Hey guys,

Here are some of my Spec V pics. Some of them are crappy because they are all blurry. But anyways,

Your pictures are kind of blurry? I think its because your license plate is there but why not just blur the license plate? Anyway, that's a pretty cool car.

No smart guy LOL that's the way the pictures developed

I wish Mazda had put some power into that car. I love the way the car looks and feels(when your sitting in the seat).

Uuhhh, its a Nissan. And I thought the Spec V's had 170hp or something like that?

Nice car dude, I looked at those before I got the Accord. Didn't want to wait to order one in...

Yeah, at first when I read LancerShelby's post I thought he was smoking crack.

Just in case, you're thinking that it's an MP3 or a Protege 5, it's not.

Yeah, it's not a mazda ..... stop smoking cheeba :p

It does have some power 2.5 L 16 valve 4 banger 175hp/180lbs of torque

Continuous Variable Timing control (CVTC), just like V-tec. Me thinks V-tec is a stage 2 variable timing control but I might be wrong

Yeah, I'm gonna need some money to drop it. But that'll really be a cosmetic thing. This thing handles like it's slammed. But I'm gonna get a the I/E/H before dropping it though.

The HLSD is freaking AWESOME. Just whip into a turn, stomp on the gas and the HLSD just pulls you thru the turn with so much torque. I've never driven a car with it before. It took a bite to get used to but I love it.

Well, I like the close gear ratios but I hate how clunky the shift from 1st to 2nd is but either than that it's alright. I wish 1st was a little bit longer and wimpier. It's really hard to get power to the ground without lighting the tires up.

any complaints about the car?

Complaints??? Ummm let see well I do have some oil burnage. But not that much.

I get a little bit of a whining noise from the tranny when the rpms drop down from 2k in 2nd gear. I'm gonna have the dealership check it out when I bring it in for an oil change in a couple of weeks. If there is anything wrong, I don't really care because it's still under warranty and I wouldn't mind getting the 2003 tranny.

My biggest complaints are road noise and bumpy ride.

I realize that a bumpy ride comes from a stiff suspension but the road noise is pretty harsh at higher speeds.

Either than that, I love my car so far. I couldn't have gotten a better NEW car for the cash. (I know I could have bought a kiss ass used car for 24 Gs but I wanted a new car)

Well, my car doesn't blow blue either but oil burning is a characteristic of a new engine ya know

My car doesn't eat the oil like you would think, just a little bit of oil drop like a new car is supposed to

They are not THAT slow but let's see 2L inline 4 banger 130hp/135 lbs of torque ... it's not that quick either.

Compared with its own class, the 5 can hold it's own (Neons, Cavaliers, Corollas, Civics, not the new SiRs etc) but sorry to be bias, the Spec V out classes every single one of those
