Just raced a nissan sentra spec-v.
At the end of the first gear i had him by a car but by the time he hit the end second gear he was one car ahead of me. After 3 rd gear he was 4 cars ahead of me. I knew these cars had guts but dawn these things can pass the stock scorts easy... This car should pull hi 14 in the 1/4 mile.

I gave him a big thumbs up.

I have to content myself of killing sunfire gt´s and civic si...

Well it is 170hp, but up high in the revs of course. I doubt it would pull 14´s stock in the 1/4 though. I wanna see a mazdaspeed protege race one of these.

The Spec V has a 175 hp 2.5L I-4. But 141 hp only makes it to the ground, rather pathetic for a FWD car. But i still like that car.
I´d like to see a mazdaspeed protoge go against the Spec V too.

Dont forget you can get a spec v for 23 000$ full equip and the mazda speed start at 27 000$ canadian.

Both very nice cars if you ask me

 

[James92Scort]

full equipment for $23,000 on a Sentra SE-R Spec V? I looked through one on www.nissandriven.com and with full options, (which there weren´t many options, at least not yet) it didn´t get much past $20,000 (US).

 

[FourDiceS]

Well i got this off nissan.ca

Sentra SE-R Spec V
PDSF de base* 21 998 $

Ensemble Sport 2 900 $

that´s canadian and it come up to
24898$

It´s more expensive than i tought
but it´s with all the options

 

[James92Scort]

Well Canadians have to pay more for products than Americans. sorry!

If you guys don´t mind a little work, of course, Mazda is owned by Ford so the Mazdaspeed Protege motor, if you can find one, will fit and Nissan used to be owned by Ford so that motor is also a possibility. If anyone happens to come across one of these motors at a junkyard or pullapart, ehich ever you know it as, let me know I´ll definetly buy it. So just helpin you keep an open mind on Scort performance!

 

[James92Scort]

I don´t think i would wanna put a mazdaspeed protoge engine in my car because it´s slightly bigger. at 2.0 liters. I´d rip the piping, intercooler ECU and turbo off and stuff that on my engine though.

My girlfriend´s cousin had a Spec V but he wrecked it Tuesday morning. He died last night due to brain damage. I developed the pictures today of the car and it was smashed to hell and back. He hit a full size F350 in the rear and the bumper came through the windshield. He was hauling ass and didn´t even try to stop before he hit the truck..there was no skid marks from his car. I think he would had a better chance of survival if he had his seat belt on but hitting it that fast...I doubt it. Gang, buckle up!! I don´t wanna hear anything like that happening to one of us.

Damn dude, tell her i´m sorry to hear that. I always wear my seatbelt, partially because the shoulder belt is automatic. but it´s second nature to reach around and clip it into place... in fact sometimes i dont even realize i put it on and try to get out with it on..doesn´t work to well.
Anyway, sorry to hear about something as horrible as that.

Thanks bro. You never know when you might just leave...for good.
