Modified 2004 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V
#26
I had a youngin approach me at a traffic light when in my STI with a Yellow Spec V that definitely had an exhaust mod. I was just thinking he's stupid if he thinks I'm gonna waste my gas on him. I just ignored his revs and refused to race, but I actually had to let off under the normal way I accelerate, because I didn't want to pass him. He was actually racing me. I could hear his engine revving high. I was not impressed, then again, I do own an STI. I'm wondering why guys who thrive on performance buy a Spec V and mod it, and not a srt-4 to keep stock? If you want performance, why wasteall that money modding it, only to still be much slower then a stock srt?

The thing I loved most about that little Spec V was the 9 speaker Rockford Fosgate sound system. I think in the 18 months I owned it my hearing got worse because of the punishing volume levels I would happily subject myself to on a regular basis. After the radio I had a lot of criticisms though...
- horribly geared tranny in relation to the power band of the motor
- clutch and shifter felt cheap
- torque steer was nightmarish
- the 5th > 6th upshift was vague so going into 4th by accident was easy
- the suspension was great until you pushed the car
