/safc should be able to pull on u pretty good. she probably wasnt the best driver either.

I owned an '02 Spec V for a while. I know for a fact it goes faster than 108mph. I got that little thing up to 122mph one time before I came to my senses.

That may be possible. But I don't plan on being stock for long. And with these little 4 bangers boost is almost always better.

And the fact is, even if she had John Force's driving ability, she still wouldnt have stood a chance, especially on a roll.

Maybe that's what she ment by "It's messed up" :confused:
Either way, it wasnt pretty.

Well yeah, you mod your car enough and you should be able to beat fast cars.

Which would be the whole point of modding a car in the first place. :icon16:

Yeah I mean it's like saying "well my civic, with an H22 swap, a T28 turbo running 15 lbs of boost, nitrous, propane, methane, butane injection beat a corvette so psssh don't go around saying that corvettes can beat civics!"

Corvette beat a civ? Blasphemy I tell you!

Just ask civracer, he'll tell you the same ;)

u kno anyone around town with a wrx or srt-4, i would really like to kno the outcome.. it would be pretty close.

Damn straight. Nothing can beat a Honda. Nothing...

I know of one dude that has a new WRX. The best time he's gotten out of it is a 14.0. I wanted to run him but didn't have the chance. Maybe my buddy that know's him could hook that up.

I don't know of any SRT-4 owners, but they are a dime a dozen around here. I'll get one on vid sooner or later just cruizin around with my buddy. It's only a matter of time.

Damn straight. Nothing can beat a Honda. Nothing...

Yeah Chevy never beats Honda, but Honda can't beat a Ford....But Ford can't beat a Chevy. Strange logic isn't it haha.

Nope. Honda>Ford. Like I said. Nothing can beat a Honda. Get it straight. Aren't you getting a Honda? :iceslolan Thought so. :biggrin:

Haha yeah I am actually in about a month. I am already hearing horror stories from back home about gas prices.

Gas in Az is around $1.33 or so for 87 octane. :eek7:

What's it at in other states?

$1.33?! wow its def a dollar more here in NC

haha, typo...i wish it was $1.33 per gal!

what i ment was $2.33...this is the lower of the prices, some places it's around $2.37

93 octane in my nexk fo the woods is $2.45 today.

I shelled out $2.71 for 91 the other day...eff California.

Gotta love Texas...lol.

Damn you GW Bush, why couldn't you have been the governer of california instead? :D

Damn, I was talking about 87 octane for $2.37...these prices are getting out of hand!
