Close race ... you have low end tq advantage. He has 200hp + mods and weights less. Both are front wheel drive. Chuck everything in your trunk and you may increase your chance of beating the Sentra.

Just my $0.02

spec v's are rated at 175HP not 200. I think you will beat him.

I'll have to check the V-board to find out how responsive the Spec V is to bolt ons. Word of mouth has it that they can get into the 14s with basic bolt ons but for certain.

Spec v's can get pretty quick with bolt ons. They will be in the 14's with bolt ons and I think it will be a drivers race.

My cousin has an 05 Spec V with i/p/h/e. While he's never gone to the track, I've actually had a chance to drive it a few times and that thing is pretty damn quick. Race him from a roll, like from 50-60mph, cause I think you would have a very good shot at winning since you have an edge, top-end wise.

Well, the Spec V is just as fast as a RSX-S. Atleast very close with the RSX-S winning by 1/2 car lengths.

If you can take down an RSX-S you will win.

also, depends on the driver, and if he put on some heavy wheels

a stock rsx-s is much faster than a stock spec V. c'mon guys we are talking about a sentra with the altima 2.5 litre. It isn't that fast. I have wasted a few of these by a wide margin. rsx-s is a much better race for me. rsx-s is 0-60 in 6.2 if driven well. spec v is 0-60 in around 7 secs flat.

Well then 0-60: 7.0 seconds then is right on par with a TL-P.

Indeed, the RSX-S is probably as fast a subcompact as you can get, discounting FIs (WRX, Evo, SRT4, etc,...). IIRC, the RSX-S could chase down a stock EJ205 WRX ( on the new WRX).

That said, I wouldnt sleep on a well driven Spec V.

^^^agreed. Never sleep on any well powered car. The spec V is quick, but not that fast, still I agree it could surprise an unsuspecting TL.
