If we can get Nissan to make a 2400-2500 pound car with the 200HP QR25DE motor we would have a winner.
I know I am dreaming.
The Altima 175 hp QR with CVT gear box at 3,300 pounds gets 33 MPG.
If Nissan made 2 models
1. with 150 Hp QR20DE with CVT in a 2500 pound Nissan and we are getting 40 MPG ( Old School Sentra 1.6 )
2. with 200 Hp and 180 Lb Ft Torque the QR25DE with 6 speed trans at 2500 pounds we would get a 33 MPG car running 14.3 @ 98 MPH ( 2010 Spec V @ 3,200 pounds runs 0-60 @ 6.7 sec and 14.9 @ 93 MPH )
We would have a high performance winner with a nice little gas sipper
If Nissan made the QR25DE with VVL tech the shit would hit the fan. Can we say QR25VEs @ 230 HP and 190 LB Ft Torque.
