Loses(not many)
Close race to a SRT 4(til is supercharger kiked in)
Close highway race to an ACura NSX
Mercadesbenz tie I think it was a 5 series( Good driver)
Fastest I've been in 5th gear 135mph.
Never enough room for 6th.
quarter mile times in the high 14s.
Mods; only cold air intake, K&N air filter, and a small supercharcher.
Would never trade it.

Tell me more about this "small supercharger" please

That guy in that Mustang must've sucked at driving.

no way, no way in hell. how did you have a clsoe highway battle with an NSX? was he even racing? and that mustang shouldve raped you. i dont mean to dog sentras, i love them over more powerful cars due to their light weight and go-kart handling, but they are not that fast. people who buy sentras shouldnt expect to go real fast. learn to have fun with them just by driving them and throwing them aroudn corners. thats what the sentra, is all about.

You did not beat alot of those cars. Sentras are almost as slow as my car. My dads damn car cant even touch those cars. Actually the only people on my street that could are a Carrera and a Firebird. High 14's? Most of the cars listed run better than that. And they have a shitload more torque then your car..... Fucking BS.

the mustang isnt hard to believe, i just took out a gt earlier tonight, the nsx, bmw 5 series and mercedes are all jokes though.....you didnt beat the srt4 until its turbo kicked in, you beat it until he got traction.....lol i beat them all the time to 3rd gear then they pass me like im standing still, the sentra wont go any faster than 140 with those mods so how did you do 135 in 5th? btw superchargers arent out for the spec yet, but revolution autoworks is fabricating one......

oh and alpha, high 14's is VERY possible, i do 15.1 with just a cold air intake, its insulting to say a sentra is almost as slow as a honda, please refrain from associating our cars with your garbage

Alpha didn't say the Sentra wasn't doing 14's. He just said a lot of the cars listed run much faster. And BS on beating that Stang GT. A high-14 second car cannot beat a car that runs a 14.2 unless the driver wasn't even trying. By the time both cars reach 100mph, the GT would be nearly 7 carlengths ahead. I'm sure the car you beat was either a V6, a 1998 or earlier model, or you just thought you beat a GT.

And as far as the NSX remarks, there's no way a little 175hp bean-shaped car is gonna come close to a 290hp Honda with a 176mph top-speed. Especially on the HIGHWAY!! But then again, it's probably always/only a "close race" when he loses.

I have a 1990 Maxima SE 5-spd with only an intake and lost by LESS THAN 2 CARLENGTHS(at 75mph) to an 02-03 Spec-V(with exhaust and whatever else) from a stop. So you're telling me that I could probably tie with a 2000 GT V8 with my old 160hp Max?

Not to mention things like:
"Nissan Maximum"
"Voltswagan"
"Mercadesbenz"
and the fact that superchargers don't "kik in"(not on any factory supercharged cars at least), althought the SRT-4 is turbo'd anyway.

This whole thing reeks of BS and I hope nobody looking for real info about Sentra takes it seriously.

oh and alpha, high 14's is VERY possible, i do 15.1 with just a cold air intake, its insulting to say a sentra is almost as slow as a honda, please refrain from associating our cars with your garbage

^And by the way, that's a VERY closed-minded thing to say^

I got a thumbs up from the 2004 maximum driver after i passed him.
Not all of these races are from zero.I'm not stupid. Most of these cars
do post a quicker quarter time but your average driver cannot drive.
I am by far not your average driver. I can get every pound of torque from my car that it is capable of at all times(its not always the car dude)
I out drove the srt 4 through mild traffic. The benz driver out drove me
he is the only one. The NSX driver pulled away only after 110mph.
Again Im not stupid. The stang driver was into it at about 40mph and coudnt do s..t. You just don't know how to drive if you can' hang.

Everything you guys/gals are saying is they post
faster quarter mile times. Those times are done by professional drivers not the general public. Again
the only race from zero was the srt4. Oh and by the
way, Every time the 05 265hp maxima puched it on the highway at about 80-90mph I put it in 4th gear
to about 110mph and always passed him. three times. Just because you don't know how to drive your sentra, don't hate...

fugiot, the mustang I beat was a black gt piece of
you know what. I don't know why you people are so
afriaid of the older stank gts they are not that fast.
My 1987 supra turbo embarassed a pretty red 2000
stangk gt from 80mph to 130mph. my 87 turbo does not accerate as quick as the specv sorry. Ive been driving longer than most of you. I have owned a nissan max rated at 200hp. I raced a guy in a 2002 max 222hp in vegas from zero and he stuck around til 4th gear when I easily started to pull away and slowed down because I thought he gave up. In 5th gear at 120mph I pulled away from an Acura legend. I smoked a mazda rx-7 gxl 1987-88-89. I had more trouble from 2003 and up celicas than any honda. "I DON"T DRAG these CARS".
I got blasted by a stang gt with mods from the light. Learn your car. And how to drive before you post.
excluding the NSX.

