it should be sport compact car magazine vs hot rod magazine.

but then again sport compact car magazine isn't really sport "compacts" anymore.

I would hardly call an audi S4, or a skyline GTR or NSX sport compact.

Stupidest thing I have ever seen. Duh! Will a 6 litre V-8 with a 300 shot of NOS beat a 2 litre honda??

If just 1 import wins that day I would declare it a victory for imports.

I say make it a triathalon of motorsports each catagory have a 33.33% value to to the total Score. 1/4 Mile / Autocross / Road Course. Lets see who wins then.

Lets see a 8 second Camaro navigate a technical Autocross. Buhahaha! I'd pay money to see that.

i wanna do that at sears point/infinion; you run the drag strip and make the right onto the roadcourse and then run 3-5 laps, the drag time can be averaged in or something.

TURBO MAGAZINE vs HOT ROD. Then we might see some fairness.

there might be a chance they are fair about picking races...

after all, last month's issue did showcase the Subaru WRX STI...and it seemed they actually preferred if over the Stang

but yeah, chances are they would be rooting for the V8's. Would they be confused if some V8 conversion rx-7's showed up? haha

so much negativity

Hot Rod magazine has been around alot longer then any of us, I

doubt they will make themselves look bad with biased challenges

If any of you were to actually read Hot Rod you would see they

touch on the subject of high tech imports as well as domestics,

but the truth is that its Hot Rod, not Turbo, not SCC.

People dont pick up Turbo or SCC to read about a big block

camaro. By the way, Turbo used to be FULL of domestics

when it first came out all Buicks and Mustangs, yes, you heard right MUSTANGS.

why cant you guys respect the work that goes into someone's car

and be a fan of anything with performance and speed, free your minds
