Am I missing something here or do people not know that the V has a 1.8L??? Because your the second person who said 1.6

Some markets have a 1.6

[tata12001]

yes some markets have 1.6 (HR16DE) ex: Egypt.

I'm strapped in with my 5 point sparco harness, 10 point cage, and my recaro racing desk chair ready to bench race!!! AHHAHAHAHA idiots!

[reyes1212]

Idiots?I dunno, but having some Sparco evo red seats, would be fun.One time I accidentally went from high rpm 3rd to 2nd. wasnt too bad.

I say let mr.genius race his car so it'll blow up on him and he wont have anything else to ruin.

first off, i didnt race on the street...it was at piedmont dragway in North Carolina.....second i did stay door to door with a 5.0 mustang, with over 100 witnesses watching, he ran a 10.9 and i ran an 11.2.....i use to want a V6 tiburon so when my buddy got one we ran them, i stayed with him until mid 4th gear......if you dont believe me fine..idc...but i know what my V will do and to be honest im proud of it....especially since my buddy's SVT Focus ran a 10 flat.....these were sanctioned events, drop jaw mag covered it, in fact there is a pic of my car racing the mustang on it....he jumped me on the line, and in mid 2nd gear i pulled beside him..... http://www.dropjawmag.com/2008...7.htm

Explain how you have modded your V to be able to acheive an 11.2 quarter. That's almost 6 seconds off the quarter time for a stock V. Has anybody else in this forum seen or heard of a Versa running a quarter even close to that time?? I thought not. I simply do not believe you.

its 1/8 of a mile not a 1/4. a big difference in length.

[biggie]

Just had to say, don't use the 5.0 race when telling about the Versa's speed. A 10.9 1/8 mile for a V8 is the slowest I've ever heard. My coupe can get a 10.2 or so with stiff suspension and skinny tires/open diff and I know I can't beat a V8 in a drag race. That had to be the worst driver ever.

Quick question, even with that much of power difference. Cant you granny shift the mazda and still win?

Granny shift? Am I the only one who doesn't know what the heck that means?

Yes. And honestly, I think you could skip gears in the mazda and still win (i.e. 1 to 3 to 5)

Its just shifting like you normally do while driving a stick shift but in more of a hurry

[Great White Versa]

Huh?

[Skim302]

Huh?

I knew someone wouldn't understand lol. What I mean is when your driving your car you push the clutch all the way down and take your foot off the gas and shift. This is granny shifting.

The alternative to granny shifting is double clutching. Which has to do with keeping your foot on the gas but barely pushing your clutch and shifting gears. I dont really understand it and I probably got it wrong.
