I have to disagree a CRUVE is the sentras worts night mare. I was going home down a country road and after passing about 45 the car comes alive with new found agility and starts to oversteer and with the touch of the wheel you can be grabbing the wheel and yanking for dear life if you don't keep constant attention to the road.

Actually, the car handles relatively good handling. I think you need to learn how to drive it hard in the corners, as it'll take alot of balls and skills to keep it on the road. The handling charcteristics of the B12 are just different. Don't mind the squealing tires and pay attention and you won't have a problem.

without a decent suspension (good oem unit) the handling sucks... that about good for all makes and models... with a good oem i found my self on the edge of squealing in a cuve at 80kph, wich was rated max 45.... those sign are just for elderly thou

I remember the fun in my DSM. Turn rated at 15mph, I took at 55mph, and even kept in my lane

I plan on making my future B12 handle similar.

seems like i'm kinda late for this topic, anyways,

Got my B11 (with an E13) to about 155KM/h before I ran out of road, and guts..

At that speed, with 5th, its about 4500rpm

SuperSentra4203 · Mar 10th, 2003, 01:41 PM

E13!!!! Sure scoots for a 1.3L. Even a E15, I think that speed is remarkable. The only reason I topped my B12 out is because i'm a fucking idiot, and there was no traffic around, just me, a friend, and a straight highway with a downslope.(droool)

My Pulsar and I bow before you. *bows*
Although I have an Auto, so it isn't that bad...

It's not really that amazing, man...B11s are quite light, way lighter than B12s. So nothing to write home about..hehe

SuperSentra4203 · Mar 11th, 2003, 04:05 PM

What is the weight comparison for the B11 to the B12? I'm pretty sure the B12 is only like 2100-2200lbs.
I think the main thing keeping these cars from hitting higher top speeds it the amount of drag. B11 & B12 are about as aerodynamic as a brick wall

boost_boy · Mar 11th, 2003, 08:04 PM

I don't see the B11 being too much lighter than the B12. Anybody care to break out their titles and do a comparison. My 89 Hyundai Excel weighed in at 2184 fully loaded with an electric sunroof. My title on my 90 says 2,265lbs.

Rain-Xx · Mar 11th, 2003, 08:23 PM

My Pulsar is about 1150kg. ... and it's much more aerodynamic than a Sentra (Least, it LOOKS like it is). And I topped out at 150... ahh well.

Mar 11th, 2003, 09:08 PM

Yeah, they are as 'square' as brick. If I'm not mistaken my B11 only weighs about 895 KG. Convert that to lbs?

SuperSentra4203 · Mar 12th, 2003, 09:12 AM

I did some math>

895Kg=1973lbs
1150Kg=2535lbs

Are you sure your Pulsar weighs that much, thats 100lbs less than my old 1st gen Eclipse.

tom · Mar 12th, 2003, 02:03 PM

so mine's got 1000kg empty. in general they're pretty light, no wonder, there's no modern safety-equipment that makes'em really heavy for their size...
