As much of an improvement the Spec V is over the original SE-R, it just
didn't cut it as being as performance dominant in the market as what
happened in 1990.  That domination lasted for a decade.  Even now, the
comparisons to the original Sentra SE-Rs are made to new cars.  That is what
the new SE-R should have been able to accomplish in order even be called and
SE-R.  Hell, it shouldn't have even been given a designation of Spec V (a
cheap way of trying to connect to the supreme V-Spec).  What happens if
Nissan decides to push the 2.5 performance even more?  What kind of weak ass
designation will they give it?
