92 Z vs 03 nissan spec v

A friend of mine has and 03 spec v and it runs pretty good with just an exhaust. I have a 92 Z 305 TPI 5 speed with 3" magnaflow catback, throttlebody bypass, no cat, and homemade ram air with 3.08 gears. What is the outcome?

Enlighten me

Sentra right? 2.5L? If so, you prolly got it in the bag, they're pretty quick, but they aren't exactly a racecar...

i read the the new ones run 15.35 in the quarter, they are like 185 hp but they are very light. a dork i work with thinks its so fast so im gonna race him with my ta and then with my dads modded gtp . I think it will be very close if you race him , too close to call.

SE-R spec V

Dyno Results:
134 HP 145 ftlbs (to the wheels)

With hedder, underdrive pullies and CAI
150 HP 156ftlbs

I dunno how much they weigh, but my puny little V6 makes more power and torque... I wouldn't be worried unless they weigh like 2000lbs (wouldn't happen, but...)

Well considering the Sentra is a 4 banger...

The Spec V is quick for what it is but you SHOULD take him unless you drive a stick like you have downs syndrome or something

Should be a decent race. I was considering getting one of those but the car is just too small for me. The 2.5 puts out decent power for what it is.

I had the same motor in my '02 Altima S. Its a nice motor, good on mileage, but it didn't seem all that powerful. Granted, my car was a heavier one, but...

They have 175hp stock (at least in '02). They are becomming the new high-schooler cars now, quickly replacing the Jettas around here. Its like a plague. Anyway, they are quick, but not THAT quick.

My GTZ will walk away from them - even with intake and full exhaust.
