And that as little as 11 years ago you could get a Nurburgring tuned Sentra SE-R Spec V.

2018 Sentra SR Turbo

How the mighty have fallen.

That's the wrong one. Take it back another gen

I can get behind that idea.

This generation Spec V sentra is on my short list of cars to buy with cash in case my FoST gets wrecked.

I’d daily a sub 5000$ one every day of the week.

Nah I like this gen. Sadly this is the last gen before they started going soft. Right around the Recession is when they lost their balls. Well one of em. Outside of the R35 and Z.

Had a 1992 SE-R back In “the day”. Best damn car ever. Light, tossable, glorious engine, great suspension. Stock it handled fantastic.

I’ve never had another car that had better sum of its parts than that Sentra.

Won C&D’s best small car for like 3 or 4  years I believe.

The B16 is substantially slower/softer than the B15 it replaced. IMO, the B15 was the last gen before they went soft.

My uncle had one in the mid 90's and I thought it was the best car ever. Not only did it drive good but it was cheap and good on gas too.
