Now we've read the new Sport Compact Car and seen that only 44 people have voted for the VQ engine they've chosen. (I voted for it and if they win I won't have a car to put it on.) But when I see the competition I stop and stare closely at the details of each car. Exept Super Streets that ain't never going to win. Getting a honda engine and not getting DOHC or VTEC? Yeah.......  I just payed attention on the first installment and never quite kept up until now. I just looked at Import Tuner and they're the only ones really talking trash apart from Super Street (but who cares what they say they got an Accord engine.)
     They got an SR20DET, not bad I like those engines, but they're trying to pump out 700-800hp out of it. And from what they say its....its uhm...its going to blow up. I like SCC; I like how they run things. Not showing up too much not even pretending like they worked too hard on their goals. Just showed up liked what they made and (most of the time) won. I liked when they went to the G-Force challenge and with parts that they would put in one or Two instalments of a project car they kicked ass and won the competition against cars that had tens of thousands of dollars poured in to them.

This is what Import Tuner said, though I don't think it'll matter much....When their engine blows up! )

"These guys crack us up! First, they decide to enter a VQ35DE in the competition. Not a rev-up engine, but still not an entirely bad choice. Then they go to Cosworth to build it. Very good choice; Cosworth wrenches on F1 cars for fun...safe bet they know what they're doing, but here's where things go genuinely SCC--they decide to go naturally aspirated at 3.5L, they're practically at the same displacement as our built SR20 with the forced induction penalty. This means that, pound-for-pound, they'd have to churn out about 770 horses to even be competitive. Isn't gonna happen."


Someone should really tell them there's a 30 min. engine stress competition. But hey its their deal....I hope you guys don't subscribe to that magazine (there goes your subscription money....)
