i seen on one of the sentra forums today a link to the new spec-v. its looks good. it finally has enough power to be worth a spec-v title, and comes with a lot of other features. so far, it is 200hp-n/a, 17 inch wheels, 12.9 inch front rotors, limited slip diff, 2.5 liter(qr25), short throw shifter, and special compression pistons. the spec will be a totally different car then the se-r. the se-r will only be 177 hp. and it is going to be priced under $20k. ---

i seen one of the front end, and back end, the front looks just like a maxima, it has the same headlights, shape, etc. im not crazy about the looks, but the hp increase is worth it. the only downside is its a little beefier then the current b15 platform, it is around 300-400lbs heavier, so that sucks a little. i also seen it has 10.5:1 compression pistons, so thats a little better then the ones i have. it looks like nissan finally built a qr25 that can handle aftermarket power. ---

I’ll still take an Altima SE-R FTW… Give it about another year or so and they should be in my price range. ---

Some info about how its built in the links below. In all honestly if it gained that much weight and still has the rear beam suspension, i’d rather see Nissan tune a Versa instead or just go with the Altima SE-R for the V6. > **[2007 Nissan Sentra Pictures, History, Value, Research, News - conceptcarz.com](https://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z10838/nissan-sentra.aspx)** > > The all new 2007 Nissan Sentra represents a revolution in the advancement of Nissan s popular compact sedan This new sixth generation Sentra is unlike any that has come before with more style space > **[Autoweek.com](http://autoweek.com/?AID=/20061129/FREE/61129003/1064/MICROSITE)** > > Get the latest car news, car reviews, auto show updates, and racing news from Autoweek.

nope, it has rear beam suspension. that sucks, but is going to have paddle shifters(who cares). it should have independent rear suspension. but they are finally getting closer to a great compact. ---

The body mods and wheels are nice, but you pay all that money for an engine upgrade that really isnt noticeable. i’m willing to bet that the current model spec-V sentra would have no problem beating the SE-R altima stop light to stop light. ---

Altima SE-R gets a 6spd as well. This is why I would wait a few years, no way would I pay the extra for the visual differences the SE-R has over the 3.5 SE as a brand new car. And as mentioned before, the new Altima looks TOO MUCH like the Maxima… And what’s the deal with that tranny that “doesn’t shift?” ---

next to the new civic, the sentra se-r is the best 4cly n/a out there. it can crack under 15 sec 1/4 with a good driver, and only costs around $18k. against a altima 3.5, it would lose if it was stock, but i’ve seen plenty videos on the sentra sites where spec’s with only i/h/e going neck and neck with altima 3.5’s, se-r’s, and maximas. nissan is well known for making engines that aren’t close to claimed hp, so a i/h/e spec will be around 165-170 at the wheels, and a stock altima se-r is around 215-220, i know its 50 hp, but the spec weighs a lot less. and believe it or not, specs are built for handling, not 1/4 mile races, so it actually handles pretty well, rear beam and all. ---

And there is no difference between the Ser Altima and the Se Alitima motor. I agree, I have an 03 Sentra Spec V. It’s not that impressive, but it’s pretty good for what was out on the market at the time for under 20k. I think I got mine new for a bit under 17k. Not bad for what you get, but I wasnt’ looking to rip up any pavement with the car. I only have an Injen intake on it, thats it ,and it’s only good for the sound. ANd, FWIW, the regular SER is actually a tiny bit faster than a SPEC V b/c of the added weight of the SPEC V. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/finally-nissan-delivers/186528.md?page=2)
