ive never been to impressed with the spec-v's they were nice but thats about it they look good. if it were me i would get an older classic or nx2000 or a 200 sx se-r. you can do mor ewith them and get a Substantial horsepower gain from simple bolt ons. another thing to think about is how fast do you want to go i havent driven a spec-v since i worked at nissan when they first came out...but i took one out at night and opened it up and it had a governor at 110 or 120 something like that. ive gotten my nx2000 up to 140 and got scared and slowed down....im a wuss i know....but if your going to be choosing between the spec-v or the se-r get the nismo spec-v....theres one here in sarasota at gettle nissan it looked really nice for 27000 i wish i had that kinda money laying around but then again if i had that kinda money my nx would be done by now

just my .02
