this one has the same info...so I'll just show some math...and personally the spec-v is a better machine imo...a vr-4 is way better, but an sl is just a fwd lard ass...
2002 nissan sentra se-r spec-v
2743lb
175hp @ 6000rpm
180lb ft @ 4000rpm
1992 mitsu 3000gt sl
3373lb
222hp @ 6000rpm
201lb ft @ 4500rpm
So basically we are looking at a car that weighs ~600lb more and has less than 50hp more...the torque is less than 25ft lb more.
Anyone with an (stock) SL who lives less than 500 miles away I will race and prove my car is faster.
