Argument that must be settled. 91 Sentra XE Vs. 91 240sx SE

[BB Turbo]

Well, there is a certain person on these forums, that also goes to my school. He is a good friend of mine but, he thinks that his sentra XE, which he himself claims to have a whopping 95 horses on a GA16DE, thinks he can beat an S13 with a KA24DE. He said that he ghetto fabbed his intake by removing the stock airbox. Please just someone put something to show the he cannot own a 240sx. He will probably show up and say something. Thank you. BTW, once I get my car, spring of next year, I plan on racing at Baytown, our local strip that is an hour away from where i live. I plan on bringing this to school to show his friends too.:rolleyes

Ya, it'll be a wash. The GA16DE is a joke.

[TurboTuli]

It depends how many stickers he has. I mean, any more than 6 and you're toast.

[nacho_nissan]

i know who that person is...It's nacho_nissan!well the agreement was the ga was going to have cai/h/e,and advanced timing.And the ka was going to be all stock.would he still smoke me?

[AZhitman]

I've got $50 on the 240 (it had better be well-maintained)!

[lessthanjakejohn]

lol what a joke of a race!

[nacho_nissan]

i see people in here dont know what ga's can handle...

[BB Turbo]

Told you all he'd show up, dont worry, I'll post the time slips when we race in the future.

[nacho_nissan]

whats the ka24de 1/4 time?

[[Zero-S]]

high 15s

Trust me the KA has enough torque to stomp you off the line and keep you way far behind for the rest of the race. Period.

[nacho_nissan]

then this will be a close race...

[BB Turbo]

GAY Powered!:newbie: Alright thats enough, I can get him at at school tomorrow.

[Former_240_s14]

okay guys, lets play nice.

and before I go, mister nacho I am sorry to report but your car would be :owned by that ka, and that is just the truth, lol!

nice to know the ol' ka can still :spank something!!!

Found this after a quick search. It could come down to the driver. Yes I realise this is a newer model.

Another race where the winner hits mid-15's and goes home feeling good about himself? I'm actually gonna side with the sentra, just because would it really matter who wins? Guys, don't race.

[krazy skwerel]

Smith it's all in fun, and they want to do it safely. I don't see why you can't have fun running a 16 second 1/4. It's just exciting to race period.

[SmithSR]

That's my point! Would it really matter who wins? I'm firmly siding with the Sentra now. Down with the much-hyped 240!

Show this kid who doesn't have the car yet what a Sentra driver can do when he is familiar with the nuances of throttle and shift points!

[krazy skwerel]

I too back the sentra, thats why I posted the time for that 96. Show the 240sx how it's done. Get a SOHC model and it will be even more amusing.

[MrFox]

he thinks that his sentra XE, which he himself claims to have a whopping 95 horses on a GA16DE, thinks he can beat an S13 with a KA24DE.

My Sentra beats my 240 everyday!My GA16DE gets over 35mpg.KA24DE only about 27mpg. On a good day.

any of u have a digi video cam..u can tape it..n upload to a site..it be pretty funny, i also pick the 240

[krazy skwerel]

Some fun stats from http://www.autos.msn.com

1991 Sentra XE (manual)HP: 110 Tq : 108 lb/ftCurb Weight: 2337 lbsFuel Economy 29/39 mpg

1991 240sx SE Coupe (manual)HP:155Tq: 156 lb/ftCurb Weight: 2684 lbsFuel Economy: 22/28 mpg

Now don't forget the Sentra in question is allowed I/H/E and a couple other mods. Might not be much but it is something. Go Sentra go!

[Repo Man]

You've got to be kidding me. I've beaten V8's and certain turbo'd import cars in my previous 240 with a DE that had only intake and exhaust. A Sentra XE? OMFG, I would crush an XE in my old 240. Hell, my stock single cam with no mods and 198000 miles runs a 16.4.

It's all about the driver. And I can tell you which one is a driver's car. Don't worry though, Sentras are still cool. I don't want EZ Cheeze showing up and messing with my post count or anything...lol.

[krazy skwerel]

We aren't taking into account that the 240 will be driven by a novice to the 240 world, or at least I will assume this. His friend will have more driving experience. I definatly think It will be a driver issue and not who has the beter car. Also the sentra gets to have mods and the 240 must be bone stock. :batman

Oh, I see. So it's a complete apples to oranges comparison. My bad!

[TachyonS14]

I'm sorry, I am the only one who thinks this is a joke ? Lol I like sentra's, I really like SE-R sentra's, but an XE is way out of it's league even WITH bolt-on's. My 240 stock stomps my friends 97' 5spd LS Integra with bolt ons. A XE is done for even if the guy drives crappy.

EDIT: Also another factor, does he have a sunroof? I know that the sunroof option on the SE-R's add like around 250 lbs of weight because of all the extra structrual reinforcing that has to be put in. I read on SR20forums.com where 2 guys with SE'Rs, one with a sunroof, the other w/o both weighed their cars on scales and one was around 2300, the other in the high 2500. So, if he has a sunroof it's going to be a r a p i n g.

Ummm...no. I am not a novice to the 240 world. I have been driving since 5th grade. I learned how to drive stick when I was in 6th. I do know how to drive. I also come from a pretty good list of mechanics and technicians in my family. I have been into 240's since I was in 8th grade. I know my fare share. I know what can be done. My uncle is getting parts together to fix the transmission on his pig nose. I already know its a done deal and I know im gonna win. He on the other hand is so convinced that his B13 will beat me. It is in the name of good fun, not some grudge match or something like that. But, I know you were assuming so no offense taken.

[s86d]

send the sentra home crying

[nacho_nissan]

ok.from what i can see,alot of you dont know about the ga project making 250hp with just bolt-ons!so dont hate on sentras.back to my sentra and the 240...I'm not saying i know alot about cars,but i know much more about sentras than all the haters on this thread.i agree a xe is no match for a 240,but thats y im going to have a few mods. Plus,people work with what they have. Dont worry,well post up the times so all of u can see who really won.those of you hating,well just see...

[s86d]

hey knowledge is power....horsepower is definately power.....and i'm sure your lacking both. No need to get mean just get educated!!!
