Not to diss you Tritonheat1. But the Sentra they are talking about is the 2002 model SE-R Spec V, not back to the 1993. I didn't made the numbers up.
The cars:
Dodge Neon R/T (150hp@6600, 135lbs@4800)
Mazda Protege MP3 (140hp@6000, 142lbs@4500)
Nissan Sentra Spec V (175hp@6000, 180lbs@4000)
Subaru Impreza 2.5RS (165hp@5600, 166lbs@4000)
Volks Jetta 1.8T 2002 (180hp@5500, 174lbs@1950)
This 0-60 data is very depend on the drivers skill. Every shift he move might make .1 - .3 sec different. Also it depends on the weather and road conditions.
A .5 slower seem reasonable to me, but I still doubt that a 93 protege LX(N/A) could actually goes faster than the TypeR????