Guess what there genious, beating someone that can't drive isn't a kill. That's like saying my 1.6 killed a Ferrari because the other driver stalled his car 5 times. And you know how to drive your sentra so much better than the rest of us, huh? Guess what the most important part of racing is??? The launch. Anyone can redline their gears, but maybe the other people weren't, because had the brains to know that it was just some punk in a sentra and to not kill their car. Had the NSX tried, he would have murdered you. A 265HP Maxima with any competant driver would kill you. Guess what, the SPEC-V has some of the most overrated HP and TQ numbers on any car. It may have 175 at the crank, but at the wheels its only around 130-140HP. you say you have a"smallsupercharger" I would love to see some pics of this, or like to know what brand it is, if you did custom fit it yourself...

And another thing, there is no reason for a 222HP Maxima to lose to your older/less HP Maxima when you guys were neck and neck, unless he shifted early into 5th.

Watch the hostility, guys... We're here to talk about our cars and honor them, not bash them. Maybe he can't beat the cars he says he can, who knows... but lets not trash the spec v's, hondas, or stangs.

there's no trashing going on at all except the bashing of the initial poster. Driver error does not make as big a difference as he says. And although Stang GTs might not be very reliable or well-built, they're still frikkin fast.

And if it's the fact that you're some fantastical driver beating all these high-end cars, that's what you should've titled the thread.

"Hey guys! I'm a freakin awesome driver! Check out Ma Skillz", instead of implying that the Spec is faster than the cars listed.

any stock or mildly modified mustang gt is a very close race, if not a victim, to a spec v, with the exception of the brand new GT's which murder most things under 40k......mustangs are not as invincible as they seem, but they do sound a hell of a lot better than a spec

If you want to know how fast the spec v is, Take a look at my victums.

Fastest I've been in 5th gear 135mph.
Never enough room for 6th.

Would never trade it.


Okay I have a stock 01 GT Eclipse 5 speed and i've beaten a V Spec sentra that had a header, high flow cat, 3' exhaust, aftermarket muffler, and cold air intake. I have a hard time believe you have beat all of those cars

and ive dropped a gt eclipse with exhaust intake and i think headers.....with only my intake, remember guys, not all races are going to be the same, some people drive better than others, but even michael shumacher couldnt pilot the spec v to a kill over an nsx or a bmw 5 series, point at hand, our thread starter= NOOB, mustang gt=pwned by spec v unless serious mods are done, honda, still slower than my go-kart, i actually saw one beaten by a 5hp junior dragster in the 1/8th mile.....

I dont really appreciate getting insulted by someone who knows nothing about me. Most of the people on this site dont like it when someone comes in and makes up a bunch of shit just to seem cool.

Apparently no one replyingto me can read. Who said anything aboubt a launch or even beating an nsx. The bmw 535 is a punk bemmer at best.
My 92 325i was faster. I have driven many cars in many races. I am not trying to be cool. I don't back down from a race because the book says
the quartermile times are faster. I posted only ONE drag"SRT4!"
CAN U COMPREHEND THIS. A supercharger is a constant high forced air
intake. I work with a tuner that showed me how to make my own supercharger out of a 12v 35000rpm blow motor. Does any body know what a blow motor is? DUHHHH! And I know what is at my wheels.
I been on the dyno and have actual 170hp at the flywheel 200 at the crank. LESSON 101 in racing: Races come out different because of
driver differences and timing. Whether the max driver redlined or not I
handed him his ass hands down. I lost to the exact same model
on a slight incline on the highway because I was in 5th and I should of been in 4th. I miss geared due to fear of 265hp was supposed to win.
Just because some of U fear, don't blame the car. And for gods sake,
The little srt4 only post 14.5 quarter stock 2005 read up. If I am at 14.8
or 14.9 quarters any mistake by either driver will yield drastic results in the outcome. When I raced the srt4 none of my mods were done and
had a bad set of tires. If you think people don't take me serious in a sentra 2.5 think again. In Vegas, I was challanged at the light by a Callaway twin turbo Vette that does well over 180mph. He puched it but mygirlfreind was in the car and I knew I wouldnt win but coud'nt beleive he wanted to race. I got smoltered by a BMW M3 at 333hp up a highway ramp I tried to catch to no avail. He took off after he saw me behind him. I never taunted any of these races. And for all you max lovers of 265hp, ITS HEAVY. 265 dont mean jack. If any body saw CAR and DRIVER test the Acura RL st 300HP, it' s qrt mile was 15.1. A stock sentra at 140hp is doing the same. No manufacturer rates HP at the wheels. THe 350Z is only 230HP at the wheels. So don't even try to get technical B. I can't help if most people drive like Bs.

