sentras are ok...but id go for a maxima over them any day</P>
I have a SN95 convert and though some people may not care for them they do have a lot going for them. The main resons I chose this year was as follows: Newer body style, way better interior, 4 wheel ABS disk brakes, duel air bages, better suspension, and still has the 5.0. Obviously this car has its down side, mainly do to its intake and computer programing, and a little heavier. Now this is in its stock form, I <U>never</U> intended to keep any Mustang I bought stock. I purchased it for 9K with 85k miles on it. In the two years I have had it Ive put approx 6k in to it for a whopping 15k total. Which in my opinion is not that much at all. I dont think you could buy a new Sentra for that. I have a built 347, upgraded suspension, etc. This car can keep up with the best of them for a fraction of the cost.I think I made the right choice, if you think this car sucks, thats your opinion, just beware if you pull beside a green 95 convert.<IMG src=smileys/smiley15.gif border="0"></P>
I never said your car sucks. But if someone's gonna call my car slow, than every stock/close to stock SN95 GT is slow too, because we all run within a few tenths of each other<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

I think you have some serious growing up to do. I found a black 92 240sx for under 5 grand. a 5 grand motor swap (which is overkill) with the SR20DET as GSR said...and I would kill each and every GT model Mustang on this forum, unless they're running Cobra times. When are you going to realize there's more than Mustangs out there? Open up your eyes, just because it doesn't have a horse on it, doesn't mean it's automatically a piece of s**t. </P>
I can see your response right now. "Mustangs are the kings of the road!" "Mustangs are my life!" </P>
<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0"></P>
Mustangs are my life? uh yeah right...lol.</P>
I have a 71 Mach1. Its not fast. I built a 68 coupe for my brother, its not fast. I have a 70 GTO that isnt fast it only runs mid 13's. My 79 Formula with a 455 is isnt fast either it only runs 11's. A Sentra that turns in a 15 or even a 14 isnt fast to me. im not sayin its not a good car, but I will say I wont own one.</P>
I will spend my money somewhere else. I own alot of different thigns, one thing I wont do tho is race magazine times. Just because R&T got XXX.XX @ XXmph doesnt mean all of them run that. HP numbers are subjective and dont really mean squat. having a 900 rwhp Turbo whatever is intersting and kinda cool, but if it runs 13's then it still isnt fast. What matters most is who is first across the line. At least in racing, what matters otherwise is do you really like what you are driving?</P>
</P>
Also everyone should know the limits of their car, ie dont race a Viper with a Stock Civic or Geo Metro its silly, a waste of gas, and why get a ticket when everyone in the courtroom will be laughing at you.</P>

How am I talking bad about them? Saying they'll lose to a built 4 bangerforlessthan the base of one is talking bad about them? riiiight...</P>
Seeing as how you're the only one that keeps taking offense, yet you don't even own one, why should I stop talking on a Mustang forum about Mustangs? No one else seems to give a s**t. </P>
Why are Mustangs the top dawg on your list, yet you don't even want one? I got you beat right there, I want one eventually. You're going to have to drive something, and since I've been here I think you've basicallyruled out every other type of car to own as either it being "ugly" "slow" or a just a "ricer car with a ricer engine." <IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0"></P>
If you are a true car guy, you wouldn't go "they look like s**t" and be gone with them, you'd appreciate ANY car for whatever reason. I hate Cavaliers, but the fact you can make a 2.2 squeeze out 405 hp to the wheels (i've seen dyno sheets) impresses me and makes me think...what if??</P>
Stop being so closed minded about stuff. You may learn something new.</P>
Yeah 900 hp should be faster than 13's. Will give an update of RWHP as soon as I get my valvebody werkin right again...</P>
</P>
I know ya wasnt directin it at me, theres alot of guys who own stangs who dont race them. Mine is only a low 13 car anyway. Im just a poor USAF E5 who pays alot of support for my kids, so cheap is my only way. <IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0">But its all good, in time I will have my car where I want it again, and it will take alot of Sentra hop ups to run with it. lol.. Relax im just bustin a bit, all in fun.. </P>

Depends on what "lightly modded" means for a 4 banger. Hopefully more than the 10 horses you get from the 3 foot wing...<IMG src=smileys/smiley20.gif border="0"></P>
An 02 up Spec V puts out 180 torque at 4000 rpm. I had an 04 V for 11 days, and DAYUM...that thing was quick with the tight *** 6 sp and the 175 hp and all... A lightly modified one with I/H/E and cams could put out 220 hp easily.</P>
Even with it's 100 mm bore and low redline, I know 300 hp isn't far off. Hell it's already been done with the new QR25DE. </P>
The Vs run low to mid 15s from the factory. It's just a question of if you want to spend the extra 7k to get Mustang GT times for Mustang GT prices, which I hope we all know is possible.... </P>
</P>
I used to own a 02 Sentra and I know all about them. The Spec V's claim 175 hp and 180 tq at the flywheel. But on the dyno stock they put out 146whp and 149wtq. So they are a little overrated. They're nice but a little overrated in the#'s. And the QR25DE is no where near as strong of a motor as a SR20DE. Major engine internals are needed to top 250whp in a QR25 where as you begin to need internals at 500whp in a SR20.</P>
