i think you will, but id get a CAI from cosmos for $140 to be sure :wink

[e30driver]

do you mean ser?
if you do you can, when i raced one with my e30 325 i all ways got him on take off but after i hit third gear he caught up and passed me.
btw my car has 123hp but has 175 or 180 tourqe!!!
i raced an i version of my car and we were even untill i got in the middle of third!!! so try it!!

Yeah you should be able to beat it if my auto 325i, all stock engine could beat a 2004 one that was also SPEC V so 10 more hp basically.

Meant did beat one. Someone at my school had one, and he was definetely trying could hear him revving away and downshifting and stuff.

the Sentra SE-R has 2.5 4cyl... with 165 hp...

so do some math!

[Furious]

you have to factor HP, torque , weight and skill...

[Zapak4eva]

how is that CAI for 140 from Cosmos? How is the sound?

Your car is heavier. If you both are equally good at stick, I think he should win.

My 328i auto (stock) beats Type R manual speed everytime.
The launch on my car (with ASC off and leaving in 3rd) is awesome !!

[///M Power]

Can we clarify he doesnt he actually mean a type R. This topic is very misleading. He is reffering to a SENTRA se-R

[98three28i]

thats doubtful. I had an '03 Spec V with intake and headers and I used to make my buddy in a 328is look like he was walking. That car is really light and pretty damn quick

[drz]

So, how did it go??? Race him yet?

[triggrhaapi]

I put my money on the Sentra. Those fuckers are FAST.

I just saw type-R + 170hp and i was like WTF ? the Type-R is 199hp here in Iceland

but well.. Sentra SE-R's are FAST AS FUCK.. and since my Pulsar/Sunny GTi smoked em E36 325i's then i'd bet on the Sentra