alphalanos , No insult or nothing but ah,
I destroyed a moded honda civic ex by at least 10 car lengths from 0 to 100mph. Maybe Nissan did
something to my car. Every time I take it in for an oil change they say "That thing is fast isnt it?"
By different service men.

nismo_pilot , I agree 100%. they do sound better.
5.0s aint all that any more.

cficare68 , I didn't beleive I would win all these races when I raced them I was as shocked as you are. All sentra's are not made the same. All drivers
don't know their cars. I don't doubt that you beat
the guy. I raced an all NISMOED out 02 spec V and
he could'nt do anything with my totally stock bad tires 02 spec V.

NSX Falls under LOSES!!!!

Like I said before, you MUST be talking about 1989-98 GTs. Cause a 1999+ GT will destroy a Spec-V. Remeber, a Spec does a 15.6 stock, whereas a GT does a 14.2. Listen, it's IMPOSSIBLE unless MAJOR driver error occured in the GT.

Oh wow, you beat a 120hp civic with your Spec. Good job. I didn't say you beat an NSX either, but you did claim a close race which is BS. You probably just thought you were racing while he was adjusting his radio or something. Also, people know that a 265hp Maxima turns a 15.0, which, yes, your spec is faster than. But if a driver isn't trying, then you didn't beat the car. You beat the driver. So it doesn't make any sense to go around saying "My car is faster than this car and that car", when it's the other DRIVER that lost.

Flatout: if the Mustang GT(14.2), NSX(13.0), and SRT-4(14.3) were trying as hard as you were, you woulda got your ass handed to you.

And by the way, 99-2004 GTs have a 4.6 V8 which is much more powerful than the old 5.0.

Yeah sorry dude but alot of these claims that you have stated alot of us need proof on. So unless you have all of them of video tape your not going to make a believer out of most us.

fugiot ,Who said anything about faster? I never said
a word about top end. And stang gts are fast
all of them. the car looks the same from 93 up to
04. It could have been a 98. I never raced him from zero. We both puched it at about 40mph. We stopped at the next light coming down from 80mph.
He looked supprised! The race was over. He did not pass me and I did not pass him. His car sported the
GT emblem on the back. i made sure it was a GT.
He looked pissed. I don't make shit up to empress people I don't even know. What do I gain? Nothing.

For all you non beleivers. I never stated that a spec v is faster than a mustang, NSX or srt4.
THe nsx was racing and totaly left me at 110mph
on the highway. Posting quartermile times on these
cars says that you are not intelligent enough to read thouroghly. WHO SAID Stop light kill? My car is not faster than any of these cars, most drivers SUCK on the highway. A 4 cylinder is not going to beat a powerful 6 or 8 from the light. So keep your insults to yourself. Most Maximas a governed at 120mph. I had one. THe legend is also. My brother has one. AGain CAN YOU SAY OH< YOU DID"NT RACE THEM FROM THE LIGHT. MY BAG! CARS DON"T
ACCELERATE THE SAME ON THE HIGHWAY> STOP BEING A STATUSTITION AND CHALLENGE SOME BODY ON THE HIGHWAY> I PROMISE THE OUT COME IS NOT THE SAME> The 200hp accord got left at 130mph when I was trying to catch the MERCADES. I have driven longer and more cars
the most of you. I'll list later.

Damn, you aren't even listening to me. I didn't say you beat an NSX or SRT, but you claim a CLOSE RACE with an NSX, which is BS. Also, Mustangs did NOT look the same from 94-2004 and became exceptionally faster in 1999. From a 40 roll, a 99+ stang woulda stomped you. But yes, I can definitely see you pulling side by side with a 1994-98 GT. No problem with that. And excuse me, but I've owned 3 maximas and never have I seen one with a governer that I could even run into. My old 1990 can break 130 and my Mom's 1999 VQ can break 140mph. I'd bet you money that an 04 with a VQ35 will definitely NOT have a governer at 120mph. More like 145-155mph.

