ser spec v vs new gt-s

[pinyoot4you]

yea, the gt-s is more sporty
i like the spec v, it's more of a sleeper, except for the aggressive front end

[noreaga0221]

as for earlier, my car is totally virgin.

anyway sleepers are the best thing on the road, i always wanted a 95+ maxima. whats better than 4 doors, 200+ hp and the family car type look that will fool everybody when you smoke them off the line. but i got an eclipse so everybody expects that now.

[THE4TH]

i would go for the gts, although i hate the back end, and the window buttons not on the doors, i know it's stupid but i hate it..
i like the V but for a run down i'll take the celica on this one...

[pinyoot4you]

it's the other way around for me, i like the back end more in the celica than the sentra,
that's only con that i don't like about this car, i'm wondering if there's any bodykits comming out to fix this problem

the spec has 175 hp, but also 180 tq, it pulls reasonably good, the specs have cvtc that has a similar concept to the vvt-i, actually, they're exactly the same but have a different name, i'm not sure if this is better than v-tec, some say it is, and some say it's not

spec v handling is pretty good, it's has a pretty fast slalom (better than the type R) but it's not so smooth

Better than the ITR? Dude, you must be outta your head..The ITR is better than the Spec V in almost every way...speed, power, looks, etc...u name it

[Paonessa]

the only thing about the spec v that bothers me is how low the redline is. i drive a V6 maxima and i redline 400 rpm higher. i raced one and it was relatively close until third gear when he shifted into fourth i pulled about an extra half a car ahead. all said and done the race ended with me about 1-1/2 cars in the lead
Either way you'd end up with a pretty good car. too bad TRD is on its way out of business

Yeah, the Celica has more power on a piece of paper, but its horsepower curve is nothing like the Spec V. I think that the VVTLi in the celica kicks in at like 6500 rpm or somthing. That gives you like 1300 rpms of that power. Ive driven the celica, and it does pull a lot more when the VVTLi kicks in, but below 4000 rpm you would never guess that its got 180 hp. The Sentras 2.5 liters give it enough low end torque and horsepower, along with a MUCH flatter power curve.
I would rather have the Celica out of the two though, it looks so awesome!!

6000 RPM to be exact. The spec V has an awesome low end power, but I don't know why it drops off so quickly. The really hurts the performance of the Spec V. Still good...but i would rather have a Celica and i do have one too.

[benroliver]

Dont even bother with those two, if i had to pick it would be the spec v.

Ok,

I last night raced a GT-S Celica in my SPEC. it was me GT-S and 2000 Preylude. First time we went I got them both off the light but then it took about 6-8seconds for the celica to catch up, he did pass me though. he got me about a half maybe a car. second time again happen, I got him off the light and then he then afterwards started creeping on me again to pass he wasnt stock though, And I was. The preylude just could not catch up. I was pretty happy with the outcome anyways since it took him some time to catch up. I personally dont think its a drivers race because in the end they will just pull. in the 1/4 I give it to the SPEC.:smoker2:

Performance wise I would take the Celica GTS, and the looks are starting to grow on me.

[VR6Turbo]

I would think that the Prelude would beat both of you. What year was it? Maybe he was just a really terrible driver. I would figure that you would be able to beat a GT-S also, He must have been quite modded. 0-60 in a GT-S is like 7.8 I think. The Spec V is around 7.5. Prelude is around 7.3 for the last gen.

[Polygon]

People have gotten the GT-S to run 14.8 in the 1/4 mile stock, you are underrating it quite a bit. A stick GT-S will drop a stock Lude.

[specvracing]

This was a 2000 preylude. I have beaten 2. I have it on video beating the preylude while the GT-S passes me in 4th gear. I cant post it up here though because I need to get somekind of firewire sh&$*#t. as soon as I get one i will try my best to post it up.

GT-S= 7.8 sec? More like high 6's to 7 flat.
Lude h22a= about the same as the GTS
Spec V= 7.5 sec.

I raced a Prelude SH and I only beated it by a half car. We both had the same thing. CAI/Exhaust

Raced a Spec V...it got me off the line, but i passed him pretty quick in third.

I think the dude in the GTS and prelude must have been bad drivers..
