Well you obviously have more experience with Sentras than I do, but 140 mph? I've never been in an SE-R but I have been in an Integra TR and its high speed stability left something to be desired. Maybe I'm just too used to the Porsche.

I'm just also not a fan of FWD either. My daily driver is FWD so it's not like I've never driven one, because I do have some fun with that car, but RWD is much nicer. Torque steer sucks!
