MAN!! from wut be hearing and readin, Can stock Sentra SER Spec-v's really burn Acura RSX type-s and more cars... i get it if they have like cold air intakes and more but, STOCKED Spec-v's killing RSX's, 240's, and more, can this be true?!!?

I'm sure with a few mods they could take those cars (SCC said Spec Vs can get double digit gains out of some basic mods)...

Spec Vs and RSXs (base model) have about the same advertised hp (I think) With a good driver in the Spec V it could probably take em...

i've heard that specs can beat rsx-s, but i've never done it b4....i raced against one but he supposedly had NOS, so he cheated, he smoked my ass

well, i can tell you from experience that a stock spec v can beat a type s rsx. i did it. and he was modded. i'm sure he had intake cuz i heard it. and i am bone stock. and i beat him by a car length. so it is possible. think about it dude......a type s has 200 horse and only 142 torque. we have 175 horse and 180 torque. and the rsx is a heavier car. they only have us by 25 horse while we have them by 40 torque. and thats what makes the difference. they might hop us off the line, but once we reach 2nd and 3rd gear....there's no competition. we start pullin away.

i love it.....a 4 door family car woopin on a sports car....its so fun.

Yeh check out the Kill List thread. You'll see the people who have beaten them. I had it be quit a bit i thought that it would be closer guess not.
Our cars are suprising.

pinyoot4you · #6 07-04-2002, 02:50 PM

i thought we would take off from the line since we got the torque and more low end power than the rsx-s?

Let me just throooooooooooow my 2cents in this one as well. I too can tell you from experience. I ran one about two weeks ago and I beat by at least a car. He had me alittle bit off the line but once that second gear was hit I just started to pull on him so bad and so on and so on. Think about it.
SpecV 180hp... 180lbs torque
RSX TypeS 200hp.....142lbs torque
That's practically even...in my opinion the specVs should win that one like I did or it should real close.
But the answer to your question is yes, A stock SpecV can beat a stock RSX TypeS or at least hang right there with one.:alien:

zane11 · #8 07-05-2002, 07:55 AM

Yeh, i already beat 2 of them. Not that impressive for 200 horse. Both times i had them the hole race but it was definitly the most fun race i had im sure of that cause there suppose to be faster.

And i hear somthin about a rsx type-r with 220 horses anyone hear bout that ?

pinyoot4you · #9 07-05-2002, 03:01 PM

the only encounter with an rsx-s is when i lost and i was suprised as hell

anyway, i knew he cheated cuz he was squeezin cuz i was pulling the whole way and then he suddenly passes me up like nothing, bastard!!

I don't have times when i do it on a street

This information is very good to know since i was lookin at both the spec-v and an rsx type s, i was leaning toward the type s when i stumbled across these forums and wanted to see wat real owners thought.
Also the spec-v is probably beating the rsx because the rsx has less hp then advertised.
Check out magnaflow.com, and look and cat-back ystems for the type s and it will how it actual hp.
thanx for all the info guys

well, i haven't looked at the site, but its probably giving wheel horsepower. which is always about 25-30 horse less than the hp at the crank. for instance the spec v is rated at 175 horse, but when dynoed with an injen cai, it had 149 horse. while before the intake it had 142, which is about 30 horse less than the advertised 175. so whenever you hear the horsepower advertised from a dealer its always power to the crank not the wheels. just thought i'd throw in my .02

Yeah, those v-specs are baaad!! Every time I let off the gas pedal one catches up to me in my GLI!!!
