WRX vs. Sentra wit mods no chance?!?

I didnt know these Spec V's were honestly that fast.... beating rsx's and mustangs and especially civics left & right.... Damn i gotta get me one of these, they're damn good looking cars too. Cept for the tiny minusicule detail i did'nt like (in my opinion) is the back. UUggghh..
But besides that its all good. Now what i really wanted to know is that if that the thing is these "WRX's" so are so bad wit that AWD turbo in all, is there really a chance that a Spec V can actually take it wit like a turbo and mods for under say like 6000$? If so... I am fo sur getting one.


Oh yeah, forgot its FWD.
*sigh*:(

My spec is bone stock and I raced a WRX with exhaust and only lost by about a car length and we raced to well over 100 mph he pulled me hard off the line but in 3rd gear i started coming back. I was impressed but i wanna win next time.:smoker:

i test drove a wrx and i wasn't really that impressed. don't get me wrong once that turbo spools at 3500 rpms it rips your head off. but it didn't feel that much faster than my spec v. i think the only reason those things are so fast is because they don't have to worry about losing traction. and they are about 10k more than a spec. if you get that turbo kit for the spec for 5k, and then catback exhaust you'll smoke the wrx. the turbo kit gives 250 hp to the wheels. so you'd be killing almost anything on the road. i'd do it, i just can't afford it. hehe.

Im was thinking of to trade in my older integra (ls) and saving up even more so i can finally purchase the car i've always wanted: Integra Type R. But now with that damn good V Spec out now, Im not so sure.....Dammit......

What do you think? Anybody?
Type R or. Spec V?
I like the Spec V too, but honestly?

dude, you should get the type r. i used to be a diehard honda man, but i needed a 4 door car, and nissan was the only one that had a powerful 4 door. but if i could afford a type r integra, i'd love it. don't get me wrong, the spec would be sweet too.

type R would win in a race hands down.....

but i wanted a car that has a lot of potential and i wanted a car that you don't see everyday. in CA, all you see is integs, civics, and accords..... i wanted something different

honda/acuras are pretty cool, don't get me wrong, but i want something different...but i have a project civic hatchback sitting in my garage

try this kids...
bone stock 5spd wrx runs 14.1...our cars, bone stock, with a good driver...15.1...
if you think you have a chance against a rex, think again...no hipe, no gimics, they hands down own us...that is what another 8k will get u...

man running a WRX is no competition from a stop, they would whoop us like there's no tomorrow. With a i/h/e in a Spec with a good driver and a stock WRX with a bad driver, maybe the spec would have a chance

Hi guys, I'm new to AF, but I'm not new to sharing spankings with my sentra. If you guys wanna see what a 1990 nissan sentra do to a WRX, honda S2000, a turbocharged lexus IS300 and AudiTT check www.back-yard-productions.com go to the video vault and download the videos that has the name sentra in the titles. I'm just trying to make a quiet introduction and to say, screw a WRX. Keep in mind, my vehicle has no LSD against an all wheel drive car. Enjoy............

All I can say is DAMNNNN:eek: Was that you in the car? Some tight ass racing. You must have been at the right place at the right time to get an AUDI TT, LEXUS IS300 and an S2000. Good job.

Thanks for the props "Bro";) I was on my way home from the track and so were they. The guy in the S2000 is a friend of mine and he had been waiting to get me on the open road for a long, long time. He had spanked another friend with a 95 200sx with an SR20DET in which I built and he said that now that he was done with the student, he'll dust off the teacher (In his dreams). The Lexus just popped up out of nowhere and so did the audiTT. MY friend was happy because he got tired of getting smoked. He actually tracked my speed up to 152mph where he said he was tapped out. That guy in the lexus said he was doing over 160mph and he told everyone it just seem like the little sentra wouldn't back up. I didn't know the guys in the AudiTT, but they were very cool and liked what they saw. Yes, that was me driving my girlfriend's car (believe it or not). This is my test bed for creating my own beast:devil: which would consist of better everything. BTW, I ran those guys with a dying T25 @ 15psi of boost. Not one honda yet has proven to be a highway contender with this car. And my car should be completed by the end of the month; I'll keep you guys posted.........

Man it must be nice to have a beast of a car and just spank almost anything that comes your way. Hopefully I put a turbo in my SpecV by the end of next year. Shit....hope I never run into you on the streets if I'm ever in Florida.;) What part of Florida do you live at, because some friends of mine are supposed to be going to Pensecola this Friday.

my uncle runs a spec v with Injen CAI AEBS header Mossy exhaust UR crank pulley KS mod BS removed Meganracing FTB GC coilovers Stillen Front fascia Red CF velocity hood CF valve cover and raced a stock WRX on a 1/4 track and was beating it by a whole .5 sec for best time and my uncles not the greasted launcher

yeah....spongebob was talking about stock vs stock, apparently your uncle's isn't stock if he has i/h/e/p/ks/bs. Comparing modded to stock is pointless, especially when the entire thread is comparing a stock sentra.

This thread is also 8 months old :D

oh oops my fault didnt notice that was WRX vs sentra no mods

this is my responce, spec v's are cool, and so are WRX's, and so are Type R's. i got a spec v cause it had the most options for the best price. BRAND NEW. i would love to have a type R cause the body kits and all of the shit that is allready out there is amazing, but i would be like every other honda dude out there. my friends have hondas, one with a beafed B16 in a 91 hatch, the other has a turbo B16 89 hatch. i just see them every where and i dont like it. i like killing hondas cause they all think they are hot shit. the WRX on the other hand, not many out there, AWD, turbo, and they look awsome too. they do make alot of stuff for those things like upgraded turbo, intercooler, and many others. a good rule of thumb is, start out with a turd, you are going to get a turd when you are done. but the WRX. Type R, and the Spec are not turds, not standard production cars, they have some performance in mind, and that is what makes them so cool. I love my spec v, i wouldnt trade it for anything, it is the only car that i have really liked for over a year and still get excited every time i get into it. they didnt make a lot of stuff for it when i got mine but they do now. they are a good contender for a wrx but you have to put some money into it. i could be a good corvette condender but you have to put money into it. they way i see it, if you take that 8 grand and stick it into a spec v it could be faster than a wrx, depending on what you did. but bolting on a turbo is dumb, you have to do alot of shit to get the motor ready for the abuse that you are going to want to give to it.
enough of me talking, they are all nice cars. you cant tell a honda dude to buy a VW, and you cant tell a WRX dude to buy a Nissan. that is why there are so many cars out there. so you can choose your poison, and get what you want.

Why is it dumb? I have a bolt on kit for the QR25 for under 4K that will smoke the shit out of a WRX. ;)
