are you sure about that?!?!?!
the CVT has the SR20VE in it.. which is 190HP then again its not manual.. or REAL manual anyway.. but still 9.6 sounds like way too long also the CVT's are 6 speed not 5!!

maybe the euro version's dont have the VE??
I know for SURE that the Japanese Primera Camino CVT has the SR20VE which is 190hp through 6 gears... and theres no way in hell it can be slower than the 145hp SR20DE through only 5 gears.... I'll have to find out about that euro spec car as to which engine it comes with...

ok... i havent found out the engine for sure...
but i did notice that in europe they have a CVT and CVT-M6 the CVT is an automatic which "shifts smoother" so i guess 9.6 sounds resonable now... i thought you were referring to the CVT-M6 which is one of those sequential automatic/manual/shift on the fly systems... also the M-6 is the one w/ the 6 speed... not sure if the euro M-6 comes with the VE or DE, but in Japan its the VE

The CVT is a tranny that uses two variable gears to vary the gear ratio infinitly. Theoretically it's the smoothest automatic because there is no shifting only a belt moving along smooth surfaces as the ratio is changed. Also thoretically the tranny can change the ratios on the fly and keep the engine at 4500rpm or whereever the max power is produces and just change the gear ratios. So the engine speed is stable but you accelerate.
The CVT-M6 just creates stepped ratios that it snaps into so that you get that geared tranny feel. It's still infinitly variable. Hence the name Continously Variable Transmission.  I'll stick to my geared manual trannies, Thank You!

Manuals are more fun, but CVT's are, ahem, faster, and get better fuel economy. So 9.6 sounds way of.
Also, CVT's can't handle alot of power (they break), but they are improving all the time!

i don't know that much about the euro-spec primera so i guess ihave to get schooled. On a recent visit to portugal i noticed that they use 98 octane gas and their cars don't conform to the strict emissions that our cars do.. they don't believe in 5mph bumpers or side reinforced door beems, hence aren't they lighter and more free breathing. Wouldn't that make them faster? i did get a chance to drive a nissan sunny which looks alot like a sentra and has the ga16de motor. this thing hauled serious ass. The cars over there seemed tuned more for top end. My rental nissan micra with a 1.0(that's right a 1.0)was able to hit 180 kph ;that's sick.

Go here and download the video of my primera 2.0 SRi P11 (130 HP) doing 0-85mph. On a German autobahn of course :-). The official 0-60 time of my car is 9.8, look what i get! of course it could just be down to my skill :-) Neil

Well everyone, i finally got my G-tech back last night, and tonight I tested it out with a couple of back to back 0-60 runs :-)
Here's the info: Full car of crap, sub (single 12") spare, jack, everything in car. myself driving and a passenger. So it's about normal for everyday street driving. I am still not that great getting off the line, i either spin em or kinda bog with this lightened flywheel, but I will get it down, now that i have my g-tech back :-) I had a chance to test it at a couple lights (out in the middle of BFE, don't worry) and i averaged 8.1 seconds. Got a couple 8.2x's, a few 8.1xs, and a 8.0x. Now, it's also about 90* outside still, so I'm totally confident that with a little more practice with the lightened flywheel, or even a tad less weight (no passenger, sub, etc...) I could pretty easily cut a 7.9 or lower 0-60, no problem. If I get real ambitious later in the week I'll pull my sub and go test... just need to find a smooth road in the middle of nowhere, so it's as safe as possible... Hope this helps answer some questions...
