Victory Chevrolet

Want a sport-compact hot rod? Our '07 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V is an enthusiast's machine and autocross-ready! This story begins with an engine. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine has plenty of displacement, adds a very efficient sixteen-valve cylinder head, and then adds a 6-speed manual transmission. The result is lots of torque under the power curve, so there's none of the wispy, breathless performance that curses small-displacement engines when they're stretched to their limits.

There's a terrific amount of coupe-like grit to this small sedan. When you drive it on the racetrack or on an autocross course, it won't wimp out. The Spec V's standard Torsen-type limited-slip differential makes the front end feel as if it's really digging for traction, no matter how much throttle pedal you throw at it. Whip the steering wheel back and forth, and the power assist keeps up with your enthusiasm (a rare thing in this class).

One nice surprise is the way our SE-R Spec V looks. That is, it looks good. A rear wing, sill extensions, and a Skyline-like front fascia make you forget all about a standard Sentra. The interior is handsomely trimmed as well. Safe to say the supportive seats are the best in this class.

All this at our price point? More cars should be built to this formula.
