I can always respect a fast car, and yeah that sentra is fast for what it is...but come on why would you want to choose a sentra of all cars to blow so much money on. yeah, it's decently fast. But for the price of JUST the motor alone, i can get my car into the 11's. It would be one thing if it was a really nice looking car, but that thing looks like complete ****. I would spend the money saving for something that's not such an eye sore.
Like they say: Racing in a fast, old, ugly-*** sentra is like racing in the special olympics. You may win, but in the end you're still retarded.

I agree about the whole fast FWD car thing... RWD is better, but some people just happen to like certain cars that just happen to be FWD. But I do have a couple things to say about the highlighted points; I can't imagine that an early-90s Sentra chassis is anymore ancient than a 4th-gen F-body chassis, and I counter the transaxle/CV thing with 10-bolt rearend. Neither is really made to stand up to much abuse. I swear, if the Camaro/Firebird were made by Honda/Toyota/Nissan you'd probably still talk **** about them.
As for the 10 bolt rear, your arguement is moot, because you're comparing two totally different things. A 7.5" is about the same size as the entire Sentra transaxle, so while it may be the weak point in a car as large and powerful as an F-body, its still huge in comparison to anything found in any japanese car.

You are just like all the F&F **** that stand on the sidelines of street races talking **** like little bitches. So much bullshit gets thrown around its not even funny, its called GO TO THE TRACK and see what people actually can run. Obviously you've never been to a sanctioned event, you're too busy being the flagman for inner city street racing, or just standing on the sidelines talking **** on your cellphone with your thumb up your ***

The Sentra is an economy car chassis. Its light and weak. The 4th gen F-body chassis is plenty strong, and with a couple upgrades it will take just about anything you can throw at it.

People break stock 10 bolt rears in F-bodys because it can't handle 350ft/lbs of torque all that well, its too small for that purpose.
However, as far as transmissions, transaxles, and rears go, its a hell of a lot bigger than anything you'll find in a jap car, especially your precious S2000. The fact that F-bodys break 7.5's in stock form and a 10 bolt diff is about the size of your entire transmission should tell you something. You're clueless though, I doubt you've ever even looked under your car.

Not again...
I'm forced to speak.
You know the cobalt turbo SS got a 8:22 around the ring, right?
I think the new cobalt is half-*** decent considering it's FWD, but there are a few issues with your statement there.
FIrst off, the c5 z06 managed a 7:56 with Dave Hill behind the wheel, WITHOUT a rolling start.

In fact, the only chevy I can find that was slower then the cobalt that they actually bothered to test at the ring was a C5 AUTOMATIC, which only managed an 8:40. But this was done by an independent, not chevrolet's racing team.
Now I don't feel like arguing documented track times any more, so I'll just link you to the most complete and reputable list I could find: http://fastestlaps.com/track2.html

People do blow the 7.5 rear ends w/ stock power but others run them into the 10's. I do believe that the size matters because a 12 bolt, 9 inch or dana60 are all physically larger and stronger than a 10 bolt.

Size does matter, but it's not the end-all-be-all when it comes to strength and durability. And like I said, most of the people running great numbers with the 7.5" are doing so with automatics so it puts out less shock.
