SE-R or Spec-V?

[szw]

alright help me decide...i'm kinda iffy now.

Should I get a new Sentra SE-R, or SE-R Spec-V.

The Spec-V costs ~ 1500 more.
here's the breakdown

SE-R
-5spd
-no differential
-165hp/175tq
-plain jane interior (kinda ugly, but not too bad)
16" rims

Spec-V
-6spd
-viscous limited slip differential
-175hp/180tq
-flashier/sportier interior
-17" rims

The Spec-V makes extra power from a tuned ECU I think, and the SPec-V takes Premium fuel rather than the SE-R's regular fuel.

Spec rims

SER rims

Here are pics of the differnet interiors. Note, I think for 2003, silver will replace the red interior of the Spec-V.




(can't find a good spec-interior picture, but this will give you an idea)



Oh also, Spec-V comes with summer only, I've got to get winter rims/tires.
SE-R comes with all-seasons.

sorry for the messy post and some pics don't work..but let me know what you think anyways!

I'm leaning towards the base SE-R, and then I'll have an extra 1500+ to play around with!

Spec-V=

No brainer man!
For $1500 you get so much more in the SPEC V

[CRXguy]

Spec-V dude!!! That's a sweet deal for all them goodies!!

[Wasky]

Get the Spec V You will regret it if you dont!

[Masta Dz16]

Spec - V !!! i would totally go for that shit instead of the SE-R.

[kevie88]

Spec-V or else!! :madred:

[REdOX]

Get a Celica GT heh..

J/K... Go for the spec-v man. $1500 is a small price to pay for being satisfied/happy with your car.

[GingeRRRBeef]

geesh, szw!!!!

Didn't you already ask this in the sentra forum??

Look how frigin ugly the interior is in the SE-R. The dark dash and steering wheel and the tanned seat/etc. EWWWWW


I totally understand what you are going thru because I went thru all of it.

Trust me, you will totally regret it if you get the SE-R. The LSD on the Spec V is worth 1500 bux. It's helical and not viscous just so ya know

Please do yourself a favor and get the Spec V!!!!!!

And it's always nice to know that you've got more gears than you have fingers (plus thumb for those who wants to get technical ) on one hand.

If you have the extra $1500, it would make sense to get the better car

[GingeRRRBeef]

Ditto

[GTS Jeff]

Just for the record, the Spec V doesn't need premium.

And go with the Spec V!!

[RX-7_TWINTURBO]

I agree with everyone here.
for the LSD, 6 Speed and bigger rims
it is well worth the 1500 to go Spec-V

[4wheeldrift]

If you can swing the extra $1500, go with the spec V. The upgrades you get would be cheap at twice the price.

[Evan]

I vote fot the Spec-V

[Ferio_vti]

Spec V. And lower it ASAP. Damn, they sit too high on the 17s

[szw]

It's helical and not viscous just so ya know

haha i realized that as soon as I was about to go to sleep, but too lazy to fix it!

And I'm pretty sure the Spec-V takes premium, silver_specV?

[GTS Jeff]

Well, the Altima, with a slightly higher tuned version of the same engine (180hp/181tq) takes 87...

[Redlyne_mr2]

not only are you gettign way more car for 1500..you're also getting a way better resale value in the end..spec v..you'd be stupid not too
