again this all depends on the drivers...

but arent all sentras automatic?

if so, then a manual dx has the edge...

There a five-speed manual transmission car.

The 2000 Sentra is offered in three trim levels, XE, GXE and SE

XE, GXE ---------1.8 litre
SE-------------2.0 litre

The DOHC 1.8-liter cranks out 126 horsepower at 6,000 rpm but more significantly it delivers 129 foot-pounds of torque

The DOHC 2.0-liter produces 145 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 136 foot-pounds of torque (up from 132) at 4,800 rpm.

By the way, a five-speed manual transmission is standard on all models.

1995 Civic coupe trim.

D15B7
102hp @ 5900 rpm
98lb/ft @ 5000 rpm

D16Z6
125hp @ 6600 rpm
106lb/ft @ 5200 rpm

Sentra's got more torque.....

That one wasnt made in 2000

Mind you, do a couple basic mods to the 95 stock civic and then call the 2000 stock sentra.....

Spec V's Im not sure... got to look that one up....

well the sentra spec v is not at all fast...it sounds scary with 175 horse, but a si 95 could rape it, stick and no mods....in a quarter mile and we beat it from stop light to stop light...

i don't think a stock 95si runs a 15.5 1/4 stock the spec V does...

my buddy's V (stock) can "keep up" with my b16 h/b... an SE-R base auto is another story though

as far as 2000 dx coupe vs. 2000 sentra

the b15 SR20 (se trim) will take it no problem, the Si would be a little closer...

this is assuming similar drivers, same conditions obviously
