Sorry, but the xA will get slaughtered.

 

sorry, but you're slow. we established that 15 replies back. lol. im just playin.

 

No, but there are some people who posted replies thinking it would be close. They only way an xA will beat an SE-R is with BOOOOOOOST.

 

alright, so here goes my last attempt at this one... We're all intelligent here, so if you think my numbers need adjustment say so, but don't be a pain and say something simple like "the SE-R is going to kick the xAs ___"

manual drive transmission loss for the xA is like 12.1%... with all the mods he mentioned he would be lucky to get 110 hp/108? ft pounds to the wheels (I'm guestimating, Stylis had a manifold back exhaust and Injen style intake and was putting 101 to his heavy azz 18" wheels)

xA: 0.047/0.046 hp/torque weight ratio

I would think that the SE-R automatic would have a 15% drivetrain loss on an automatic (is that too much considering 12% on our manual?) on a 2700 pound car with 170 HP and 175 ft pounds of torque (http://www.se-r.net/about/sentra_se-r/specs2.html) which would equate to about 145hp/149 torque to the wheels...

all this on a 4 speed automatic vehicle (I've yet to see shifting on an automatic that can really shift well when the pedal is down)

SE-R: 0.053/0.055 hp/torque weight ratio

so we're talking about 6 1 thousandth and 9 1 thousandth of a difference, which don't let it fool you is something to at least notice...

still, even though the numbers are against this xA owner I would say have fun... the worst that could happen is you get edged out by a car length (or two) by a sportscar that has 60% larger engine than you

Calculates your aproxx quarter mile...

is not very accurate but it will give you a number to think of

i calculated the xb with injen intake so is 112 flywheel hp and it says 17 sec quarter mile haha

 

Okay. got to put my 2cents. first off. I hope this race is going to be a track. all things being eaqual the power to wait ratio would be the deciding factor. but driver experience will play heavily in this race, what road & track say it will run, you or I won't get close. I spent money, got some sponsors and my xb with a auto still runs 19's and mid 18 is the best, but I suspect happy clocks that night. everybody was fast that weekend.

the first one to finish line is not always the fastest one either. last night I ran a honda civic, 17.8 was his dial in, we ran heads up. I caught the light better than he did, He was snoozing, I crossed the finish line first 19.06, he was on my bumper at 17.86, he broke the light after I did, later exam of time slips showed I cut a .7 second quicker reaction time. we have a member of our SE chapter run his stock stick xb and get 20 and 22 et. mine is an auto and I was faster and I out weigh him by 100 lbs. Auto faster than stick? I have a dc header, stylis exhaust, k&n cold air intake. Power to wieght does not always win. Always consider the driver. Be safe and take it to the track when you do race.

 

LOL*this is getting good*****Pass the popcorn*******

 

Times like this make me VERY happy that I have a 220hp Integra in my garage :D