And the thing is, you'd probably have a BETTER chance from a launch with most of these cars. Like we said, the launch is the part where driver skills shine the most. All any of these cars had do to from a 40 roll is drop it into 2nd and rape you. It doesn't help your case that you just keep bashing other people's driving skills as a reason why we don't know what we're talking about. Want skills? My 145hp SE-R went neck-and-neck with a 2003 G35 Coupe for the first 2 gears. How? Yes, the launch. But once he gripped, I stood no chance against a car with over double my power. If you wanna lie, it's more believable from a stop.

Yeah dude they did not look the same. They looked the same in 94-98 and then 99-05 they had a different body style. Also the 94 and 95 mustangs where the last 2 years that had the 5.0 engine after 95 they where 4.6s.

Also, you really need to proof read and spell check what you are writing before you post it. Hell if you have to type it Mircosoft Word press F7 to spell check it, and then copy and paste. It really makes it easier for everyone to read.

No lies but your SER numbers must be a lie. If you are donig 14.7 quarters the srt4 shouldn' rape you at 14.3 or 5 or 6. So now who's the LIAR.
You don't have to beleive anything I say. Driving skills are not only shown from stop. Handling is a big
factor in skills. My mother can drive straight from zero and stomp on the gas. There is no skill involed
with automatics. When you have to manuver through traffic at high speeds without f..ing up
and smoke your opponent...that is skill. Your ser
may do 14.7 but on the highway I would crush
you. sinonora....

First of all, you don't know me or anything about my skills. Second, 1/10th of a second is over a carlengths distance in the quarter mile. A 1 second difference is a RAPE. A 0.3 diff is a kill. Compare, which is faster?
Honda S200o or 350Z. Everyone knows it's the Z but there's only a 0.4 second difference for such an obvious advantage.

See, I didn't really care before, but now you are messing with other peoples lives. I hope when you hit someone that they are lucky enough to survive, along with you, so you can spend a few years in jail and realize what a dumbass you are being putting other lives at risk for the "fun of it". Do it on the track if you want us to give two shits about anything you say.

And for god sakes learn to spell, if you have been driving for that much longer than us, you should at least have the spelling ability of a 7th grader. And its saiyonara, just so you know.

Okay I have a stock 01 GT Eclipse 5 speed and i've beaten a V Spec sentra that had a header, high flow cat, 3' exhaust, aftermarket muffler, and cold air intake. I have a hard time believe you have beat all of those cars
I'm not trying to call you a liar, but i've raced with several GT eclipses in my 03 spec v. 2 of them were modded and the closest one that has ever come to beating me was one that was right on my back fender at 85 mph. this was from a stop, all of them but one were from a stop. Also, guys... I have seen people in stock srt4's run 13.2-13.8, why are their quarter mile times listed so high?
On a lighter note... this has beed one hell of a post...

Apparently your a better driver than the guy i raced. He took me off the line but by the time I redlined 3rd i was ahead of him by a nose. I'm not saying i left him i barely got him. But we raced twice with the same outcome and it was from dead stop with him counting off. Not thinking you where calling me a liar and i am not calling you a liar. Power isn't everything. The driver does make a difference

Hey Fugiot, calm down. Your right, I don't know how
you drive. And second. I ain't mad at you or anyone else on this sight. I know how far a tenth of a second is. So for you i will say Hey guys! I'm a freakin awesome driver! Check out Ma Skillz". Do you know anything about how the measurements of a powerband work. The majority of(The cars we are discussing) cars do NOT continue to accelerate to top end at the rate of time/distance as in the quarter mile, or shot run. If you punch the gas
before your opponent from a cruise 40 to 80mph
as a starting point, the other car has to double your power to over come your car. NONE of the cars I listed have 400 Horses and none of them accelerate to top end as fast as they do through the 1/4 mile. This does not mean if I ppunch first they cannot catch me. The NSX, STANG, and the BENZ, and even the MAX will all pass me as I'm reach the plataeu or decline of my power band. As
you get closer to top end, the accereration is much slower than from start. Not all cars respond the same to high speeds. The NSX tore away from me at about 110mph but we started at 80mph. From zero I don't stand a chance in hell. I justed wanted to see how long I could hang at high speed. I'm not
trying to insult anyones intellegence but I never
said the specv was faster. On that day in some traffic conditions, I bested the opponents listed
as if on a race track. Not from ZERO. When the 200hpV6 accord was right beside my to 120mph
I pulled away to 130mph 5 carlengths ahead of him.
But that doesn't mean he can't do 130mph it means
I got there first and quicker. So is the specv faster than the ACCORD? Cars don't always finish the way they start. In 1987, My bro had a 3.8V6 firebid and his friend had an 87 5.0V8 camaro. We would race to the park. If either car puched before the other it seemed faster. They performed at high speeds the same. Anyway dude.
I know more than you think.
try respect before assuming.

