Grab the latest issue of SCC, Sport Compact Car.
On the front it's cover article is about " Old School Japaneese
sports cars."
The mag has a Honda NSX on the Cover with a Supra and
a Nissan Z.
Any way the 98 3000 Was awsome!
GT PRO put up the car for the Shoot out.
I won't give away the details but.
I will say that either way being a owner of a STEALTH or a 3000
I am proud of the looks and bang-for-the-buck FUN FACTOR!
Our cars no matter how old or out-of- production they are stand
the test of time against the higher priced competion.
READ THE ARTICLE IT's good!

Really?

I thought it was kinda nice to have the winning car, but felt that otherwise the magazine pretty much said "these old cars break alot, and the new cars are faster with less horsepower."

Each to there own.

I also thought it was amussing how much info on the 3000gt SCC got wrong.

They have been on a down hill slide for a while now. I miss the geek section where he talked about the wildest crap.

I was pleasently suprised to see him talk smack to a kid that wrote in asking which vertical lift door system was the best.

Well when a car wins with your companies name on it, it makes you feel proud, it also gets the name out to many kids out there that have some money, thus perhaps helping you open your shop up sooner.

So everybody should buy parts from me now...haha if you want
Help me and Joe finally get a performance shop going in Wisconsin

Hey, I never said anything about spoiling the ending.

But what I can't believe, is that they couldn't find decent running examples of all of these cars... unless they started on monday, and gave up on friday, without looking through there contact book.

I mean, it looked like everyone in the contest had something that caused them not to be ready.

the supra didn't have decent tires, the 3000GT was started RIGHT before the contest, and I can't remember what the Z's problem was. Why didn't SCC use there own z? I remember the guy that built that project talking smack about how it was the cleanest Z EVER, and that it would wax any car driving on pavement... so wtf...?

I mean, props to GT-Pro, and all, but I just thought the magazine article was written in a way that made it look like these cars were less than reliable, and breaking because of age, which I don't believe is true.

What did the GT-Pro car make for hp? I think it was a tad under 600?

I mean it's not like it was winning the ultimate street car challenge. It was "old school brawl." not much of a spoiler there...

Excuse me if I won't hold my breath until the re-sale value of 3000gts starts going up because of this article.
