"uhh LOSER...(hold an L to his head)"
top gear rocks. wish we had a show like that here

 

I like the spec v, with all of the cars I looked at it came down to the spec v or the ralliart, I bought the ralliart because I got a hella deal on it also the spec v is supposed to run premium and the ralliart runs 87, that saves a lot of money. The nissan dealership wouldn't deal so I had to go were I could get the best deal. I love the ralliart, with better tires and a LSD it could take a spec v in corners, the open dif dose hurt it.

 

Not that it helps on the track, but anyone else think thatthe ralliart just looks better. The spec-v is so boring and cheap looking.

 

Yeah a stock FQ-400 Lan Evo

 

I have friends with SE-R's/Spec V's and they don't hate on my Ralliart. Stock the cars are pretty much almost equal especially with the base SE-R's from the first two years of production. Spec V's will have the advantage as previosly stated with the 6-speed & LSD. I'm able to keep up with them except on the damn highway since all of them have alot more mods and just take off on me. One being turbo and the others having full exhausts with no cats from the Header back. I'm waiting on my header from RRM and my Greddy catback is sitting in the house to see how much an improvement it will make.

 

yes.

The Spec V was also a consideration of mine, but decided against it because the exterior appearance.

But if mazda would've dealed as good as mitsu did then I'd probably be driving a 3 GT with Leather...I miss leather after the last car.

Hey , start putting leather in...plz.

 

Maybe the hate stems from the fact that they realize their stock Brembos are OVERKILL!

 

Stock Brembo's? Brembos are an option on V's not stock

The rear beam axle is slight bent for 0 toe.

The V is a driver's car. I see people dumping the clutch at like 4k when it really should be about 1700 for maximum traction. Then again most of them don't know how to drive

 

Your dealer can have it put in for like ~$1200. Two-tone or solid.

 

i'm glad you mentioned that because i agree...the spec v just looks like someone's mom's car...i'd rather be mistaken for an evo that just look like a sentra...i know the gripe is that the ralliart is too boxish and sedan-looking..but i like it..it sets low, has an adequate spoiler without overkill, cool headlight and those mini-turn signals inside, clear tails etc..i catch dudes stretching their necks my way as i pass all the time so it must not look too bad..could have used a more contemporary dash though..but who cares..love the engine sound..esp after 3500rpm...

 

Not my dealer, I brought it a couple times about the no leather and they brushed it off...I think the salesguy even tried to pawn it off as being because it was more of an enthusist car and so lack some of the luxuries...in which case, why so many cup holders?... My other car is a driver's car...NO cup holders, but heated seats, and leather was an option

But oh well, it obviously wasn't a deal killer...

 

why the hate?

We love our Ralliarts
They love their Spec V/SE-R

Pride never settles

 

Most of them outsource it to qualified interior shops anyway. We did it a hundred times, Mitsubishi endorses it. All you have to do is look in the phonebook.

New Sentra debuts for 2007. I wonder if the Spec will return or what it will be like. I had heard the where working on a turbo version of that engine.

 

I like the spec-v's but i dig the ralliart a bit more. With just a cai i became unbeatable against speckled vee's. I raced a friend with an injen intake, header, exhaust, all wrapped up with falken azenis and put one car length between us. The same said friend ran a 14.9 on the strip. Just had to add that too brag. I got no hate for them, or any other ride, i;m bit of a car *****. Its ridiculous to argue which car is better. Personally i like the fact that my ralliart gets no love, its sort of a sleeper, only after the race is when all the compliments come and thats how it should be.

 

It was bugging me, so I call up my friend (o2 spec) and ask him, so nah, it wasn't a rear beam removal, it was a balance shaft removal. It is suppose to give you like 7-9whp.

Im a nissan guy at heart, so I was drawn to the specV early, but the final turn off was that it wasn't produce in japan. That (and a few other facts) turn me to the ralliart even more. I use to have a 2001 Sentra SE (sr20) and was sooo close to turboing it, but change my mind and sold it.

Just like GP said, the 2007 Sentra debuts this year (summer). SpecV is suppose to follow late this year or early 08 and yes, it is suppose to be a turbo. Im keeping a keen eye on it, because this could be the specV that we (atleast me) has been waiting for.