Ok, first off try making some sense, as all I see is a failed attempt at an insult. All I am saying that driving like an idiot is going to cause an accident, and when you do, I hope the other person is lucky enough to survive a crash at 130MPH, or whatever speed you feel is good to do in and out of traffic so you can feel like a hardass in your car.

ok i neglected to bring this up but since i actually drive a spec im going to let you guys in on a secret, spec v's get pulled by almost every car on the road in a rolling race above 70mph, reason? the spec has no high end power, for gods sake i had a close race with a vibe gt from a 70 roll, i think a bicyclist on a downhill might pull the spec from a roll.....the specs strength is off the line racing, if you tell me different ill knwo youre lying, anyone who has actually driven a spec will tell you the same thing....and the ser isnt as powerful(fugiots) but its lighter therefore he will probably run the times hes listed racer....as a seasoned spec driver i call this post a huge load of BS, sorry man, ive wasted a porsche 911 on the interstate, then he downshifted and went right by.... : )

This was Fun while it lasted. JerodKing , no insults,
but I have never driven through traffic at 130.
I make sure no one but me is in danger at higher speeds. If there is a racer, he also is at risk.
Never hope for bad things. My post sturred
you all up. I do know how to spell but I have little time to post, and I make mistakes typing. So
I you don't like my post dont read it. Simple.
Peace.

Also, that's why you don't redline every gear on the Spec(or B15 SE-R). The power's all in the middle. My old SE-R has an excellent top-end with a 7500rpm redline.

But, RacerX, your last explanation just seemed like a squirmy little way to get out of this whole thing. Yes if you stomp the gas before the other car, they will have to catch up.....

Ok. I can agree to some of this. But i do have to agree, it all depends on the driver. I with my 2001 sentra se beat a 300zx n/a in the 1/4. I also beat a 98 stang GT. Neither of them knew how to launch right. I was surprised today tho when i saw a Spec V and he wanted to race. I pulled off on him right away, he screeched his tires, but couldn't catch up till after i let off the gas. BTW, im stock. Every one is a different driver and has skills known to them. It really depends how well you know your car. If you can launch great and your opponent can't, you will pull out infront and stay there for at least 1st gear. unless they're car has a big difference in HP. The driver wasnt so good either. He seemed to shift too early in gears. But being close to an NSX is a joke. Even I wouldnt believe that. My uncle owns one(95) and its a blast to drive. its scarry when the power kicks in about 6400(not sure), but a spec V shouldn't be able to keep up if it was serious. Unless i see some video or somethin, im not goin to believe u for the most part. 1/4 times are just there for an estimate, not everyone can drive their car to that, every car is different. If 1 spec V has an AEM intake, and another the same, they will post 2 different dyno #s.

If you have a supercharger tho, post a pic of it, cuz i dont know of any that are out on the market.

Loses(not many)
Close race to a SRT 4(til is supercharger kiked in)
Close highway race to an ACura NSX
Mercadesbenz tie I think it was a 5 series( Good driver)

I know it's been said already, but if you had any knowledge of forced induction (clearly you don't, so I'll tell that means turbos and superchargers), you would know that TURBO's kick in, and superchargers work through the powerband. And yes, the NSX would have murdered you. Just because he was driving 90 mph and you decided to try and catch up to him does not make that a race. Mercedes Benz' vehicle designations are not called Series (thats a BMW your thinking of there buddy), but rather Classes. I think the problem here gentlemen is that this guy thinks that looking over at the car next you, the other person looking back (wondering why this guy is looking at them and erraticly revving up next to them, probably annoying a few housewives and businessmen in the process) does not constitute a race. Several of the cars you mentioned would destroy, and I mean, DESTROY you. I think his "small supercharger" is that little windmill thingy they advertise on informecials called the "Vortex Power Turbine" or something like that. Essentially a little pinwheel you stick in you intake to "MAGICALLY INCREASE HP BY 10 PERCENT, FOR ONLY 19.99!!! Call in the next 15 minutes and we'll send an extra one for you husbands car too, absolutely FREE!!! I own the same car as you, with Greddy cat-back and AEM cai. Stop kidding yourself.

Whatever.

Nicely Said

Ok, first off try making some sense, as all I see is a failed attempt at an insult. All I am saying that driving like an idiot is going to cause an accident, and when you do, I hope the other person is lucky enough to survive a crash at 130MPH, or whatever speed you feel is good to do in and out of traffic so you can feel like a hardass in your car.
Agreed, racing like that in traffic is stupid, and dangerous. Join a rallye club, or go to the strip. Two dead friends of mine, one in a CRX mini-me and one in a Civic Si, are up in heaven right now shaking their heads at you, hoping you will never drive like that in traffic again. It doesn't matter if your not bouncing off the governer; if your bobbing in and out of traffic racing people, it's only a matter of time before someone someone's head goes through a windshield or gets mashed internal organs from a high speed collision. Ever seen a spun out Si that hit a telephone pole doing 100+? It looks a little more like a pile of debris than a car wreck. Seatbelts and airbags aren't helping you out too much at that point. I have hit 132 in my old LS/VTEC 92 Integra, and 155 in my friends 86 Porsche 951, on a stretch of highway at 2 in the morning which absolutely noone is ever on. We even look back on that now and think we were stupid. Stop endangering people's lives, and satisfy the NFS somewhere where you are at your own risk.

........PWNED

Also, that's why you don't redline every gear on the Spec(or B15 SE-R). The power's all in the middle. My old SE-R has an excellent top-end with a 7500rpm redline.

But, RacerX, your last explanation just seemed like a squirmy little way to get out of this whole thing. Yes if you stomp the gas before the other car, they will have to catch up.....

So in my spec, when do you think I should shift? Just trying to get a little 411 in the middle of a heated debate, lol.

aight zach, now i can help someone as opposed to flaming them, you want drag shifts? rev to 3000 and slip the clutch out, when you get rolling about 5-10mph dump it out and you should get some tire spin but not much, if you get wheel hop you know you dropped it too early, also you shouldnt bog down in revs either, that part will take some practice to learn how to feel your car out, redline first, shift at 5900 in 2nd, 3rd carries its power all the way to redline so i usually go ahead and shift at 6200, then you should be done with the 8th, run the rest of your gears up to 5500 and shift.....i ran a 9.85 in the 8th in my spec, car and driver ran theirs at 9.98......and im in florida with 90% humididty and 85 degree air temp at time of run

This helped me too, just got mine a couple days ago :)

3rd's power stays until redline? Uhh, it's still the same power curve.

Go:
1st = redline
2nd = 5800
3rd, 4th, 5th = 5500rpm

Thanks, man... will try this when I get mine fixed :(. Bad noise in the front end... might be a cv joint/shaft.

dont ask me why fugiot, maybe im just imagining things but 2nd loses power around 6000.....3rd doesnt lose it until the rev limit kicks in around 6200.......maybe a new qr25 trick? lol

I don't understand why people driving side by side on the road then decide to go consier that a race. There are aspects, takeoff, and shifting, just to name some of it. Thats like saying in my old escort i had i drove up to an STI and he touched his gas and we got hit by a stoplight and i beat his STI in my escort.
From start to finish.
Who wins.
Thats a kill

Close race to a SRT 4(til is supercharger kiked in)
Close highway race to an ACura NSX
Mercadesbenz tie I think it was a 5 series( Good driver)
Fastest I've been in 5th gear 135mph.
Never enough room for 6th.
quarter mile times in the high 14s.
Mods; only cold air intake, K&N air filter, and a small supercharcher.
Would never trade it.

Holy crap, this thread is 3 and a half years old. I even forgot all about this forum!!

And yeah, that guy was beating supercharged SRT4s with his Spec that runs high 14's WITH a "small supercharger". Hahahaha, this is one hilarious look back into the past.

wow fugiot posted. that really means something lol.

awww, was I actually missed around here?

hahahaha i just realized i spent the last 20 minutes at work doing nothing but reading this. that guy seriously got pwnd!!!! and thaat whole beginning was bs huh
